Was there ever a time we could truly call feminist so that we can talk today about the postfeminist world? This question extracted from the Romanian survey within the volume on European Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies stands as a true central question of the study edited by Renate Haas. Thanks to Renate Haas, an English professor from the University of Kiel, the readers within and outside the confines of academia have the opportunity for an insight into the sixteen national surveys on the Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies of the Continent provided by twenty-five female experts. Along with the statistical research and critical insight and both from the geographical and historical dimension, the collection of surveys presents the institutional aspects of Women’s and Gender Studies related to the English Studies, the discipline oriented to English language, Anglophone literatures and worldwide communication. Besides the informative “Introduction” and motivating “Conclusion” given by Renate Haas, the volume consists of four chapters divided “geographically” and entitled as follows: “Southern Europe”, “Western and Central Europe”, “Northern Europe” and “South-Eastern and Eastern Europe”. Putting into the spotlight Rosie Braidotti’s 2002 assertion that “both terminology and the bulk of the scholarship in Women’s [and Gender] Studies have been generated in English-speaking cultures and traditions” (p. 12), the essential question of the volume is the academic institutionalization of Women’s and Gender Studies, in Haas’s opinion, closely intertwined with the “linguistic turn”. English has become both lingua franca and lingua academica of the Continental Europe which is as a geographic entity taken widely and unbiasedly. The very fact that many languages do not distinguish the term “gender” in its biological and sociological aspect proves at least a tiny particularity of the English language importance for the recognition of Gender Studies as a specific area of research.
Making a brief, informative and clarifying introduction to the presented case studies, Renate Haas points out to certain problems she had encountered during the phases of gathering experts and analyzing the results of the first surveys of this kind. Certainly, the primary obstacle was the English Studies disregard for its own history. Editing the first overall view of Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies, Haas was aware of “the danger of putting the cart before the horse” (p. 16) and the possibility of too many gaps in the quest of a deeper understanding of Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies as a European discipline. The first kind of problems was related to the life unexpected circumstances such as the premature death of Ljiljana Ina Gjurgjan, the chairwoman of English Literature Department in Zagreb, whose draft on Croatian transitional society and formation of Women’s Studies is, nevertheless, included. Other problems were, as speculated by Haas, most probably ideological. Finding an expert from Russia seemed rather difficult and at the point of finding an enthusiastic one, the editor never heard from her. The readers remained deprived of Russian anglistika survey whose lack in the volume is marked more than its presence would have been. Proposing a structural outline for each national survey where the authors would introduce the development and institutionalization of Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies, Haas encouraged scoping out the national context and history glimpses regarding First Women’s Movement, degree of women-friendliness, etc. Haas’s important conclusion is that surprisingly many contributors, unable to properly place the Women’s and Gender Studies within the English Studies, were unaware of the literary studies crucial role for the 1970s Women’s Movement.
The first chapter mapping Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies of Southern Europe include Portugal (Ana Gabriela Macedo and Margarida Esteves Pereira), Spain (Ester Álvarez López, Isabel Carrera Suárez and Carla Rodríguez González) and Italy (Vita Fortunati). The first wave of feminism was rather fruitful in Portugal and the first teaching modules of feminism and Gender Studies were established within the English courses at the English and American Department at the Universidade do Minho in the 1990s. Portuguese survey affirms that the liaison between English Studies and Gender Studies was more obvious than in other fields of literary studies. Comparing to Portugal where establishing Women’s and Gender Studies as a discipline was achieved quite late, the dictatorship during the Spanish Civil War was the main reason for an enormous impediment for Gender Studies progress in Spain. The flourishing of the Spanish feminism has its political roots and with its integration into the English Studies and modern languages, there has been a long history of scrutinizing gender content in many BA, MA and doctoral courses. However, Italy represents a quite particular, and almost isolated case, where the liaison between Italian universities and Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies was created due to the necessity of European and non-European entities comparison. What seems paradoxical is that Italy stands for an example of the gap between the high-level expertise and the non-existent institutional recognition.
The second chapter is certainly the most extensive including the following countries of the Western and Central Europe: France (Florence Binard), Belgium (Marysa Demoor), Germany (Renate Haas), Austria (Susanne Hamscha), Czech Republic (Věra Eliášová, Simona Fojtová, Martina Horáková) and Croatia (Ljiljana Ina Gjurgjan). The early 1970s were crucial for the French history of Women’s and Gender Studies and Hélène Cixous was considered one of the most relevant French Anglicist who founded the center for women’s studies research as the first of its kind in Europe. Introducing pluridisciplinarity in an entourage of highly centralized and government-dependent universities, the development of French Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies depended more on the individual efforts than on the institutional goodwill, which seems to be the conclusion in many presented case studies. Further on, the case study of Belgium is a brief report with rather personal overtones and sporadic poetic discourse: the author elaborates on her own experiences at the Centre of Gender Studies at the University of Ghent, of being a researcher in English literature and telling how much work has been done to make Belgium a country of a good standing position of women’s equality. Concerning the case of Germany, Haas provides meticulous statistics setting four phases in the general development of German Women’s and Gender Studies. What seems surprising is that there is no networking among German Anglicists and that despite comparative analyses, it’s quite complex to distinguish specific tradition of German Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies whose development Haas defines metaphorically as a snowball effect – two steps forward and one step back. The example of Austria, however, shows the same slight regression during the recent years regarding the development of Gender Studies which are considered in several cases as a subfield of Cultural Studies. Again, thanks to individual endeavors, the institutionalization of Gender Studies in the curricula of Austrian English and American Studies emerged from a natural affinity between the American Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies providing valuable insights into history, sociology, political science, culture, identity and body studies. Czech Republic as a post-communist society, similar to some other examples of transitional societies and newly accepted EU members, began the academic institutionalization of Women’s and Gender Studies as a democratic requirement in the new economic and legal context. The institutionalization was related mostly to the sociology departments than to the English Studies departments. Another example of a transitional society in which the women’s studies were formed during the 1950s is Croatia. Due to the author’s death, the survey of Croatia is left as a draft, a short note with interesting insights into the local phallocentric narrative that fluctuates between the male-dependent woman and a man-like monstrous one. It would be also stimulating to elaborate further on the case of Croatia since even geographically, and therefore, geopolitically, the country itself represents a crossroads of Central and South-Eastern Europe.
Chapter three introduces another geographically, historically and ideologically different area of Anglicist Gender Studies research – Northern Europe. The presented surveys were carried out in Sweden (Mia Liinason), Finland (Elina Valovirta, Joel Kuortti) and Lithuania (Marija Aušrine Pavilioniene). Swedish example argues that the institutionalization of Gender Studies in the 1970s was connected to “language science”, however resulting in a successfully established women-friendly society but demonstrating certain practices and knowledge rooted in the deep structures of inequality. The Swedish paradox reflects critically about the successful integration of Gender Studies into academia but also about the production of knowledge and mainstream discourse around sex, gender and sexuality, which is rather unique in the author’s opinion. On the other hand, Finish case shows a high institutionalization of Gender Studies noting that its presence within the English Studies is not featuring high, mostly based on individual efforts. Although not being able to present a national outline of Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies, the authors offer the analysis on eight departments out of fourteen existing in Finland. The Finnish survey argues the “national fantasy of women-friendly welfare state” (p. 248) which is rooted in the Nordic branch of equality feminism. Lithuania, reaching its independence in the post-Soviet phase, stands as a different example. Becoming far more democratic and regulated by EU policies, the impetus for struggle, creation of new traditions and new knowledge dissemination within literary studies and English and American departments influenced the development of Women Studies and gender centers in Lithuania. Still, the political life in Lithuania and the lack of proper legal framework represent the hindrance for the constant progress.
Chapter four gathers surveys from South-Eastern and Eastern Europe including countries as follows: Serbia (Aleksandra Izgarjan, Dubravka Djurić), Romania (Ana-Karina Schneider, Corina Selejan), Bulgaria (Milena Katsarska) and Armenia (Seda Gasparyan, Gayane Muradian). Serbian survey enlists three phases of women’s movement: the beginning of the 20th century, the 1970s and the 1990s as a post-socialist period. The deconstruction of the nationalist agenda and dictatorial regime of the 1990s was also led through gender studies, a developing field in Serbia which began as an NGO sector financed by Western feminist foundations. The specificity of Serbian Gender Studies is the distinctive fraction between theory and activism. The first NGO Women’s Studies Center [Centar za Ženske studije] was founded in 1991 in Belgrade as an interdisciplinary educational project and in Novi Sad in 1997 named Women’s Studies Mileva Marić. The transition from NGO to academic domain began with the foundation of the Center for Gender Studies in 2003 within the University’s Association of Centers for Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies, however, still not being able to achieve the full institutionalization. It is a rather significant fact that most of the gender theory texts read in Serbia were published in English. The first master and doctoral courses were initiated officially at the English Department in Novi Sad and Sociology Department in Belgrade. The gender courses are also offered at the Center for Gender Studies and Politics which is a structural part of the Faculty of Political Science in Belgrade. However, the university degree in gender is not recognized by the Serbian Ministry of Education indicating that these centers have achieved their objectives only partly. What this survey does not mention is a project financed by Serbian Ministry of Education and Science dedicated to gender theory and criticism, literary science and culture – Knjiženstvo. Since 2011, relying mostly on Western models, Knjiženstvo has featured many texts on gender theory developing as well its own digital base of Serbian female authors converging the theoretical and pragmatic aspects of feminism. On the other hand, combining elements of gender theory and English Literary Studies is visible in several master and doctoral courses at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade but also in certain seminal texts by Adrijana Zaharijević, Aleksandra Jovanović, Aleksandra Izgarjan, Biljana Dojčinović, Dubravka Đurić, Dubravka Popović Srdanović. This successful research of gender through Serbian English Studies and vice versa is certainly an important impetus for further development.
The rise of the women’s movement in Romania coincides with the rise of the national identity. However, the authors argue about a general opinion in Romanian society that there is no strong women’s movement nor any need for it. The institutionalization of Women’s and Gender Studies in Romania began right after the downfall of communism in the 1990s but the evolution of the Romanian Anglicist Women’s and Gender Studies, due to the lack of networking and collaboration, is not well documented. The neighboring country of Serbia and Romania, Bulgaria, although showing elements of a society of sexism, homophobia, racism and nationalism, as the author emphasizes, is the place where Gender Studies have been expanding since the 1990s. Moreover, Gender Studies closely related to the English Studies have become a high developing field of research in Bulgaria mostly as gender-sensitive critical pedagogy. The English Studies academics were the main contributors to the process of institutionalization and also today women form a hegemony within the English departments in Bulgaria.
On the other hand, the Armenian example seems however solitary since it is the only Eastern European survey declaring that little has been achieved to develop a “full-gender inclusive curriculum” (p. 391) but still many activities concerning Gender Studies were put into action. It is noted that the full institutionalization of Women’s and Gender Studies in Armenia has been hindered by the dominant patriarchal model as well as by political corruption. However, the Center for Gender and Leadership Studies was established not before 2013 within the University of Yerevan. Nevertheless, during the preparation and publication of this volume the first gender course was expected to be realized within the English Philology Department. In the meantime, due to the electronic correspondence with Professor Gasparyan from the Yerevan State University who has provided the important information, it is confirmed that the master course “Gender Linguistics” (discussing gender issues in the context of language use) was successfully established and conducted revealing high interest of the students and resulting in the initialization of another gender course entitled “Language, Gender, Communication”. The year of 2013 was a good one for Women’s and Gender Studies in Armenia.
The closure of the volume brings the final editor’s remarks entitled “Europe and Beyond”. Relying on the relevant previously conducted surveys and reports, Haas imports new information and statistics concerning some countries not being taken into consideration. Haas’s conclusion seems as an attempt of filling in the gaps, covering wider geographical spaces and encouraging scholars to engage along this line of study. The reader of this volume can detect the presented natural affinity between the English Studies and Gender Studies although the general summing-up is that the latter was developing inherently to the English Studies as an already institutionally grounded discipline. However, different case studies produced different results and conclusions, supported by the editor’s decision to divide the volume into the “geographic” chapters. Nevertheless, the crisscross of the English Studies and Gender Studies in Europe represents a developing interdisciplinary field, which is a conclusion that affirms the recentness of this volume even almost five years after its publication. In spite of the lack of the necessary comparative analysis of the surveys given, understandably missing due to the enormous scope of work and its pioneering aspect, the importance of the volume is multiple. According to Haas, the purpose of this volume, indicated by its title, lies in the attempt of reorientation and reconceptualization of the English Studies as well as of the European imaginaries (p. 424). The variety of Continental Women’s and Gender Studies is explored in the English Studies departments in particular but also in a broader context. The volume provides not only the tight connection between the Gender Studies and the English Studies as a kind of discipline of its own but also the national and ideological context as the realm of women’s rights and as well as gender research issues within the legal and institutional framework in different countries. The spectrum of diverse surveys showed that the usage of the term “feminist” even today should be rather tentative and precautionary. Haas’s snowball metaphor seems as an adequate mental picture of the volume: a lot of steps forward have been taken but still much more work has to be done so that we can contemplate the world as postfeminist.
 In the following review essay the terms “Gender Studies” and “Women’s and Gender Studies” will be used synonymously. The difference between these terms, which are no matter what inevitably related, will not be relevant.
 As noted in the conclusion, the first European survey for English was made by Martin Kayman covering twenty-nine countries but with modest resources and, as indicated by Kayman himself, with serious methodological problems.
 The authors of the particular national surveys are enlisted in the brackets next to the countries where the surveys were carried out.
 Women’s Studies Center in Belgrade has been publishing a journal “Women’s Studies” [Ženske studije] ever since later known as “Genero”. The journal featured many Anglo-American authors, either through translations or in critical essays.
 Haas notes in the conclusion that Serbia is one of the ten European countries where among the associate and full professors women constitute a majority (p. 414). It is also noted that University of Belgrade’s first English Department female chair-holder was Mary Stansfeld Popović in 1952.
 An interesting fact not provided by Serbian survey is that the first English grammar in Serbian was published in 1900 and was used as a course book in the Higher School for Girls in Belgrade [Viša ženska škola], the first school of its kind in Serbia signifying the start of the official high school education level of young women.
 It is worth knowing that one of the Faculty of Philology MA courses unambiguously combining English Studies and Women’s and Gender Studies and interpreting their existential mutual relevance is dedicated to the heritage and influence of Virginia Woolf’s essay “A Room of One’s Own” (1929). In addition, two doctoral courses offered at the Faculty of Philology in Belgrade represent the intersection of gender theory and the Anglophone cultures. The course entitled “Theories of Gender and Difference and Digital Humanities” is dedicated to the research of literature from the aspect of gender theory based on the Anglophone literary theory and focusing on the notions of sex, gender, literature and digital humanities. With its depictive title, the course “Bringing Theory, Activism and Cultural Practices Together: Feminist Press in Serbia in the 90s and 2000s“ scrutinizes the aspects and relationship between theory, activism, and cultural and art practices in the contemporary feminist press in Serbia as a transitional society.
 The information about gender courses at the University of Yerevan was kindly provided from Professor Seda Gasparyan, one of the authors of the Armenian survey, during August 2019 via electronic mail.
 The author of the Belgian survey ends her report by stating that the year of 2013 was a good one for women’s equality in Belgium.

Hi I have a crashed laptop and there are some files checked out on it.
How can I get those files check back in? Can I connect it's hard drive to another computer and access that hard drive to check files back in?
Have made changes to Checked out Files?.If yes,You will have to connect the hard drive to another comp.Conver the EPDM icon to a folder then try copying file out.
Yes you can - as long as the hard drive did not fail. I have had to do this quite a few times.
New Egg sells a deal that will power up your hard drive & let you plug it into the USB of a working machine.
I believe it is made by Rosewell.
If the laptop is fairly recent, then the disk is probably SATA.
You can connect the laptop's SATA disk to a SATA connector on a desktop computer.
Both the SATA power cable and the SATA data cable are identical on 2.5" and 3.5" disks
it requires you to open the case of the desktop cable and to play around with the cables a bit, but if you're not afraid of doing that, this is by far the easiest and fastest solution (and cheap too )
I'm sure you know this already, but if you can't recover from disk you can log in as Admin and release the checkout lock. Meaning any changes since checkout will be lost.
Thanks for all help.
I removed hard disk from laptop and connected it to the other computer through SATA connector. My problem was I could see the new disk but it will not allow me an access to it and gave me a message "this view is not connected to database". I was running out of time so called Dell on site and got motherboard replaced. Had laptop running again and checked back all files in.
Ravi: I think I could have saved more time if I had your suggestion. I hope I do not end up in this situation again but if I ever, then now I know what to do with it. Thanks a lot for the information.

Ask Max: Why do my batteries drain so fast?
Got a question for you- I am having some trouble with 2 different batteries- one that was a recent (3 months ago) purchase and one that was an Apple replacement. They both drain incredibly quickly even with all the power saving stuff I can think of (dimmed screen, all Internet apps off, no Bluetooth- in the time I have written this email it went from 28% to 16% and dropping) and they take incredibly long to recharge - like more than 8 hours to go from 1% to 100%. I am using a MacAlly power supply which I suspect might be the problem, as I found a Battery Utility especially for my Aluminum 15" but it wont run unless I'm plugged in to an Apple power supply which I no longer own. Any ideas? Was Apple sending out old bad batteries in the recall? I appreciate your thoughts.
Your suspicion about the charger is probably correct. When it comes to replacing the power adapter for your PowerBook or iBook, you have to pay special attention to the wattage. Many of the G3 iBooks and the Titanium PowerBooks use 45 watt power adapters. Although the adapter's plug is the same for newer iBooks and PowerBooks, those computers need a full 65 watt adapter. Most 45 watt power adapters will say that they work on iBooks and PowerBooks but their packaging is outdated. That might have been true when there was only 45 watt Apple portables, but new adapters are all 65 watts. For your computer, 45 watts will not provide enough juice to both power the computer and charge the battery. This is bad for the battery and can cause the power adapter to overheat, possibly breaking out in a ball of fire. For your PowerBook, you have to have a 65 Watt adapter and better yet you probably should get a Apple power adapter (Apple AC Adapter). Apple only makes 65 watt adapters now and they will work on 45 watt and 65 watt computers. Hope that fixes it but there could be additional battery damage that occurred from an under-powered adapter.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Fire and utility crews responded to a large gas line leak in southwest Minneapolis Tuesday morning.
The Minneapolis Fire Department said a gas line was breached near West Lake Street and Excelsior Boulevard. Centerpoint Energy said a third-party contractor ruptured the line.
Officials said West Lake Street will remain closed between Excelsior Boulevard and Drew Avenue until later Tuesday afternoon. The westbound lane will be reopened sometime in the afternoon, but the westbound lane will be closed for the next 12-24 hours.
Centerpoint has swept all businesses in area. They can now open back up. Traffic will be shutdown on Lake St. between Excelsior and Drew for the next hour or so. East bound lanes will remain closed for 12 hours or so.
— Minneapolis Fire (@MinneapolisFire) May 3, 2022
Xcel Energy was also at the scene to “assess and mitigate,” the fire department said. It also said Centerpoint had shut off gas to the breached main.
About 250 residents will have no gas or electricity for the next 12-24 hours, the fire department said.
An evacuation order issued earlier has since been lifted.
This is a developing story. Check back for more information.

book review: Narrative Theory and the Cognitive Sciences
Narrative Theory and the Cognitive Sciences.
The problem is this. We understand the world through narrative (allegedly). Complex systems are unnarratable (so it seems). Therefore, we literally cannot understand complex systems. Since most of today’s big problems are complex systems (climate, poverty, disease, what have you), this is a bit of a snag. A small group of us are working on a research programme called Narrating Complexity; this book provides some background reading for me from the narrative cognition side of the coin.
I haven’t read all of the book, only those chapters that seem immediately relevant to the Narrating Complexity programme (plus a fourth one, as the train was slower that I was expecting). But the chapters I have read are very good, and my ranking is based on these; the book is by no means “unfinishable” according to my classification, it is simply “unfinished”.
Abbott discusses why complex emergent systems may be unnarratable. Turner’s idea of blends compressing down to the human scale might give a hint towards a solution to this. Some system, rather than being a “mere heap”, is being conceptualised as an entity, albeit maybe not with an agency that we would recognise. Herman shows why we need to be able to do this. And Jahn provides the beginnings of a proto-computational model of how parts of the story formation may occur.
Mark Turner. Double-scope Stories.
Humans can recall or imagine stories that run counter to the events we are experiencing, and not get confused by this. We can take a story, and blend it with a real event, to provide new meaning. And we can take two distinct stories, possibly with clashing structures, and blend those, to get a new “double-scope” blended story with its own emergent structures, allowing us to generate novel ideas and concepts. We can continue doing this, until stories have many levels of blended complexity. One of the things such blending can do is compress expansive conceptual structures down to human scale, where we can grasp them. Turner dissects several examples, including: a scene from the 17th century French play Phèdre; a concept such as punishment that is derived from a blend; the Old English poem The Dream of the Rood that has many levels of blending; and even a children’s story that has several sequential blends, and may be thought of as teaching the concept of blending.
H. Porter Abbott. Unnarratable Knowledge: The Difficulty of Understanding Evolution by Natural Selection.
We understand the world through explanatory narratives of entities with agency. Parts of the world that do not have suitable structure are unnarratable, and hence are not easily understood. Evolution is one such process. Neither natural selection nor species have agency, nor are narrative entities. Such processes have two levels: the lower level of swarms of interacting individually-narratable individuals, and the higher level of emergent collective systems that are more than the sum of their individual parts, without narratable agency. Non-scientific forms of explanation, that specifically invent entities with the agency to guide or control the higher levels, have much greater narrative power, and so can find readier acceptance among the public. It may be that complex systems are fundamentally unnarratable: “There isn’t a story. It’s more like tending a garden, only you’re growing it with 10,000 other gardeners.”
David Herman. Stories as a Tool for Thinking.
Narrative can have many cognitive functions. It is a system for structuring patterns of events progressing through time: for structuring processes. It can be used to “chunk” experiences into “frames” of stereotypical experiences, then used to compare this typical against the actual. This helps us to understand the world more, and therefore have to memorise less. It allows us to generate and evaluate what-if scenarios. It allows us to draw coherent system boundaries: to extract and bound a relevant collection of participants, events, and structures from the overall stream of events we experience. By requiring a “beginning” and “middle” and an “ending”, it allows us to draw temporal system boundaries, and provides a resource for closure. It allows us to conceptualise causal relationships. And it provides a means for people to think together.
Manfred Jahn. Awake! Open your eyes! The Cognitive Logic of External and Internal Stories.
This chapter investigates the difference between external stories (a narrated tale) v internal stories (such as a dream or imagining). However, this apparently simple partition becomes fragmented on deeper investigation, as stories go through several stages of external and internal forms as they develop: they are narrated, heard, internalised, modified, re-narrated, and so on. This leads to a new cyclical model of stories, with a computational flavour.

Turkish Sampler Mitten Charts
8/30/13. I have updated the mitten tutorial and sent an update to all previous downloaders.
This is a mitten chart and tutorial for creating a women’s medium, lined, mitten or a men’s large, unlined, mitten. It uses traditional Turkish motifs. These mittens are knit with a heavy lace weight yarn because of the size of the motif.
The mitten tutorial describes how to use charts to knit custom fit mittens. The main PDF contains only the charts and reference materials for my Turkish Sampler Mittens. The tutorial is a second pdf file.
The central motif is a version of the dragon seen in a wide array of Turkish carpets and woven items. The smaller motifs are also discussed in detail within the pattern. These include a snake, single hook, double hook, apple, and an interlocking chain.
The dragon chart is a large rectangle, 43 stitches wide. In order to avoid a mitten that is huge, you need to use a heavy lace weight yarn.

It seems to be my week for riffing, which just goes to prove that you cannot create in a vacuum. The more sources of INPUT you have and are accessing, the more OUTPUT you are able to achieve without long stretches of ennui and writers block.
I ran across this post here regarding the new Prince of Persia film in the making: http://www.filmdailies.com/archives/prince-of-persia-workout/
Now, you know and I know that crossing media is a bit**. A hairy scary motherbit** that makes the goddess Kali look like one of those ladies in the ballet studio that Degas was so fond of painting. For decades the “superhero” genre movies were put out, one after another, all of which seemed woefully underbudget for the type of heroics that comic books were so fond of showing. As the artistic style and expectation of these comics has changed from the more advertising-based style of realistic body proportion in suits to the hyper-muscled demigods of today, the difficulty in bringing them to life in a form that would satisfy their core audience AND appeal to a broader filmic audience grew exponentially.
Game based movies have suffered a similar fate. Like comic and graphic novel properties, they live and breathe in the realm of the fantastic, a clever artist and writing team can pull stories out of the page that simply have not been reproducible in a “live action” format. They rely on the flexibility of their media to push the bounds of reality in ways that, without the budget to bring heavy-hitting VFX work in to play, you simply can’t replicate in film.
But now we have the big dogs stepping into the ring. The POP (Prince of Persia) franchise is venerable (for a game) fantastic, full of action and the kind of tittilating (non-bodice ripping) romance that goes hand in hand with fairy-tales and Fantastic Stories. The new movie has a reputable budget and a reputable team putting it together, so when it comes to spinning the roulette wheel on whether or not the film is going to make any money, someone’s gone and painted about 75% of the slots all red. The odds are going to be very good.
Is it going to be critically acclaimed? Not a chance. It’s going to be panned by the same groups that bagged on Avatar for it’s lack of story, the same people who hated 300 because it wasn’t historically accurate. At the end of the day POP is going to be an action movie. It’s a fantastic, Sinbad-style action/adventure story, heavy on the visuals, heavy on the style and movement and palette and the rich feel that the games have developed after a couple of decades of redos and evolutions. Its’ going to piss off a bunch of gamers, primarily because we each already have our favorite version of the “Prince” and already kick and scream about which version of the game is right or “better” and whether or not this version of the Prince has a bad accent or a bad haircut or too many muscles.
The thing is though, we gamers are a whiny, vociferous bunch. We talk smack even to our BFF’s while we’re teabagging them in Halo, we argue, we disagree, we all get on our soapboxes and critique what we love, what we hate, what WE would have done different. But we all LOVE games and its a rare rare thing that will pit a gamer against an IP so strongly that they will have nothing to do with it. POP is going to pull in the game audience as long as they don’t try to turn a fish into a fowl and make the movie into a chick-flick or something equally absurd (and lets face this, this is Bruckheimer, so the odds of *that* happening are slim to none) and they are going to pull in the literary crowd, fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, even the vampire-lovers are probably going to stop in to take a look (in part because there is a dearth of good material to serve these markets as quickly as we are capable of consuming it). They are going to pull in the old-school action lovers, the guys and gals who like Bond, who thought Zulu was one of the finest films ever made, and who watched *all* of Lawrence of Arabia twice and who still watch Chuck Norris movies when Spike plays them through.

Overwatch League A Game-Changer For Activision, E-Sports
(RTTNews) - The inaugural season of Activision Blizzard's (ATVI) Overwatch League kicked off on Wednesday, heralding a new era in eSports. The Overwatch League is a professional eSports league for the video game "Overwatch," developed by Blizzard Entertainment.
The Overwatch League, a big bet by Activision Blizzard on the rapidly growing eSports industry, is the first major global professional eSports league with city-based teams across Asia, Europe and North America.
It aims to follow the model of traditional North American professional sports leagues by using a set of permanent teams and regular season play, comparable to the NBA or NFL.
The competition is organized by cities. For the first season, twelve franchises are representing major cities around the globe.
All games of the inaugural season will take place at Blizzard Arena Los Angeles, a live-event venue in Burbank, California that has been custom-renovated for Blizzard Entertainment eSports events.
The first regular-season games started on Wednesday, with the Pacific Division teams facing off. San Francisco Shock took on Los Angeles Valiant, while Shanghai Dragons faced Los Angeles Gladiators, and Dallas Fuel locked horns with Seoul Dynasty.
The Atlantic Division teams will take the stage at the Blizzard Arena Los Angeles on Thursday. The first season of the Overwatch League will run until June, with playoffs and finals scheduled for July.
The games will be broadcast on Amazon's Twitch, in addition to OverwatchLeague.com, MLG.com, the MLG app, and the new Overwatch League companion app.
ZhanQi TV, NetEase CC, and Panda TV are expected to be the official broadcasting platforms of the Overwatch League in China.
Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard, told CNBC that while his company is seeing a lot of traction and enthusiasm from fans regarding the league, it may take a while to see its impact on the company's bottom line.

This month AT&T have revealed their first two 4G LTE devices, the Samsung Skyrocket and the HTC Vivid, the latter device being the one we’re having a look at here today. This device is the next step in the HTC smartphone design evolution, and as you’ll see in the video portion of the review below, it’s almost as if they asked someone on the 3D mockup crew to cut off all the edges and make something sharp! We’ve already got AT&T 4G LTE speed tests from one of the few areas AT&T has its LTE network deployed (in Texas,) now it’s time to see if the phone stands up to the pressure of the rest of the HTC family (and the rest of the AT&T family as well.)
This device is certainly part of this year’s HTC device design family, but hold it up next to any one of the other HTC smartphones released in the last 11 months and you’ll find yourself wondering if the crew is thinking about going in new directions. There’s flat edges! There’s a single flat metal slide-out panel on the back! It’s almost as if someone from Motorola came over and slid a few pages of their smartphone ethos into the HTC packet. That said, it’s a refreshing cut from the pack, and said panel does make the whole package feel extra high-quality.
I’m not entirely sold on diverging from the soft-plastic setup HTC devices have had throughout 2011 and continue to have on smartphones such as the recently revealed HTC Rezound. Of the devices you’ll see in the video review below, it’s the HTC Sensation that feels the most naturally confortable in the hand, while the HTC Vivid feels like a more stark set of panels made to look reduced and perhaps even bauhaus-esque. This device is made to look different, that’s for certain.
The device feels light but substantial enough that you won’t feel like it’s going to float away on you, and though its not nearly the thinnest device on the market, it’s certainly not fat either. On the front is a 4.5-inch S-LCD 540 x 960 pixel resolution display, this meaning you’ll have some awesome detail, this beating out the 480 x 800 Super AMOLED Plus 480 x 800 pixel resolution display on the Samsung Skyrocket (also a Galaxy S II device, mind you) in amount of pixels but not necessarily in brightness. Unless you’re holding both devices together, you’ll not notice the difference.
Hands-on Video Review
Inside you’ll find Android 2.3.4 out of the box and Sense 3.0, here having the ring unlock screen (with app shortcuts) and all the custom HTC-made widgets your heart desires. HTC for those of you that don’t know have one of the most lovely looking yet deeply integrated custom user interfaces of all the Android device manufacturers – this means two things: one, that you might not have Ice Cream Sandwich until later in the year 2012, and two, that you’ve got an interface that HTC created to work and function exactly as they intend. If you’ve never owned an Android device before, be sure to check out both an HTC device and a device made by a different manufacturer just to see the big difference.
Apps consist of your regular AT&T added apps and your HTC added apps which include several media-purchase libraries for things like full-length movies, and Google of course has their full range of apps like the Android Market, maps, and Gmail. Essentially what you’ve got here is an HTC device that’s not unlike the rest of the HTC devices that’ve been released recently, no real surprises.
The camera is pretty awesome. HTC has stepped up their game in recent devices and isn’t letting go of the idea that image quality in their on-board shooters is as important as any other element on the device. In the review video you’ll see how quickly the camera snaps a shot – less than a second by my reckoning. And have a peek at the results here and in the gallery below as well.
The battery on this device does not seem to be all that fantastic. Have a peek at the battery usage screenshot and note how we’re not doing all that fantastic for under 8 hours of usage, and it’s not from heavy use, I assure you. Note in the hands-on video looking at the battery as well, not looking too fantastic. NOTE that this is after having made no adjustments to the settings right out of the box.
The real bang for your buck in this device is that you’re getting an 8-megapixel camera with HTC’s camera software that has many different filters, scenes, and an ultra-quick tap-to-shoot speed, LTE connectivity (if you live in one of the few places in the USA where this network is deployed), and the unique physical form of the handset. This device is made to push AT&T’s new LTE network and is HTC’s first stab at AT&T’s new network, and like their first attempt at an LTE device for Verizon, they’ve created a smartphone that’s certainly up to the task of downloading media quick (again, if you’re in one of AT&T’s already deployed LTE areas), and working nicely with a dual-core processor.
If you want an LTE device on AT&T’s network that’s made by HTC, you’ve got one other choice, that being the HTC Jetstream tablet we had a look at a few weeks ago. If you want an LTE device on AT&T’s network that ISN’T HTC, you’ll be going with the Samsung Skyrocket, another device which you’ll be able to find a review of here on SlashGear immediately if not soon!


SAGE Millimeter’s SSD series of ranging sensor heads are ideal for applications involving traffic monitoring, true ranging radar, automatic production lines, and automotive radar systems.
A signal’s average power isn’t a sufficient enough control variable for modern day communications. It’s still an important parameter, but today’s signals typically require more diagnostic measurements. Bird’s 7022 is a statistical power sensor that uses statistical sampling techniques to measure the percentage of time the signal exists at a specific peak-to-average ratio.
KRYTAR offers Low Cost Power Meters in the following frequency bandwidths...
These speed sensor heads feature low harmonic emission, low flick noise, high sensitivity, CW and pulse mode operation, FCC part 15 compliance, and more. They’re available with various different antenna types, making them versatile for various applications.
The MA24118A power sensor is designed to provide accurate average power measurements from 10 MHz to 18 GHz over 60 dB of dynamic range. The sensor employs a "dual path" architecture that provides (similar to thermal sensor) True-RMS measurements over the entire frequency and dynamic range, enabling users to make highly accurate average power measurements for CW, multi-tone, and digitally modulated signal up to 18 GHz.

Powder boards are bloody terrific. When it’s steep and deep, there’s nothing better than to be on a specifically-shaped stick that takes a lot of the work out of riding, whilst simultaneously injecting a whole lot of fun.
Whether it’s short and stubby like the YES 420 or more traditional like the Jones Hovercraft, unusually-shaped boards can make even the best powder day that much better. If you’re in the market for one, check out our full reviews of the best snowboard shapes for 2015/16.
Of course, the best shape for park riding remains a true twin – or close to it – but try telling these guys that. Here are some of the finest examples of pro snowboarders taking their pow weapon to the park, and still being better than 99.9% of the planet.

It seems, at the moment, that we just have one disaster after another. First it was the Christchurch earthquake and now it’s the enormous one north of Tokyo in Japan.
Our new daughter in law, Yuki is still in Tokyo and many of our friends have called, or contacted, us to enquire about her safety. We very much appreciate their concern’s and thoughts.
Tokyo is over 300km from the epicentre of this earthquake and while there seems to be significant shaking, there is minimal damage. David was able to contact one of Yuki’s colleagues yesterday afternoon to find that she was well and that there was no damage to her work building. Later, he was able to make contact with her by phone and email to find thT she was having to walk to her home across to the other side of Tokyo.
As soon as an earthquake occurs in Japan, transport is automatically closed down and utilities (power and gas) are shut off to reduce the risk of fire. I guess that power is also reduced for the train system as much of Japan’s power generation is nuclear and when these power plants are shut down for safety reasons, it reduces the amount of power in the system anyway.
As an update, David is now expecting Yuki to be with him in Melbourne in mid April. We are looking forward to having her with us.
Once again, thanks to all our good friends for their concern. Our thoughts are with all our friends in Japan.
This video shows skyscrapers swaying in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo – where we have stayed on many of our previous visits. We are glad not to have been there at the time of this earthquake!

What is a Registered Dietician
A local registered dietitian has completed education and training to specialize in a wide variety of fields, including sport nutrition, gerontological nutrition, pediatric nutrition and renal nutrition. A local Registered Dietitian or she may work in private practice, in a nursing home, school, hospital or food service facility.
Food to Eat During Workouts
During exercise, there are several nutrition considerations. First of all, hydration is very important, and if you’re only exercising for one hour or less, hydration is the only thing you need to pay attention to.
If you’re entering into your workout without being fuelled, not having had your snack just before your workout, you may want to have a source of carbohydrates during your workout, and a sports beverage within your water bottle could be a good choice.
During exercise that’s lasting longer than one hour, you need to have a source of carbohydrates. The goal is 0.7 grams of carbohydrate per kilogram body weight. For the average person, this is about 30 to 60 grams of carbohydrates.
Fast carbohydrates, or foods with a high glycemic index, are important for high intensity workouts, or endurance workouts. Marathon runners, hockey players, or soccer players need to be thinking about a source of carbohydrates that is easy to digest. This could be raisins, a sports drink, fruit juices that are not too acidic, or refined grains that are lower in fibre, such as animal crackers, or Arrowroot cookies.
Lower intensity workouts, such as hiking, or golfing, would require snacks that would last a little bit longer. And you can consume them less frequently. They should be foods that are lower glycemic index and that will take a little bit longer to digest. Those could be foods like yogurt, chocolate milk, energy bars with protein in them, granola bars that have some nuts and dried fruit in them, or a trail mix.
For more information on how to fuel during exercise, contact your local Registered Dietitian or sports nutritionist.

JOSH McCONVILLE IS STEELING HIMSELF FOR ONE OF THE BIGGEST ACTING ROLES OF HIS CAREER: PLAYING THE LEAD IN BELL SHAKESPEARE’S HAMLET. WE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM JUST BEFORE HE STEPPED ON STAGE FOR THE FIRST PERFORMANCE.
How did you feel when you were first offered the part?
When I got the offer I was super excited to do it – but also scared. And I felt overwhelmed by the amount of work that was going to be required. It’s a part I’ve always wanted to play since school. I remember my drama teacher told me, “When you get older and reach the right age, you should definitely play Hamlet”.
How did you begin preparing for the role?
I sat and thought about what it must be like to lose your dad. The play begins with the loss of a father and the suppression of grief. And I know that if I lost my dad and was told to suppress my grief, while my mum went and married my uncle, it would shatter me. That’s where I started. I thought about the emotional journey Hamlet takes, and then imagined the story in my own words.
Did you seek advice from anyone?
I spoke to Ewan Leslie [who has played Hamlet twice] early on, when I was panicking! He said it’s very daunting looking at the script and not knowing all the lines. But he said, “Don’t worry, eventually it will all go in”. And he said that each Hamlet is unique, so don’t try to copy anyone; just do your own thing.
No wonder it’s daunting. The role of Hamlet has 1,495 lines! How do you learn them all?
I went in there knowing most of the soliloquies already, so that helped. Then you learn by repetition and movement. Gradually it all sinks in. But I have no other choice. I have to learn those lines – if I don’t, then I’m in deep trouble!
Speaking of lines, how do you plan to deliver “To be or not to be”?
I’m trying not to think about it being so well known. I really am just playing it for truth, as the words say in the script.
Hamlet has a way of getting under the skin (and into the head) of the actor playing him. How is the character affecting you so far?
In the rehearsal rooms it has been affecting me quite heavily. There’s all this emotion. The constant grieving and the flipping of emotions: from being a clown, to being utterly depressed, to being vengeful, to being ambitious. It does take a toll.
But rehearsing this play, I’ve learned something about myself as an actor. I’ve learned to just be naked on stage; to open up on cue; and play with people and language. I’m learning from Hamlet in this play. There are things I never knew about myself as a human being until now.
Playing Hamlet is not “just another acting part”, is it. When an audience comes to see Hamlet, they’re seeing the real person up there on stage.
Yes. Deep down it is you bringing the truth to the part. When you’re up there on the stage saying “To be or not to be” and it’s just you with the spotlight on you, it doesn’t really get any more vulnerable than that. Luckily that spotlight is bright so you can’t really see heaps of people out there! Still, it’s quite daunting.
What scares you about the role?
[Nervous laugh] The size of it! My voice. My physicality. My wellbeing. Everything! I’ve just got to really look after myself. I’ve got to get through the next six months of this tour. That’s the scary thing!
As we speak, it’s almost opening night. How are you feeling right now?
I’m okay [laughs sheepishly]. We’ve just been given all these props. The costumes have all arrived. There’s so much new stuff going into my head that it’s a little overwhelming; but then again, it’s just a play. I keep telling myself: I’m just an actor on a stage doing shapes and noises!
Why do you think people love this play so much?
It’s the best play ever written, in my opinion, and that’s one reason why we keep coming back to it. There’s so much range in the play; it explores so many different topics. And, if it’s done well, then it leaves a lasting impression on the audience. What you want in a play is for you to leave the theatre still asking yourself questions and Hamlet makes you do that. Yet there are no right or wrong answers; it is a constant struggle to decipher the play. That alone is very exciting.
Josh McConville stars in Hamlet at the Arts Centre Melbourne (14 – 25 July) then tours regional centres, before performing at the Canberra Theatre Centre (13 – 24 October) and Sydney Opera House (27 October – 6 December). Details at https://www.bellshakespeare.com.au/whats-on/hamlet/

Victoria's Islamic community has already been the target of threats after a young Muslim man attacked police.
Public commentary linking 18-year-old Numan Haider's actions to terrorism and the Islamic State group was premature, says Islamic Council of Victoria (ICV) secretary Ghaith Krayem.
A formal investigation into the police shooting would address this issue and, until then, such commentary was unfounded and would only increase resentment towards the Muslim community.
Mr Krayem said his organisation had already been targeted by threats.
"Since last night's events, we have received - at the council here - a number of communications ... contacts from people expressing views which I would find absolutely abhorrent," Mr Krayem told reporters today.
"Threats, language against the family of the young man, clearly there are - and I use this deliberately - extremists on all sides of the community."
In response to some media reports that the Narre Warren man had intended to behead the officers, Mr Krayem said what was confirmed was that Mr Haider was under surveillance but was not sought for arrest, and had agreed to attend the Endeavour Hills police station.
He met two officers in the police station car park and "something occurred".
"There is a legal process that he is entitled to and we insist takes place," Mr Krayem said.
"I refuse to condemn anybody who has not gone through that legal process, let alone somebody who is not here to defend themselves."
Mr Krayem also said he did not know Mr Haider, but many 18-year-olds were prone to doing ill-considered things that rebelled against authority.
"They can be brash, they can be immature .... None of those things make him a terrorist," he said.
Lebanese Muslim Association president Samier Dandan said there was a broader problem of some young Muslim men feeling isolated and disenfranchised and, in a period of heightened terrorism concerns, they could feel "profiled" by authorities as a risk.
"They do feel victimised in some sense," Mr Dandan said.
"(But) the psychology of why an 18-year-old would even go to a police station carrying some weapon with him is really very upsetting.
"Why would an 18-year-old, born and raised in Australia, get to that extent?"
The Victorian government, and police, said they would reach out to the Islamic community.
"There will be race tensions, there is no doubt about that," Victoria Police chief commissioner Ken Lay told reporters.
"It is absolutely critical that we give the faith communities in Victoria support and information, we allow them to share their concerns with us."

HG350 is an electric mini heat gun for a versatile application produced by SEEKONE. In this SEEKONE HG350 review, I will describe its main features and analyze the strong and weak sides of the product.
Features and specs
The SEEKONE heat gun is suitable for such spheres of application as soldering, air bubble removing, shrink wrapping, candle making, electronics repairing, defrosting, paint removing, etc. HG350 features a 3.0 Amp motor that allows the tool to reach the maximum temperature of 662℉ (350℃) within seconds. It is the only temperature setting of this heat gun.
One of the tool’s advantages is an ultra-long 4.9-ft cable that is necessary for crafting in large areas or away from the socket. I will also note that due to multiple heat vents, the heat will be efficiently dissipated to avoid overheating and extend the product’s life. Thanks to a retractable bracket made of plastic, you will also have a hands-free option with this 300-watts heat gun. This part of the tool folds up easily if some pressure is applied.
Design and materials
HG350 has a compact pencil-like shape and anti-slip handle for convenient application. Owing to its light weight of 13.7 ounces, the gun is convenient to carry everywhere and will not cause hand fatigue. The body of the heat gun is produced of top-notch impact-resistant PA6+30GF and is equipped with a nozzle safety shield for burn protection.
The kit includes the gun, a reflector nozzle, and a user manual.
In general, the SEEKONE HG350 heat gun is a powerful tool with an ergonomic design that is ideal for use in hard-to-reach places. Even though it has only one temperature setting, the gun is quite universal for completing most DIY projects. I wouldn’t say I liked the built-in plastic stand, which seemed to me not convenient enough. However, this small disadvantage (moreover, quite subjective) did not spoil the overall positive impression of this model.
- Watts: 350.
- Temperature settings: 662°F/350°C.
- Cord length, ft/cm: 4.9/149.
- Weight, lbs/g: 0.7/326.

ViPRR Wafer Carriers
Advanced Wafer Carrier Reduces Edge Exclusion and Improves Uniformity
The ViPRRTM wafer carrier features a Variable Input Pressure Retaining RingTM that precompresses the polish pad to reduce thick edge polish results common with standard retaining rings. The ViPRR precisely controls downforce through the retaining ring, providing advanced wafer processing features for planarization of devices implementing 90nm design rules and smaller. In short, the ViPRR carrier produces excellent uniformity, increases the usable surface area of the wafer , and reduces the edge exclusion zone to 3mm or less.
- The ViPRR is engineered to provide excellent results
- Reduced edge exclusion and superior uniformity are achieved by manufacturing the ViPRR from the highest quality materials:
- The top plate is constructed of tough, corrosion-resistant PPS plastic, providing reduced weight and increased compatibility with metal slurries
- ViPRR's ring material is a durable thermoplastic polyester that provides superior stiffness, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance and low center porosity
The ViPRR carrier uses a unique angular pick-up method to peel the wafer from the polish pad by pulling one side of the wafer up before the other. Angular pick-up aids in preventing "suction-cupping" of the wafer to the polish pad.
For ease of assembly and maintenance, many of the ViPRR carrier's components are engraved with indicating marks. Assembling the carrier properly is made easy by aligning the marks of each component with one another.
The ViPRR is available in 100, 125, 150, 200 and 300mm versions for use on the nTrepid®, nTegrity®, nHance® and nSpireTM chemical mechanical planarizers.

Villa Anna Elisa is located in the immediate vicinity of the Sanctuary of the Madonna delle Grazie in Bevagna, at about 385 meters above sea level and enjoys a breathtaking view over the olive groves and vineyards of the Southern Umbria Valley up to Mount Subasio.
The town of Bevagna is 3 km away; our other agritourism facilities and the oil mill are located within a radius of 500 meters.
Located in the center of Umbria, from Villa Anna Elisa it is possible to easily reach the main artistic cities and the wonderful villages of the Region; taking only two hours by car, Rome and Florence can be reached with extreme comfort.
The Villa was built with external facades of stone and exposed brick, the floor in the living area made of terracotta and the soft colors of the walls give the structure the typical charm of Umbrian farmhouses.
The living area develops on the ground floor with a large living room that opens onto the porch with the possibility of having meals even outdoors. A beautiful interior dining room, a bathroom and a fully equipped and semi-professional kitchen complete the floor.

Artists who signed the ‘Boston Arts for Black Lives’ letter last year weigh in on what’s changed—and what hasn’t—in the regional arts scene since then
The struggle for Black Tulsan survivors and their descendants to receive reparations has been a century-old controversy, one that is a pox on this country’s unwillingness to redress the human rights violation and generational loss of accumulated wealth.
While the world has been watching the trial of Derek Chauvin, the Brooklyn Center, MN police shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright Monday, April 12 during a traffic stop.
The group is asking that polices address the disparities the data has revealed.
Black Boston Reimagined, Reggae Sunday, and an Asian Lantern Spectacular!
“The gratuitous militarization of police forces across the United States facilitated by this program has helped to turn these agencies into brutal weapons of repression.”
A new coalition is urging the Commonwealth to prioritize racial equity in vaccine distribution, by investing in community outreach and engagement and increasing access for communities of color and low-income residents. Comments from state Rep. Liz Miranda, D-Boston.
DigBoston newspaper will resist any attempt to impose martial law on the US
Who’s moving the needle on racial justice? Who’s not?

The death ray has jumped off the pages of vintage sci-fi and has become a reality.
The U.S. Navy recently received a high-energy tactical laser weapon from defense contractor Lockheed Martin, New Atlas reported.
Called HELIOS – short for “high energy laser with integrated optical-dazzler and surveillance” – the new weapon has been compared to the “death ray” concept straight out of the world of science fiction.
The HELIOS can take out its target using only highly forced energy, without a solid projectile.
It’ll be used to destroy targets and counter unmanned drones and fast attack boats. The directed energy weapon can also dazzle optical sensors, and the reflected beam can gather long-range data for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.
In a press release, Lockheed Martin stated that HELIOS is the first tactical laser weapon system to be integrated into existing ships as “a key element of a layered defense architecture.”
A HELIOS beam fired at the speed of light costs about a dollar per shot, and ammunition is limited only by the amount of power available, according to New Atlas.
Rick Cordaro, Lockheed Martin’s vice president of advanced product solutions, said the contractor and “the U.S. Navy share a common vision and enthusiasm for developing and providing disruptive laser weapon systems.”
“HELIOS enhances the overall combat system effectiveness of the ship to deter future threats and provide additional protection for sailors, and we understand we must provide scalable solutions customized to the Navy’s priorities,” Cordaro said. “HELIOS represents a solid foundation for incremental delivery of robust and powerful laser weapon system capabilities.”
The U.S. Army is getting in on lasers, too.
That branch is set to field vehicle-mounted 50-kilowatt lasers designed to shoot down enemy drones, as well as engage and neutralize rockets, mortars and artillery. It also has plans to mount a 20-kilowatt laser on an infantry squad vehicle to protect smaller infantry units from emerging threats.

Saturday, 17 October 2020
Inter Milan face Milan in the first Derby della Madonnina of the season on Saturday in what promises to be an exciting clash in the biggest game of the season so far.
The historic clash will however be without its fair share of pomp and colour that have made it a must watch fixture. Due to Covid-19 restrictions and safety measures, only 1000 fans will be allowed at the San Siro to watch the greats of Italian football.
To see the game reduced to such will be a sad sight for millions of fans. The derby is usually more than a fixture. It is a rivalry par excellence despite them being overthrown off the top of the league in recent years by rampant Juventus.
On paper, Milan look the better of the two sides having started the leagues on a high with three straight wins against modest opposition to sit top of the Serie A table in its early days. They have also progressed to the next Europa League round albeit nervously against Portuguese side Rio Ave.
Few however consider Milan as true title contenders despite emerging as brilliant since football resumed after the lockdown in Italy.
The Nerazzurri on the other hand have been wracked by the virus with several key players missing out after testing positive including defender Ashley Young. The club is also sweating on the availability of Alessandro Bastoni, one of Antonio Conte’s defensive pillars, to be cleared to play.
Their preparations have further been thrown in disarray with late arrivals of their South American stars Alexis Sanchez, Lautaro Martinez and new arrival Arturo Vidal from international duty in the two week break.
Conte will however comfort themselves with the evergreen attacking duo of Romelu Lukaku and Martinez expected to find the net no matter what.
Inter have had two wins from two with a still perfect record. Conte was handed a major boost after Lukaku was reported to have recovered from a muscle injury.
The hosts have added to their midfield prowess with the acquisition of Arturo Vidal and the returns of Radja Nainggolan and Ivan Perisic who comes from a treble winning campaing at European champions Bayern Munich .
They also have on their flanks Achraf Hakimi, a much anticipated arrival from Real Madrid.
The visitors have talisman Zlatan Ibrahimovic on their ranks as he looks to compound misery on his former employer on the path to making it four straight victories. He recently became the oldest player in Serie A history to reach double figures of goals within 6 months.
The Rossoneri however have significant defensive issues at hand with Leo Duarte, Mateo Musacchio, Andrea Conti and Matteo Gabbia all expected to miss.
We expect to see a defence of Donnarumma, Calabria, Kjaer, Romagnoli and Hernandez to keep Lukaki and co at bay in this fiery derby.
Head to Head:
Inter have won 18 of 34 past meetings, losing 10 and drawing six.

School Corridor Lockers
School lockers need to be durable and also look good. Every school deserves to have pride in their space, and school corridor lockers are a large part of that. If your school corridors appear scuffed, with old faded ugly colors, contact us today for a quote on new ones.
With options like extra hooks, shelves and upgraded colors we can meet the needs of your school and your students. Students spend many years in the same school, walking down the same hallways, storing their things in the same space that they think of as their own. They decorate and personalize the inside, often it becomes more than just a place to drop their belongings, it becomes an expression of who they are. Having attractive, secure and durable lockers is important. Students, visitors and staff alike need to know that their property is protected once properly stored.

By Cassie Brusch – Project Consultant
Over the course of the 2000s, we have often been encouraged to use Person-First Language when speaking about individuals with disabilities. More recently, Identity-First Language has been introduced. As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of what is seen as inclusive, let’s unpack these terms a little more.
In Person-First Language, we put the person before their disability or diagnosis. This shows that the person is separate from their disability. Identify-First Language acknowledges the disability, which shows that it is an integral part of who the person is. It takes into account that their disability or diagnosis identifies the person as part of the community, culture, and history associated with that disability. Language matters; it is a personal choice for each individual as to their preference. It is inappropriate to refer to someone as their mobility equipment. A person is a person, not a machine, and it is demeaning to refer to them otherwise.
Person-First Language is rooted in advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The People-First movement started in the 1970s, which was a movement to focus on personhood and individuality rather than on disability. This language reinforces that people with disabilities are human and deserve to be respected. Typically, medical conditions and mood disorders use Person-First Language, such as a student with diabetes or a person with epilepsy. Since this movement, there has been legislation passed that has protected the rights of people with disabilities. Additionally, there has been a decrease in the institutionalization of people with disabilities.
Why the switch away from Person-First Language? While meant to help society see individuals with disabilities as a person and not their disability, it can sometimes link disabilities to a disease. This connection between disabilities and disease can support the notion that if the disability is a disease, then there should be a cure. Disabilities are not contagious and people do not need to be cured of their disabilities.
Identity-First Language honors the person at the conscious level, it gets to the heart of who the person is and how they identify. This has arisen out of the Disability Pride movement, which affirms that a disability is nothing to be ashamed of and that a person’s disability shapes their life. The use of identity first in the language respects that the person is part of the broader community and culture with people who have that disability. Individuals with Autism as well as those in the Deaf Blind community often feel very connected to their disability and do not see it as a deficit or something needed to be cured. Using Identity-First Language shows that the person is valued for how they identify and not just by disability, hair color, gender, and so on.
Deciding which type of language to use can feel overwhelming. As previously stated, it is a personal choice for people in the disability community. If you’re not sure, just ask If the individual isn’t sure how they want to identify, or you’re not sure what to do, it’s fine to use Person First Language.

Picks and Pans Review: The Rolling Stones
It's not for the casual fan—not everybody, after all, really needs three cuts of Sympathy for the Devil-but this 11-disc, $250 set would make a peachy Christmas present for Stones devotees. It contains the group's first 10 releases, from The Rolling Stones (1964) through Hot Rocks (1971), all rerecorded using the original masters and sophisticated new recording techniques. The resultant sound quality is distinctly more detailed, sharper and fuller, though the difference between these records and the originals is still a subtle one, less night and day than night and twilight. The old LPs are still all in print, and cheaper, though not easy to find. In any case it is fun to hear the blues and rockabilly influences in the early Stones records and such classic moments as the Keith Richards and Brian Jones guitar solos on the live, Madison Square Garden version of Sympathy, from the Get Yer Ya-Yas Out LP. Many of these tracks have held up amazingly well over the 20 or so years since they were first recorded. (Mobile Fidelity)

Shakespeare Club learns through theater games
The Fredonia Shakespeare Club met recently for its eighth regular meeting of the 2013-2014 year at the home of Ms. Rosie Sanden. Club President Mrs. Robert Woodbury presided.
In conformance with the theme for the year “Creativity & the Spark of Genius,” Ms. Joyce Haines presented her paper. Her paper “Creativity and Theater” emphasized improvisation and Method acting from her own experiences and resources of information on theater games developed by Viola Spolin and affective memories stressed in Method acting by Lee Strasberg.
Strasberg encourages actors to use their five senses to fix memory for use on stage. Haines cited her own past involvement with the Dunkirk/Fredonia Players and summers spent at the Playground Drama day camp at SUNY Fredonia. Each summer, over one hundred children ages 8 to 17 produce amazing musical productions in less than a week.
Members also enjoyed audience participation to exemplify creativity by playing theater games.
After Haines finished the presentation of her paper, club members requested and enjoyed two brief performances of her classic character, Granny Smith, familiar to local residents and visitors to the area.
Ms. Rosie Sanden was assisted at the tea table by Mrs. William Larson.
At the next meeting of the club, to be held at the home of Mrs. John VanScoter, Mrs. Julian McQuiston will present her paper entitled “Creativity on a Small Scale, but No Less Important.”


You might have driven by the blue building at 414 N. Jackson and noticed the peeling paint and crumbling exposed brick in some areas.
Who would own such a blighted looking place and why is it allowed to look like that considering the cities efforts to fight blight?
The City of Jackson owns the building and it is supposedly a business incubator. I am sure it really impresses representatives of businesses looking to possibly relocate in Jackson. I have repeatedly brought this blight condition to the attention of city officials and the mayor without results. Lets see if this works.
Just a few blocks away is the brick portion of Mechanic Street. which heaved a few years ago after an expensive reconstruction effort failed.
The 2013/2014 city budget contains $80,000 to "repair" the brick on Mechanic Street again. The council should reallocate the $80,000 to eliminate the blight at 414 N. Jackson with a coat of paint and some brick repair.
Since it is a business incubator, wouldn't it be a real improvement and welcoming to cover the walls of the building with murals depicting manufacturing scenes? Not quite Diego Rivera but something really neat?
There enough artists in Jackson that might volunteer for this task, especially street artists who now lend their graffiti to buildings. These folks might be redirected with the incentive of a signed mural for all to see.
