Fujitsu Ltd. (富士通株式会社 Fujitsū Kabushiki-Kaisha?) is a Japanese multinational information technology equipment and services company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.[4] It is the world's third-largest IT services provider measured by revenues (after HP).[5]
Fujitsu chiefly makes computing products, but the company and its subsidiaries also offer a diversity of products and services in the areas of personal computing, telecommunications and advanced microelectronics. It has approximately 172,000 employees and its products and services are available in over 70 countries.[1]
Fujitsu is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the Nikkei 225 and TOPIX indices.
1935 to 2000[edit]
Fujitsu is the second oldest IT company after IBM, established on June 20, 1935,[6] under the name Fuji Tsūshinki Seizō (富士通信機製造, Fuji Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturing), as a spinoff of the Fuji Electric Company, itself a joint venture between the Furukawa Electric Company and the German conglomerate Siemens which had been founded in 1923. Despite its connections to the Furukawa zaibatsu, Fujitsu escaped the Allied occupation of Japan after the Second World War mostly unscathed.
In 1954, Fujitsu manufactured Japan's first computer, the FACOM 100, and in 1961 launched the transistorized FACOM 222. In 1955, Fujitsu founded Kawasaki Frontale as a company football club; Kawasaki Frontale has been a J. League football club since 1999. In 1967, the company's name was officially changed to the contraction Fujitsū (富士通).
In 1971, Fujitsu signed an OEM agreement with the Canadian company Consolidated Computers Limited (CCL) to distribute CCL's data entry product, Key-Edit. Fujitsu joined both ICL who earlier began marketing Key-Edit in the British Commonwealth of countries as well as in both western and eastern Europe; and CCL's direct marketing staff in Canada, USA, London (UK) and Frankfurt. Mers Kutt, inventor of Key-Edit and founder of CCL, was the common thread that led to Fujitsu's later association with ICL and Gene Amdahl.
In 1986, Fujitsu and The Queen's University of Belfast business incubation unit (QUBIS Ltd) established a joint venture called Kainos, a privately held software company based in Belfast, Northern Ireland.[7][8]
In 1990, Fujitsu acquired 80% of the UK-based computer company International Computers Limited (ICL) for $1.29 billion (ICL was renamed Fujitsu Services in 2002).[9][10] In September 1990, Fujitsu announced the launch of a new series of mainframe computers which were at that time the fastest in the world.[11][12] In July 1991, Fujitsu acquired more than half of the Russian company KME-CS (Kazan Manufacturing Enterprise of Computer Systems).
In 1992, Fujitsu introduced the world's first 21-inch full-color plasma display. It was a hybrid, based upon the plasma display created at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and NHK STRL, achieving superior brightness.
In 1993, Fujitsu formed a flash memory manufacturing joint venture with AMD, Spansion. As part of the transaction, AMD contributed its flash memory group, Fab 25 in Texas, its R&D facilities and assembly plants in Thailand, Malaysia and China; Fujitsu provided its Flash memory business division and the Malaysian Fujitsu Microelectronics final assembly and test operations.[13]
From February 1989 until mid-1997, Fujitsu built the FM Towns PC variant. It started as a proprietary PC variant intended for multimedia applications and computer games, but later became more compatible with regular PCs. In 1993, the FM Towns Marty was released, a gaming console compatible with the FM Towns games.
Fujitsu agreed to acquire the 58 percent of Amdahl Corporation (including the Canada-based DMR consulting group) that it did not already own for around $850 million in July 1997.[14]
In June 1999 Fujitsu's historical connection with Siemens was revived, when the two companies agreed to merge their European computer operations into a new 50:50 joint venture called Fujitsu Siemens Computers, which became the world's fifth-largest computer manufacturing company.[15]
2000 to present[edit]
In April 2002 ICL was rebranded as Fujitsu. On March 2, 2004, Fujitsu Computer Products of America lost a class action lawsuit over hard disk drives with defective chips and firmware. In October 2004, Fujitsu acquired the Australian subsidiary of Atos Origin, a systems implementation company with around 140 employees which specialized in SAP.[17]
In August 2007, Fujitsu signed a £500 million, 10-year deal with Reuters Group under which Reuters outsourced the majority of its internal IT department to Fujitsu.[18][19] As part of the agreement around 300 Reuters staff and 200 contractors transferred to Fujitsu.[18][19] In October 2007, Fujitsu announced that it would be establishing an offshore development centre in Noida, India with a capacity to house 1,200 employees, in an investment of US$10 million.[20][21]
In October 2007, Fujitsu's Australia and New Zealand subsidiary acquired Infinity Solutions Ltd, a New Zealand-based IT hardware, services and consultancy company, for an undisclosed amount.[22][23]
In January 2009, Fujitsu reached an agreement to sell its HDD business to Toshiba.[24] Transfer of the business was completed on October 1. 2009.[25][26]
In March 2009, Fujitsu announced that it had decided to convert FDK Corporation, at that time an equity-method affiliate, to a consolidated subsidiary from May 1, 2009 (tentative schedule) by subscribing to a private placement to increase FDK's capital.FDK On April 1, 2009, Fujitsu agreed to acquire Siemens' stake in Fujitsu Siemens Computers for approximately EUR450m.[27] Fujitsu Siemens Computers was subsequently renamed Fujitsu Technology Solutions.[28]
In April 2009, Fujitsu acquired Australian software company Supply Chain Consulting for $48 million deal, just weeks after purchasing the Telstra subsidiary Kaz for $200 million.[29]
Concerning of Net loss forecast amounted 95 billion yen in the year ending March 2013, in February 2013 Fujitsu announced to cut 5,000 jobs which 3,000 jobs in Japan and the rest overseas from its 170,000 employees. Fujitsu will also merge its Large Scale Integrated chip business with Panasonic Corp.[30]

Fujitsu Laboratories, Fujitsu's Research and Development division, has 1,300 employees and a capital of 5 Billion Yen. It is run by Tatsuo Tomita.[31]
Recently, Fujitsu announced that it had developed new technology for non 3D camera phones. The technology will allow the camera phones to take 3D photos.[32]
Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe GmbH[edit]
Fujitsu Semicondutor Europe GmbH (FSEU) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fujitsu Semiconductor Limited, formally known as Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH. The name change was instituted in 2010.[33] FSEU designs and supplies semiconductor devices and systems solutions to the European automotive, communications, multimedia and industrial segments.[34] Its main design offices are in the UK and Germany.
Fujitsu Technology Solutions[edit]
The CEMEA&I region (Continental Europe, Middle East, Africa & India) plays an important role within the Fujitsu Group. Here, Fujitsu Technology Solutions – evolved from the former joint venture Fujitsu Siemens Computers – holds global responsibility for research, development and distribution of all x86 servers produced by Fujitsu. The company's Dynamic Infrastructures strategy, was also born here. The term Dynamic Infrastructures stands for a comprehensive range of IT products, solutions, and services – from PCs and notebooks, to data center solutions, and Infrastructure as a Service and Managed Infrastructure services that dynamically adapt and adjust to the ever changing demands of today's economy
Fujitsu Consulting[edit]
Fujitsu Consulting is the consulting and services arm of the Fujitsu group, providing information technology consulting, implementation and management services.
Fujitsu Consulting was founded in 1973 in Montreal, Canada, under its original name "DMR" (an acronym of the three founder's names: Pierre Ducros, Serge Meilleur and Alain Roy[35] During the next decade, the company established a presence throughout Quebec and Canada, before extending its reach to international markets. For nearly thirty years, DMR Consulting grew to become an international consulting firm, changing its name to Fujitsu Consulting in 2002 after being acquired by Fujitsu Ltd.[36]
Fujitsu General[edit]
Fujitsu Ltd has a 72% shareholding in Fujitsu General, which manufactures and markets various air conditioning units and humidity control solutions.[37] A similar venture is sponsored by Fujitsu in India, called General Airconditioners.

Cloud computing[edit]
Fujitsu offers a public cloud service delivered from data centers in Japan, Australia, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany based on its Global Cloud Platform strategy announced in 2010.[38] The platform delivers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) – virtual information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, such as servers and storage functionality – from Fujitsu's data centers. In Japan, the service was offered as the On-Demand Virtual System Service (OViSS) and was then launched globally as Fujitsu Global Cloud Platform/S5 (FGCP/S5). Since July 2013 the service has been called IaaS Trusted Public S5.[39] Globally, the service is operated from Fujitsu data centers located in Australia, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany and Japan.
Fujitsu has also launched a Windows Azure powered Global Cloud Platform in a partnership with Microsoft.[40] This offering, delivering Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), was known as FGCP/A5 in Japan but has since been renamed FUJITSU Cloud PaaS A5 for Windows Azure.[41] It is operated from a Fujitsu data center in Japan. It offers a set of application development frameworks, such as Microsoft .NET, Java and PHP, and data storage capabilities consistent with the Windows Azure platform provided by Microsoft. The basic service consists of compute, storage, Microsoft SQL Azure, and Windows Azure AppFabric technologies such as Service Bus and Access Control Service, with options for interoperating services covering implementation and migration of applications, system building, systems operation, and support.
Fujitsu also offers local cloud platforms, such as in Australia,[42] that provide the ability to rely on its domestic data centers which keep sensitive financial data under local jurisdiction and compliance standards.
Fujitsu produce SPARC compatible CPU (SPARClite),[43] the "Venus" 128 GFLOP SPARC64 VIIIfx model is included in the K computer, the world's fastest supercomputer in June 2011 with a rating of over 8 petaflops, and in November 2011, K became the first computer to top 10 petaflops in September 2011.[44][45]
The Fujitsu FR, FR-V and ARM architecture microprocessors are widely used, additionally in ASICs and Application-specific standard products (ASSP) like the Milbeaut with customer variants named Nikon Expeed. They were acquired by Spansion in 2013.
The old slogan "The possibilities are infinite" can be found below the company's logo on major advertisements and ties in with the small logo above the letters J and I of the word Fujitsu. This smaller logo represents the symbol for infinity. As of April 2010, Fujitsu is in the process of rolling out a new slogan focused on entering into partnerships with its customers and retiring the "possibilities are infinite" tagline. The new slogan is "shaping tomorrow with you".[46]
Environmental record[edit]
Fujitsu reports that all its notebook and tablet PCs released globally comply with the latest Energy Star standard.[47]
Greenpeace's Cool IT Leaderboard of February 2012 "evaluates global IT companies on their leadership in the fight to stop climate change" and ranks Fujitsu 3rd out of 21 leading manufacturers, on the strength of "well-developed case study data of its solutions with transparent methodology" and "[standing] out in the Leaderboard for scoring high in the Future Savings Goal criterion."[48]

Harry potter
I am a Harry Potter superfan and I have always wanted to start a blog, a website or something about the sorcerer boy saga, but I have two jobs and very little time. When I heard about Groupiest, it all fell into place: if they give me the content, then it will be much easier to manage a community of Harry Potter fans without putting in a lot of work and effort. I am happy now!

Excellent article posted at Archaeology and Material Culture.
An astounding number of web pages document abandoned materiality, encompassing a broad range of architectural spaces including asylums, bowling alleys, industrial sites, Cold War sites, and roadside motels as well as smaller things like pianos and even scale models of abandonment. This ruination lust is not simply the province of a small handful of visual artists, hipsters colonizing Detroit, or recalcitrant trespassers; instead, it invokes something that reaches far deeper socially, has international dimensions, extends well into the past, and reflects a deep-seated fascination with—if not apprehension of—abandonment. The question is what explains our apparently sudden collective fascination with abandonment, ruination, and decay. The answers are exceptionally complex and highly individual, but there seem to be some recurrent metaphors in these discourses.
For "urban explorers" (a term that might loosely include artists, photographers, archaeologists, and curious folks alike), such journeys seek out "abandoned, unseen, and off-limits" spaces that imagine ruination in a wide range of artistic, emotional, scholarly, and political forms. Many of these urban explorers and artists see themselves as visual historians, documenting the architectural and community heritage reflected in abandoned spaces. For instance, Jonathan Haeber's urban exploration blog Bearings explains that "I'm just an eye. I'm just a camera. … An urban explorer is just a documentarian. … We only appreciate the creations that are overlooked. … It is what remains that is the democratic equivalent of a revolution."

Latest On The Hangover 2
the second hangover was more dark than the first. there were parts when it was funny but most of the time it was gross and disturbing . I recommend the first movie. the movie felt repetious with the three characters trying to find the lost friend and having inappropiate pictures at the end. i hope that if there is thrid movie it will be more like the first.
Follows the same formula of the first, and obtain the same success, great jokes of the light to heavy, particularly the scene in the brothel transvestite was crying with laughter once again give the actors a show, and the plot is very interesting. The only defect was the lack of explanation for certain aspects of the film, some scenes were too forced. But it is highly recommended
I liked it, but it wasn't good as the first one. The monkey was the best character in it, but it was still funny!!
Fabulou,s funny thought it was well executed and loved the actors and of course the monkey. I have not laughed that much in ages..

LONDON (AP) — Marianne Vos of the Netherlands won the gold medal in the women's road race Sunday in a rain-drenched sprint, leaving Britain's Elizabeth Armitstead with silver and the home country's first medal of the London Olympics.
Vos, the former world champion, made a daring move past Russia's Olga Zabelinskaya to emerge from the three-rider breakaway. She powered past a small group of fans waving the Dutch flag, then raised her arms in triumph as she crossed the finish line.
Zabelinskaya won bronze after a frantic finish through a driving rain that was reminiscent of four years ago in Beijing, when Britain's Nicole Cook pulled away late to win gold.
"It was a hard race today with the weather conditions," Vos said, "but then I felt good. We made the race hard with the Dutch squad, early attacks, and that was the plan."
Worked to perfection.
Nobody could blame Vos for the scream she let loose at the finish.
A former Olympic gold medalist in track cycling, Vos had grown accustomed the past few years to finishing just off the top step in major races. She's been silver medalist five straight years at the world championships, and had never stood on the podium in an Olympic road race.
Perhaps fittingly, the clouds broke and the sun shone for the medal ceremony.
"She is a machine," Zabelinskaya said, "and the rest of us are not yet at this high level."
Armitstead accepted the silver medal to cheers from her home crowd, delivering the podium finish that eluded Mark Cavendish and his teammates on the powerhouse men's team the previous day.
While the crowds that turned out didn't nearly reach the estimated 1 million fans who watched Saturday, they were still packed deep along the 87-mile route.
The riders started off on the Mall during one of one of the many showers that plagued the entire race, passing by Buckingham Palace and heading south of London.
Estonian rider Grete Treier was among several riders who crashed on the narrow, slick roads of London early in the race. There were also a number of punctures, including one that slowed reigning time trial silver medalist Emma Pooley of Britain.
Ellen van Dijk, the national time trial champion from the Netherlands, spent the first half of the race trying to open up gaps on the field. Every time she bounced off the front, though, a handful of riders were positioned right behind with orders to bring her back.
Just as in the men's race, Box Hill was where the race took shape.
The first of two trips up the punchy climb in the Surrey countryside broke the field into two groups. One of the riders dropped was Cooke, the defending gold medalist, who managed to race back to the peloton but was spent by the time the riders started up the climb again.
Reigning time trial gold medalist Kristin Armstrong of the United States crashed at the bottom of Box Hill, hampering the chances of the American team in the run-up to the finish.
Vos made her first big move on the final climb and was quickly joined by Armitstead. They went clear along with Sweden's Emma Johansson and American rider Shelley Olds, the group of four riders reaching more than 40 mph on the quick downhill.
Their gap was 18 seconds with about 25 miles remaining, and working together the trio managed to extend their advantage as another round of rain pounded the course.
Olds dropped away after puncturing her tire at the most inopportune of times, and the three riders remaining in the break carried on. Vos did most of the work at the front, pushing the gap to more than 30 seconds while a field led by the Italians and Americans frantically gave chase.
The wet roads didn't help their cause.
Every rider who moved to the front had to slow dramatically around the city's tight, narrow corners, and their lost momentum allowed the breakaway to build on its lead.
It reached 53 seconds as crowds choked the run-in to Buckingham Palace, and by that point it was clear the race would be decided among the three. Vos began her sprint with the finish line in sight, and Armitstead didn't have enough left to chase her down.
"With three, you know you have to keep on pushing to the finish, because it was our biggest chance for gold, or for a medal," Vos said. "I knew Lizzie was fast on the line, so I was not dead-on confident, but I knew I had a chance, and I knew I had a big chance."

Pixia mascot designed by ASAMI.
This website is to introduce graphic software, Pixia.
The original Japanese Edition of Pixia was created and developed by the author, Isao Maruoka,
but has also been aggressively raised by its fans, which makes this software quite unique and
different from other tools.
The Help File for ver. 4 is available as a separate installation file. To get better tips for using
Pixia, visit users' tutorials linked from the Tutorial page. Sorry helps for ver. 5
and 6 are not available yet.
New Version
New! Pixia ver. 6.00k!
A bug that caused an error is fixed.(12/14/2013)
Isao will work only on Pixia ver. 6, and Pixia ver. 4 and 5 will no longer be updated
Pixia ver. 6 is the successor of ver. 5, so Isao will now work only on ver. 6.
The current versions of Pixia ver. 5 and 4 will stay for download, because ver. 6 will not support XP or Vista.
To Windows Vista, 7 and 8 users who are having a fatal error problem using Pixia or Phierha:
It may be due to the privilege given to the installation folder. Try right-clicking "dirset.exe" in the folder, and choose "Run as Administrator" just once. This might solve the problem. The current installers of English Editions are now equipped with a new function to reduce the possible occurrence of the problem.
To those having a crash handling PXA and/or JPEG format:
It may be due to the incompatibility between the exif information contained in the new version and that in the older versions. If you encounter problems handling the file saved by older versions or the files from digital cameras, please delete the exif information by [View]-[Delete Exif Information] and check if the program can handle the file correctly.

"I guess you could give any one of us a 1099 and claim we're a contractor," Allred said, referring to the IRS form for payments to independent contractors.
"You have to go through a step-by-step process: Is this person a contractor, or is this person a state employee?" he added.
He cited the example of retired state Personnel Director Joe Smith, who entered into a consulting contract with then-Gov. Joe Manchin in 2005. While ostensibly working for the state as vendor, Smith had administrative authority in the governor's office, including signature authority to approve employee promotions and pay raises.
"The issue is the monetary impact on the system, and the political philosophy of whether someone should be able to draw a retirement check and a paycheck," Allred said.
The legislative interim committee is also looking at ways to reduce future state pension costs by reducing retirement benefits for future hires.
Options include increasing the normal retirement age for state employees from 60 to 62, increasing the employee contribution rate from 4.5 percent to 6 percent of salary; and reducing or eliminating credits for unused sick days and leave days.
Other options would be to reduce the multiplier for calculating pensions from 2 percent of salary times years of service to 1.75 percent or 1.5 percent, or to cap maximum pension benefits at 70 percent of salary, regardless of years of service.

Just in case you were getting a little too comfortable with that smartphone and/or tablet, Hillcrest Labs wants to add more motion into your daily use.
The company just announced plans to offer up its Freespace technology to manufacturers and component suppliers of smartphones and tablets. The new Freespace MotionEngine for Mobile is an embedded software solution that can up the use of accelerometers, magnetometers, and gyroscopes, which are currently found in a lot of smartphones and tablets.
The end result should mean more motion-based applications. That doesn't just mean that you'll be wiggling to get the lights to turn on. It actually means if you fall or have some type of accident, the device could send out a distress message to emergency responders. Other possible applications include better GPS and new health and fitness applications. Yes, of course, it could also be used for both gaming and gesture control around the house.
Hillcrest currently licenses its technology to LG, Roku, Sony, and others in the CE space. Smartphones and tablets seem like a natural step (literally). The company says that it can work with motion sensors from all major suppliers. That said, there's no word on whether or not those suppliers will take the company up on the offer.
"The smartphone industry is at a key inflection point with motion control," said Chad Lucien, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Hillcrest Labs. "Motion sensors are now standard in mobile devices, but today's motion software implementations impose significant constraints that limit sensor choice, integration flexibility and performance. We aim to change that. Our Freespace MotionEngine for Mobile provides a unique software solution for Android and Windows 8 smartphones and tablets, which delivers the highest performance and provides the most flexible integration options, while enabling manufacturers to use sensors from any major supplier in the market."

Tim Hetherington, Diary, 2010.
The year since the tragic death of Tim Hetherington has been a mix of mourning and celebration, for the loss of a young artist with incredible potential, yet one who made a great deal of powerful work within his lifetime. Though the exhibition of his work at Yossi Milo Gallery ended a month ago, one of the most remarkable works from the show is continually available online.
Diary is Hetherington's stream of consciousness—a non linear sequence blurring the boundaries between foreign battlegrounds and the bucolic pastures of home. Yet the terms of war and peace are superseded by the internal struggle for meaning in the face of alienation—a battle fought both in times of conflict and comfort. Altogether this composition of cross-fading associations dramatically presents the way Hetherington sensed space, movement, and emotion.
His description of the work, as quoted from the Vimeo host page:
'Diary' is a highly personal and experimental film that expresses the subjective experience of my work, and was made as an attempt to locate myself after ten years of reporting. It's a kaleidoscope of images that link our western reality to the seemingly distant worlds we see in the media.
Camera + Directed by Tim Hetherington
Edit + Sound design by Magali Charrier
19' 08 / 2010
RIP Tim Hetherington. One of my fucking heroes.
Very powerful film.
Bad fucking ass. Incredible.
This is wild.

56 reviewsTake the ride of your life in Grand Theft Auto V for PS3.
Developed by series creator Rockstar North, Grand Theft Auto V is the largest and most ambitious title in the series to date, with a world bigger than GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas combined.
Set in the sprawling city of Los Santos and the surrounding area, Grand Theft Auto V delivers a world of unprecedented scale and detail bursting with life, from mountaintops to the depths of the ocean.
Los Santos is a sprawling sun-soaked metropolis full of self-help gurus, starlets and fading celebrities which was once the envy of the Western world, but now struggling to stay afloat in an era of economic uncertainty and cheap reality TV.
Amidst the turmoil, three very different criminals plot their own chances of survival and success: Franklin, a former street gangster, now looking for real opportunities and serious money; Michael, a professional ex-con whose retirement is a lot less rosy than he hoped it would be; and Trevor, a violent maniac driven by the chance of a cheap high and the next big score.
Running out of options, the crew risks everything in a series of daring and dangerous heists that could set them up for life.
Age from 18 years.

Wind Farm Operator Ends Dispute By Paying Coos
Brookfield Renewable Energy has ended a dispute with Coos County over payments for its wind turbines by paying up.
Last month Brookfield, which operates 33 wind turbines, said it only owed about $245,000.
That is about half of what the county expected under a Payment-in-Lieu-of-Taxes agreement. The deal was for ten years.
The county argued the contract was clear and required payments for wind turbine generators that "are actually installed and either generating energy or capable of generating energy and permitted to generate energy as required by applicable law."
Brookfield argued the payment was "directly tied to the amount of electricity we are permitted to produce." And, so the payment should be much smaller.
At a Coos County Commissioners' meeting Wednesday County Administrator Jennifer Fish said Brookfield paid the full amount.
A Brookfield spokeswoman said the company had no comment.

In our state you need to have both front and back plates. I bought the Jeff Gordon frame to put on the front of my car and the Dale Earnhardt Jr frame for the back. I receive great reviews for both plates because they are different,good looking and show the spirit of the sport.

Well, I never liked him much myself either but dude was a warrior and the "good" part of his career was short, but sweet. Maybe not for him...>__>... He just happened to fight some badder lions. Right place wrong time. If only he was prime right now he' have faired slightly better.
Interim Champion
Good question & point btw. Only thing is the weight difference. That's why I said the Cotto that fought Floyd since it was his best performance at 154. Last edited by lx!!; 09-14-2012 at 06:16 PM. |

I liked Vargas, but there's a reason his career was short. He was too emotional. he got mad and his feelings took over rationality-control. Remaining calm helps keep you in your game plan and helps you think on your feet and adjust quicker.
Cotto that fought Floyd beats prime Vargas. |

The Cotto that fought Mayweather was past prime in my opinion. A prime Vargas beats any Cotto and he walks through that Cotto for a KO. Vargas was a real 154 pounder and I don't think Cotto is. To me Vargas was better than Cotto in every way. He was just as fast, a better boxer, more stamina, will power, chin and punching power. Trinidad took the prime right out of Vargas and hurt his ability to take a punch. Before Trinidad Vargas had never even been hurt.

Historical Context
Discussion of English Romantic poets usually refers to the small handful who wrote in a short period of time around the turn of the nineteenth century. Three poets in particular—Keats, Lord Byron, and Percy Shelley—dominate the public's imagination of what a Romantic poet is like. All three were friends and associates, they were gifted and serious about artistry, and all three died relatively young, leaving their poetry to be associated with the compelling blend of youth and doom. Romanticism, in fact, can be seen in almost all poetry, with stylistic strains going back at least to Shakespeare's peer Edmund Spenser (1553-1599), whose allegorical epic The Faerie Queen was to have a profound influence on Keats in the 1800's. It was the generation immediately preceding Keats's, though, that brought Romanticism into its own as a conscious artistic practice. A strong influence on those early Romantics was Thomas Chatterton, who killed himself in 1770, just before his eighteenth birthday, out of despair over the lack of critical reception for his works. Chatterton had a talent for mimicking the penmanship and language of the Middle Ages, and at age fifteen he published a collection of poems attributed to Thomas Rowley, a fifteenth-century poet he had made up. This nostalgia for the long-ago past became a key element of writing of the time, and is strongly evident in the works of the Scottish poet Robert Burns (1759-1796) who is usually considered a quasi-Romantic poet, and of Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832), who started his career writing mediocre poems but became an important part of literary history with historical romance novels. In the last years of the eighteenth century William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge began Romanticism as we talk about it today. Both poets were free-thinkers, somewhat radical, ready to change conventional assumptions.
A main influence on them, and on the Romantic movements all over the world and in all different branches of art and philosophy, was the French Revolution. The central force of the Romantic movement was the importance placed on individuality, and the French Revolution was the key moment in world history when the rights of individuals came to be recognized. It marked the shift from a feudal society, where citizens...

Literary Style
"Bright Star! Would I Were Steadfast as Thou Art" is a sonnet, a traditional poetic form characterized by its length of fourteen lines and its use of a set rhyme scheme. Although there are many variations on the sonnet form, most are based on the two major types: the Petrarchan, or Italian, sonnet and the Shakespearean, or English, sonnet. In different ways, "Bright Star!" resembles both. While its rhyme scheme is that of the Shakespearean form— three quatrains rhyming abab cdcd efef, followed by a couplet rhyming gg—its thematic division most closely follows the Petrarchan model. In this type of sonnet, the first eight lines, or the octave, generally present some kind of question, doubt, desire, or vision of the ideal. The last six lines, or the sestet, generally answer the question, ease the doubt, satisfy the desire, or fulfill the vision. In Keats's poem, the first eight lines explore the steadfastness of the star, which watches over nature "with eternal lids apart." The speaker longs to be just "as steadfast," yet, like the star, he needs something to watch over. In the sestet, he turns his attention to his love, the object of his eternal vigilance.

Compare and Contrast
1819: An iron cooking stove was patented by inventor John Conant. It was not a commercial success, however, because most housewives chose to cook food on their fireplaces, as they were accustomed.
Today: Many cooks are impatient with the time it takes to heat food with fire, gas, or electric heat, so they use the microwave oven, using principles they do not understand.
1819: The French Revolution was over: Napoleon had been defeated at Waterloo four years earlier, and King Louis XVIII was restored to the throne.
Today: France is ruled by a president. It is one of the largest Western democracies to have elected a socialist leader in modern times (Francois Mitterand, in 1981).
1819: The Savannah was the first steamship to cross an ocean.
Today: Although the airplane has replaced steamship travel as a mode of transportation, luxury cruises are a popular vacation option.
1819: Beethoven, who had been losing his hearing since 1801, was completely deaf.
Today: Music aficionados find some of Beethoven's works composed after he went deaf, including his string quartets, to be among the most beautiful ever written.

Topics for Further Study
In this poem, the speaker says that the star has qualities—steadfastness, watchfulness, fidelity—that he would like to have himself. Write a poem about an object of your choosing, in which you give that object qualities you admire.
Do you think a star is a powerful way for an author to imagine his relationship with his lover? Point out the strengths and weaknesses of this image.
Keats was criticized during his lifetime for being a "Cockney Poet," by which his detractors meant that he wrote like a lower-class person, a worker rather than a refined poet. Pick specific details about this poem that might have led them to this conclusion, and explain your choices.
