An Ariel liquid detergent bottle with an "18"on it sits Friday in Berlin. Detergent manufacturer Procter & Gamble has kicked up a froth in Germany after unintentionally placing a neo-Nazi code on promotional packages for Ariel washing powder. The use of Nazi slogans in public is banned in Germany, which neo-Nazis often try to circumvent by using codes. '18' stands for Adolf Hitler.

Silverlight for mobile: what's in, what's out
Microsoft has scheduled the first quarter of 2009 for the first code drop of Silverlight for mobile devices. And while Silverlight for mobile will be missing some elements in the desktop that have people excited, Microsoft's working to pack in other features increasingly considered standard in the demanding world of mobile …
Wait Just a Rootin Tootin Minute.
So you'll be able to zoom in infinitely on the crappy unfocused pics you took on your camera phone in the pub last night, but not be able to access more useful features like a calendar?
Way to go.
That has to be about the worst acronym M$ could have chosen: every acronym-droid and their chihuahua have used it already but, hey, why not add to the confusion.
On second thoughts, Chronic Testicular Pain seems oddly appropriate.
Drop the misuse
c/scripting languages/languages/
I'm just about fed up of the misuse of the term and mischaracterisation of various languages in this way. If this is the only argument that people in their "nyah nyah my language is better than yours because" playground games have, then they really need to grow up.
Yes, I know why people say this. Yes it's off-topic. Cue the abusers.
Fragementation on Java
Has not happened because SUN did want it to happen. Want to have your runtime built in in a mobile? Ask the manufacturer. Of course, if the phone has any special features that make it special, different or simply better than the competition, the phone manufacturer will want you to have an API to take advantage of them. If not, you can take your runtime elsewhere, thank you.
In as much as MS is used to blackmail hardware manufacturers, this will not work with the mobile phone ones. They've learned the lesson from PC/PDAs, and know for sure that if they buy into the MS runtime all their phones will look and behave the same in the long term, andit will be MS who will determine the specs of the new generation phones.
Sorry, Microsoft, unless you make it both free (no fees) and open (source code available, anyone can modify it) no mobile manufacturer is going to take you seriously.
4MB my arse
No, the user will never see 4MB because it will be pre-installed. But there will be 1MB of security patches every week, service pack 1 will be a 6MB download, and version 3.0 which actually includes working basic functionality will have ballooned to 24MB.
re: fragmentation
Some good points, but I disagree about needing it to be open-source. Microsoft's strengths lie in having an open _platform_ (ie making it easy for people to use and add stuff on*) which is all that's necessary.
If nokia, for example want an API for nokia-specific stuff, they should be able to do that without needing source code access.
* if you think about it, a lot of improvements MS has made recently involve it taking back control of things rather than letting third-party programs alter them if they want to.
die Silverlight, die
Please please let Silverlight and mobile Flash die. Please let us just use open standards for the mobile web. We've only just fought clear of Microsoft's embrace extend smother hijacking of Web 1.0 on the desktop.
For now it looks like being Apple and Google pursuing open standards versus Microsoft and Adobe rebuilding the bad old days in the mobile space.
Apple pursuing open standards? Good joke! No ODF support, NFS mounts on mac are a hell to setup, iChat can't be more closed.. I don't see any interest in open standards anywhere..
@Martin Gregorie
CTP stands for Community Technology Preview, and is a term applied to pre-beta productions that are released for preview.
@Mr Wurst
I was not claiming that Apple does not mainly offer its own software in proprietary form, but regretting the apparent hope of Adobe and Microsoft to balkanise and pollute the intrinsically open _web_ with Flash and Silverlight alternatives to standards compliant web 2.0. Apple does not attempt to interfere with the use of open standards by corrupting them or supplanting them. They don't have Microsoft's market share or Adobe's hold over content creation to be able to do that.
Apple's strategy for survival as a minority platform includes strongly resisting the encroaching of proprietary cross-platform infrastructure attempting to replace open standards. For example by compelling iPhone web apps not to use Flash, and presumably, when the time comes, not to use SIlverlight.
Clarifying DLR support
Is correct that Silverlight for Mobile does not support the DLR today, since the Reflection.Emit namespace is not in the .NET Compact Framework. However, I'm making changes to the Silverlight integration for IronRuby and IronPython to let them run in interpreted-mode, which will not depend on Reflection.Emit. Once that happens then applications that run in interpreted mode can run on Silverlight Mobile. This will be in the next release on http://codeplex.com/sdlsdk.

This is the almost official talk on Adobe Captivate 4. For the past few months, I have been busy documenting the new features for this release, re-hauling the previous content, and generally trying to assuage all those people who have been wanting better content in the Help. When the product is out, I am hoping that most of those complaints about content will be addressed. If not, you can always tell me areas that need improvement. And with our new help system, you will not have to wait for the next release to see your comments addressed. The actual time might vary depending on the severity of the complaint, but I am hoping that I will get the corrections updated in a month's time at the latest.

Special Use Permits
Special uses are short-term activities in the park that benefit an individual, group or organization, rather than the public at large. The National Park Service may permit a special use if it will not harm the park's resources or values, visitor experiences, or is in conflict with the purpose for which the park was established.
Special uses require a permit. Primary consideration will be given to potential resource damage and to anticipated disruption of normal public use. Park staff will help ensure that your event runs smoothly and without interfering with park operations, resource protection, or the public's enjoyment of the park.
For more information about special use permits, contact the Chief of Interpretation at (620) 273-6034. Permit applications, certificates of insurance, and correspondence may be faxed to (620) 273-6099.
Special events, group gatherings, First Amendment activities, and weddings
Sporting events, festivals, concerts, weddings, cultural programs, First Amendment activities, and group gatherings for social or community events are examples of special uses that require permits.
All weddings and ceremonies require permits, regardless of the group size. Weddings at the preserve are authorized at the Lower Fox Creek Schoolhouse, as it was once a community building and a wedding could have conceivably been performed. To preserve the building, a set of rules (including maximum participants) has been established for resource protection.

Agreed, okay so I take back what I posted earlier "FUCK UFC" it's more like fuck the fans that act like they are the greatest combat sport in the world and are taking over all sports its those kind of fans that piss me off. Yes UFC is gaining popularity in the states at an alarmingly fast pace and boxing has fallen out of the mainstream public eye ever since the mid to late 90's when Mike Tyson was fading away from the sport. Boxing is still the worlds #1 combat sport second to none, look at it as soccer is to american football. Soccer worldwide popularity, Footbal america only (although it has fan base in other countries just not as big). So with that feel free to discuss all you want about all things boxing er mma. *light up a smoke
For the record I do like MMA... but ... World Class Boxing> MMA every single time!!!!

INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana businesses, residents and certain nonprofits in 19 counties recovering from the November tornado outbreak can receive low-interest federal disaster loans.
Gov. Mike Pence announced Wednesday that the U.S. Small Business Administration had approved the loans. Word of the loans comes after the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied Indiana's appeal seeking federal aid for Boone, Daviess, Fountain, Grant, Howard and Tippecanoe counties, the areas hit hardest by the Nov. 17 tornadoes.
Disaster loan outreach centers will be established in Daviess, Fountain and Howard counties. Loan applications are available at the centers or online at http://www.sba.gov/.
The deadline to file applications for relief from damage to personal or business property is April 7. Applications for loans to assist with financial damages are due Nov. 5.

Photos and Description of this 4 bedroom holiday home in Miller Beach
House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths, (Sleeps 10-14)
Our home away from home provides you with all the conveniences necessary to drop everything and not have to worry about packing anything but food and clothing! Our home has two well equipped kitchens making it ideal for multiple families to stay together.
Our home is located just a short walk from the beach on a triple lot and built into a wooded dune providing plenty of privacy.
Keywords: House, Lake Michigan, Indiana Dunes
- Suitability:
- Long-term Renters Welcome
- Minimum Age Limit for Renters
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
About The Owner
We have a large active family that likes to play volleyball, go tubing, hike the dunes and trails with our dogs and to enjoy the outdoors. Our favorite time of year is in the winter when the ice forms large caves on the shoreline and of course in the summer when we can have lots of friends visit. The kids busy sports schedule has cut our available time at the house considerably making renting it out a good option. We hope renters find our house clean, clean, clean, comfortable and affordable. Most of our renters come back year after year - thats the way we like it.
Why The Owner chose Miller Beach
Miller Beach and the Indiana Dunes National Lake Shore offer the prettiest beach and hiking trails in the Chicago area. It is also close enough to visit for just a few hours or a day and not feel like the ride isn't worth it. When the kids were younger and not so busy with sports we could come in the summer for a week and my husband would easily commute to Chicago on the train and be back on the beach for cocktail hour. We bought this house knowing we could easily host two other families for fun weekend get togethers.
What makes this house unique
We chose this location because of it's heavily wooded large lots - the houses are far apart, unlike the houses down on the beach, and you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Netherlandish Art in its Global Context / De mondiale context van Nederlandse kunst
Netherlands Yearbook for History of Art / Nederlands Kunsthistorisch Jaarboek, Vol. 66
Netherlandish art testifies in various ways to the increased interconnectivity of the Early Modern world. The Low Countries were an essential node during "First Globalization": Antwerp and Amsterdam became global capitals while the "world's first multinational", the Dutch East India Company, heralded the age of classical capitalism. Fortuitous factors, including successful mercantile logistics, the geographical reach of the Jesuit mission, and the thriving publishing and translation industry made the area a crucible of cultural exchange. Everyday lives changed as foreign luxuries, and local copies, became widely available. Eventually, Dutch imitations of Chinese porcelain found their way to colonists in Surinam. Not only were these objects implicit or explicit repositories of knowledge, carriers of ideas unto which new expectations were projected; the Netherlands also engendered a worldwide public for prints and a surplus of migrant artists. The Low Countries, as a contested fringe area of the Habsburg Empire marked by internal fault lines, demonstrated a unique intellectual flexibility and creative productivity in the first period of intensive artistic exchange between Europe and the rest of the world.
Outside rare products such as Joost van den Vondel's dramatization of the fall of the Ming dynasty, literary reflections on this new interconnectivity were remarkably scarce. The visual arts are by comparison eloquent testimony to the global dimension of Netherlandish commerce and culture: from paintings depicting exotica to new iconography directed at global proselytization. Some painters seem to have realized this. When Samuel van Hoogstraten, in Introduction to the Academy of Painting (1678), sought to defend the Netherlandish school in comparison to Italy and the ancients, he highlighted its domain as the "entire visible world" and extended his analysis to East Asia and the Americas. He praised Rembrandt's The Preaching of Saint John (Berlin, Gemäldegalerie) for the international audience it depicted, including an American Indian and a Japanese samurai.
Recent exhibitions have addressed the "Asian" dimension of Netherlandish art. The Rijksmuseum explored the meeting between East and West in De Nederlandse ontmoeting met Azie (2002). The Getty Museum's Looking East: Rubens' s Encounter with Asia (2013), and Asia in Amsterdam (2015, Rijksmuseum / Peabody Essex Museum) focus on the way the East was perceived in Western eyes. The Victoria & Albert Museum examined the question of style with Baroque 1620–1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence (2009).
Scholars are increasingly embracing a worldwide approach and individual case studies have addressed Netherlandish art. Two of the first collective efforts appeared in 2014. Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia (Kaufmann & North) focuses on the impact of Dutch art, from Persia to Indonesia; Chinese and Japanese Porcelains for the Dutch Golden Age (Van Campen & Eliëns) highlights the unique role of Chinese and Japanese ceramics in Dutch cultural history. Yet an integrated analysis of Netherlandish art from the perspective of global history has not yet been undertaken. Scholars hesitate to re-introduce universalist terms such as "Baroque" or to project back unto the Early Modern situation recent notions of cultural hybridity, imperialism, consumer capitalism, and globalisation.
The next volume of the NKJ intends to explore further the global dimension of Netherlandish art. Contributions are invited which do more than stretch geographical boundaries. In many cases, the trajectory of images of and from the foreign involved "cross-mediality": being, for instance, first published in print before returning in the applied arts and architecture. The point of origin demands interest, but also the reappropriation in Dutch or Flemish contexts. The editors welcome contributions on the various arts and crafts—including paintings, sculpture, architecture, prints, ceramics, furniture, maps, and models—and their interrelations.
The editors expect not only to bring new case-studies into the discussion but also to contribute to conceptual clarity and directions for future research. What is more, they hope that the comparative approach suggested by global history will put to the test accepted terms of periodization in art history such as "Early Modern". Themes that may play a role are, amongst others, global versus local; the agency of material culture; imagology; cultural hybridity; network analysis; and the relinquishment of Eurocentric approaches. In addition, contributions may address the growing role of countries outside the West in collecting and studying Netherlandish art in the twenty-first century.
The NKJ is dedicated to a particular theme each year and publishes articles that employ a diversity of approaches to the study of Netherlandish art. For more information, see http://www.brill.com/news/brill-acquires-prestigious-netherlands-yearbook-history-art-nkj

Playthings in Early Modernity: Party Games, Word Games, Mind Games
Contributions are sought for an interdisciplinary collection of essays to be edited by Allison Levy and published by Ashgate Publishing Co. in the new book series, Cultures of Play, 1300-1700 (see http://www.ashgate.com/default.aspx?page=5166; series editor Bret Rothstein). Dedicated to early modern playfulness, this series serves two purposes. First, it recounts the history of wit, humor, and games, from jokes and sermons, for instance, to backgammon and blind man's buff. Second, in addressing its topic – ludic culture – broadly, Cultures of Play also provides a forum for reconceptualizing the play elements of early modern economic, political, religious, and social life.
Within this framework, Playthings in Early Modernity: Party Games, Word Games, Mind Games emphasizes the rules of the game(s) as well as the breaking of those rules: playmates and game changers, teammates and tricksters, matchmakers and deal breakers, gamblers and grifters, scripts and ventriloquism, charades and masquerades, game pieces and pawns. Thus, a 'plaything' is understood as both an object and a person, and play, in early modern Europe (1300-1700), is treated not merely as a pastime, a leisurely pursuit, but also as a pivotal part of daily life, a strategic psychosocial endeavor: Why do we play games – with and upon each other as well as ourselves? Who are the winners, and who are the losers? Desirable essays will also consider the spaces of play: from the stage to the street, from the pulpit to the piazza, from the bedroom to the brothel: What happens when players go 'out of bounds,' or when games go 'too far'? We seek new and innovative scholarship at the nexus of material culture/the study of objects, performance studies, and game theory. We welcome proposals from a wide range of disciplines, including gender studies, childhood studies, history, languages and literature, theater history, religious studies, the history and philosophy of science, philosophy, psychology, and the history of art and visual culture.
Playthings in Early Modernity: Party Games, Word Games, Mind Games will be an illustrated volume, with individual contributors responsible for any permission and/or art acquisition fees. Final essays, of approximately 8,000 words (incl. notes), and all accompanying b&w illustrations/permissions will be due no later than January 15, 2015. For consideration, please send an abstract (max. 500 words), a preliminary list of illustrations (if applicable), and a CV to Allison Levy (firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com) by September 15, 2014. Notifications will be emailed by the end of September.
Artists on the Move. Sculptors from the Low Countries in Europe 1450-1650
The Low Countries are by no means generally considered to be the motherland of sculpture. However, at close sight it can be noticed that Early Modern
sculptors from the Northern and Southern Netherlands contributed considerably to the development of European sculpture, especially in the period
between 1550 and 1650. The most important works, though, are to be found outside the Low Countries, which seems to be one of the reasons why they have
seldom attracted scholarly attention so far. The marked mobility of Netherlandish sculptors of the 16th and 17th centuries was one of the most
important reasons for their success and their impact on the artistic development of their time. Most of them travelled far from their homelands and
worked in various countries and regions from Sweden to Spain, and from England to nowadays Ukraine. And of course, a large number of these sculptors
visited Rome, the Mekka of sculpture study in the Early Modern Era.
The diaspora of Netherlandish sculptors in the mentioned time span has not yet been systematically explored. The research project is about to dedicate
itself to this challenge. As a starting point of further investigation we envisage to set up a database, the aim of which will be to collect and
systematise biographical, geographical and chronological data of the migrating sculptors. For this purpose the documentation system of the Rijksbureau
voor Kunsthistorische Documentatie (RKD) in The Hague will be employed and adjusted to the specific needs of the project with the help of experts at
the University of Wroclaw. This kind of documentation will be instrumental in the cognition and analysis of structures and patterns within artist's
migration and careers and could result in a 'collective biography'. It is expected that by taking the perspective of the artist's mobility as a
starting point, a new light could be thrown on the stylistic development of European sculpture and a new chapter could be added to the historiography
of artistic relations between the Low Countries and the rest of Europe.

Bruges - Ghent
Extended deadline for applications to the Summer Course for the Study of the Arts in Flanders - The Age of van Eyck in Context (June 21 - July 1, 2015)
The deadline for applications to the Summer Course for the study of the Arts in Flanders has been extended through November 17, 2014. Through that date MA- or PhD students may apply for this intensive 10-day course and have the possibility to apply for several grants. By extending the deadline the organisation of the Summer Course would like to give more students the possibility to apply.
The summer course strives to bring to Flanders, annually, a select group of 18 national and international, highly qualified young researchers. They will be presented with an intensive 10-day program of lectures, discussions, and visits related to the specific course theme within Flemish art. This theme will vary annually and will focus each year on a different art-historical period. The aim is to provide the participants with a clear insight into the Flemish art collections from the period at hand, as well as into the available and most suited research methods, the state of the research and the research needs. We encourage active participation from the participants, and therefore the discussion following each lecture will form an essential part of the program.
The first edition of the summer course titled The Age of van Eyck in context will take place from June 21 through July 1 2015. Its content is coordinated by the Groeninge Museum and the Flemish Research Centre for the arts in the Burgundian Netherlands. The programme will take place in Bruges, Ghent and Brussels. The language of the summer course will be English.
Participation fee and grants
Thanks to the generous support of the Flemish Government the participation fee of the Summer Course is fixed at €900 per person. The fee includes accommodation, most meals, all transportation within the programme. To facilitate students with limited financial means the organisation of the Summer Course for the Study of the Arts in Flanders together with the Flemish Government has made available two grants of €450 each. These grants will be awarded (preferably) to one European and one non-European applicant of the Summer Course. The recipients of the grant will pay a reduced participation fee of €450 instead of the regular fee.
Thanks to the generous support of the Samuel H. Kress Foundation's History of Art Grants Program two US students and citizens are offered a grant that will fully cover the programme fee and round trip flights between Belgium and the US. In addition to a resume and letter of motivation required for general applications, candidates for the grants are asked to send a one page statement explaining their financial need and a letter of recommendation from a faculty member. Applicants will be informed of the outcome of the selection process in early December.
Participants have a master's degree or are PhD-student, are specialised in 15th century art form the Burgundian Netherlands, and are at the start of their professional career. Apply now through November 17, 2014. Mail your curriculum vitae, letter of motivation, and (if applicable) your application form for a grant to: email@example.com

Mellon MA History of Art Courtauld Institute of Art
Visualizing Knowledge in the Early Modern Netherlands, c. 1550-1730
Taught by Prof Joanna Woodall and Dr Eric Jorink
The Southern Netherlands and later the Dutch Republic were not only famous for their art production, but at the centre of the fundamental reconfigurations of knowledge that took place in Europe during the early modern period. Cities such as Antwerp, Leiden and later Amsterdam were 'hubs' attracting merchants, printers, artists and scholars from all over Europe. Old as well as new models for knowledge were not only debated but also made visible and even made tactile. Moreover, it was in the Dutch Republic that the revolutionary philosophy of René Descartes was conceived and first published. This course will be particularly concerned with the role of visuality and visual materials in these exciting developments.
We shall explore, throughout the course, the fascinating questions of what knowledge was in the early modern period, and how its foundations were shifting. While some artists were engaged in representing the Garden of Eden, the Ark or the Temple on paper and canvas or in wood as a model of knowledge, others became fascinated by the influx of unknown information for the East and West Indies and other parts of the world. Illustrations – schemes, abstractions, or images done after life – played an increasing role in the debate about the New Philosophy. Rembrandt's Anatomy lesson of Dr Tulp was one of the many paintings in which knowledge was questioned and constructed, as were Vermeer's Cartographer and Astronomer. Cabinets of curiosities – by far the richest in Europe – were productive sites of knowledge, where words and things were connected, often displaying previously unknown naturalia and artificialia. Another major theme will be the changing relationship between visual materials and the authority with which they were invested. Rather than separating 'works of art' from 'scientific' illustrations and materials, the course will encompass paintings, drawings and prints by canonical artists alongside, for example, the illustrations to Descartes' Discours, original drawings by Maria Sibylla Merian and even anatomical preparations.
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation MAs are Options in which a visiting scholar from another discipline enters into dialogue with a member of the faculty at the Courtauld Institute. They are offered for only one year. Dr. Eric Jorink is an expert on Dutch scientific culture of the early modern era. He is Researcher at the Huygens Institute for Netherlands History (Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences) in The Hague and the author of Reading the Book of Nature in the Dutch Golden Age, 1575-1715 (Brill 2010; reviewed in this issue of the Newsletter).
Students with a background in art history, history and/or the history of science and ideas are particularly encouraged to apply for this Option. Knowledge of Dutch or a Germanic language, whilst not essential, would be an advantage.
We are accepting applications to this MA Special Option on a rolling basis.

New Book Series from Ashgate
Monographs in Art Historiography
Series Editor: Richard Woodfield, University of Birmingham
The aim of this series is to support and promote the study of the history and practice of art historical writing focussing on its institutional and conceptual foundations, from the past to the present day in all areas and all periods. Besides addressing the major innovators of the past it also encourages re-thinking ways in which the subject may be written in the future. It ignores the disciplinary boundaries imposed by the Anglophone expression 'art history' and allows and encourages the full range of enquiry that encompasses the visual arts in its broadest sense as well as topics falling within archaeology, anthropology, ethnography and other specialist disciplines and approaches. It welcomes contributions from young and established scholars and is aimed at building an expanded audience for what has hitherto been a much specialised topic of investigation. It complements the work of the Journal of Art Historiography.
Proposals should take the form of either
1) a preliminary letter of inquiry, briefly describing the project; or
2) a formal prospectus including: abstract, table of contents, sample chapter, estimate of length (in words, not pages), estimate of the number and type of illustrations to be included, and a c.v.
Please send a copy of either type of proposal to both the series editor and to the publisher:
Professor Richard Woodfield
Editor of the Journal of Art Historiography

Valve shows Linux love with SteamOS for gamers
Good old days.
"Consoles seem to be most favoured by younger players and casual gamers who are not really interested in PCs ( regardless of OS ), and just want something to work easily. Unfortunately, those same gamers also don't tend to care much for complex gameplay either, which has lead to most console-ported games getting simpler. I would hope that SteamOS consoles don't accentuate that trend."
Ah yes, the good old days when adventure games required you to remember a maze or create a map in a notebook next to your computer. Not like modern games where all dungeons are automapped and are only a straight line with no alternative route anyway. Also very basic puzzles confined to the room that you're currently in. (Looking at you Skyrim)
Re: @DRendar
"One of the only reasons I haven't gone full Linux is the lack of mainstream games (mostly my absurdly large steam library of which I've played maybe 10% of the games) so this to me might be what is needed to finally ditch the bloated beast for good."

Asperger's and IT
Re: Asperger Syndrome diagnosis ..
Of course it did. Dr Asperger investigated groups of children who behaved differently and found a common group of behaviour: Social anxiety, lower empathy that expected, clumsiness (which I think isn't actually a symptom) and high focus to the point of obsession.
Once he identified these traits, he defined "Asperger's syndrome" and published it in a medical journal.
Did the common cold exist before language was invented so that people could say "I have a cold!"?

Re: Real-lifers
My wife and I have god-kids with autism that makes Rain Man look normal. As a result of working with them (to give their mum a rest twice a week) for the last 14 years and getting more and more interested in the topic, she's become quite a highly trained special needs teacher and works with all kinds of people on the autism spectrum (Aspergers being a severe sub-set of autism)
Once you get to know the kids and what works for them, you get to understand that they're actually pretty cool behind the walls. If you apply normal rules of society on them you'll get nowhere. They're all different in their triggers and interactions so a post-it smiley will work for some, but not others. You have to tailor your interactions to the individual.
According to her, my dad and I are both "on the spectrum" but not so far that you'd notice without prolonged interaction.
I just wish teachers for normals had the same level of attention to borderline cases like me and my dad as my wife does to her "specials". We were both written off at school as difficult, intractable, stubborn etc and went on to graduate with honors from McGill in Mining Engineering. Once we were exposed to our "thing" and not forced into doing stuff we hated (Shakespeare in particular and anything not physics or engineering or maths) then we really pulled ahead of the crowd.
As for the haters, AS is much much more common than you think. Just about everyone has it and it's not "jumping on the bandwagon" or "being cool". It's just not a big deal for 90% of cases. Not like my god-kids.

Computer use irrelevant to education outcomes, says US study
I've been working as ICT support in schools for ages (10+ years) and I can tell you that about 90% of the comments here are an accurate reflection of the state of affairs.
From where I stand, it's obvious, common knowledge that computers are just tools, not magic. The application of the tool is what's important. If the teacher isn't trained in how to apply computer use into achieving quality outcomes, then save the money and give the teacher more of what that particular teacher needs to stuff an education into the child's head.
Just as some students are "hands on" learners, some are visual learners and some are verbal learners, so too with the teachers. They all have differing styles and forcing them to use a cookie cutter teaching style that lies outside their comfort zone, area of training or expertise generated from decades of experience is only going to be detrimental to everyone involved.
But never mind. It's all for naught. Nobody ever asks the people at the coalface what they think, need or would like. Politicians and overseers who wish they were politicians will make decrees and then be promoted for their amazing forward thinking and use of buzzwords and won't hang around long enough to see the fuckup they have caused.

Best news I've heard for ages!
As a pretty heavy gamer, I've long since given up buying games from Australian stores. It's always cheaper for me to buy from England, even before the AUD skyrocketed. As an added bonus, it's delivered to my door.
$89 on steam? or $47 delivered to my house.
I even scoured the bargain bins once upon a time for the game NOX. I found it for $20 in Harvey Norman at that time, or 3 pounds for the and 4 pounds delivery. At that time the exchange rate was 1:3 so it actually cost me $21.77 to get NOX delivered to my house from England but I did it anyway.
The only downside is that Skyrim arrived on the 20th of November when the release date was 11/11
