The Blobjob
In Treasure Hunter you play the nephew of Tuck Pinkleton, an old sailor and explorer who lives in the North American seaside village of Golden Greek. Your uncle has built a maritime museum with 5000 square meters of exhibit floor space, but there is no money left to fund the exhibits. He knows a solution though, as there are thousands of shipwrecks around the world filled with dazzling treasures. As he is too old, he asks you to search for these treasures, and he supplies you with his yacht, a computer with vidphone, and $30,000 to start. You first task is to find a crew and the necessary info for your first mission.
To complete the game, you have to go on five missions. For each mission you have to research the history of the wreck, acquire funding, and hire a crew. The actual search is shown through a series of slide show presentations that can be viewed in your computer. In two cases it is sufficient to explore the village and to contact experts using your vidphone. For the other missions you have to fly to Seville to explore a museum, to Malta to explore an abbey, and to Emerald Island near Madagascar where you have to find your way in a maze-like cave.
As an edutainment game, Treasure Hunter includes many "cut-scenes" (slide shows) with historical information. Exploring the locations from a first-person perspective, you move around using a directional cursor that allows you to turn around at certain stopping points, with transitional movies between these points. At the top of the action window the number of days and total of your funds are shown. When the cursor is moved to the bottom of the screen action icons are shown (e.g. to move or take things), a travel bag for inventory items, a plane to travel, and your computer. The game has only six saving slots (all the saves start at the first location of a mission). The game has a hint system that is activated when you are stuck for some time (your computer icon will flash). The main menu includes a bonus option (to view historical sequences, books, museum, and reconstitutions of wrecks & treasures). [source:mobygames]

 Everything you need to know on Trump's actions affecting citizens of Muslim-majority countries

The United States shut its doors to refugees fleeing war-torn Syria and suspended entry from citizens of Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, all Muslim-majority nations. The move has caused chaos and anger in the U.S. and abroad. Here's what you need to know
Globe Staff
Canada's Immigration Minister, Ahmed Hussen, says he will provide temporary residence in Canada to any travelers who are stranded in this country and confirmed that Canadian dual citizens and permanent residents will not be affected by the ban.
Protests continued Sunday as outrage continued to grow in response to President Donald Trump's immigration order signed on Friday.
On Sunday, Mr. Trump defended the policy and addressed charges that the order was rolled out chaotically, with key national security and border officials kept in the dark, according to reports.
"Our dream is destroyed completely," said a former U.S. Army interpreter in Iraq who was set to move with his family to the U.S. in a matter of weeks. Meanwhile, a small Vermont town's plans to bring in 25 Syrian families have been erased.
Late on Saturday night a federal judge issued an emergency ruling that said stranded travellers could stay in the country following a legal challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU said it would help 100 to 200 people with valid visas or refugee status who found themselves detained.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reaffirmed Canada's position on refugees, tweeting Saturday: "To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength."
Canada's top technology leaders are asking Ottawa to to provide "immediate and targeted" assistance, including temporary residency, to those displaced by President Donald Trump's executive order. Canadian tech executives are expecting the immigration ban to be 'a boon' for their industry.
Canadian leaders across the political spectrum spoke out against the ban on Saturday and many said that their jurisdictions were open and willing to receive anyone affected by the executive orders.
Some powerful world leaders have also joined in the opposition. A spokesperson for German Chancellor Angela Merkel tweeted a statement saying that she had expressed her concerns in a phone call with President Trump on Saturday.

The reaction in Canada
Canada's Immigration Minister, Ahmed Hussen, says he will provide temporary residence in Canada to any travelers who are stranded in this country as a result of the order signed by Mr. Trump
Mr. Hussen told reporters that the U.S. administration has confirmed that Canadian dual nationals who also hold a citizenship in one of the seven countries will not be affected by Mr. Trump's executive order. In addition, he said the Canadian government has been assured by the White House that Canadians with a valid Canadian permanent resident card and a passport from those seven countries can still enter the United States as usual.
There are 35,000 dual Canadian citizens who also hold citizenship in one of the countries named by Mr. Trump, said Mr. Hussen who was born in Somalia and obtained his own Canadian citizenship 15 years ago.
Canadian officials are aware of a small number of passengers who have not been allowed to board a flight to the United States from an airport, said the Minister. They will continue to monitor that situation, he said, but, so far, the government is not aware of any traveler who has been stranded at a Canadian airport.
- Gloria Galloway
CANADA Dual citizens and permanent residents are not subject to a U.S. travel ban.
Political reaction in the U.S.
Democrats, business executives, religious leaders and academics were quick to say that Mr. Trump's order was a violation of America's founding principles that compromised its security abroads
A backlash against the policy has been building even in President Trump's own party. Republican Senators Susan Collins, Jeff Flake, and Ben Sasse have come out against the ban, along with a handful of House Republicans.
On Sunday, Mr. Trump defended the policy in a brief exchange with reporters in the Oval Office, and addressed charges that the order was rolled out chaotically, with key national security and border officials kept in the dark, according to reports.
"It's not a Muslim ban, but we were totally prepared," Mr. Trump said of a policy that targets citizens of Muslim-majority countries . "It's working out very nicely. You see it at the airports, you see it all over. It's working out very nicely. And we're going to have a very, very strict ban, and we're going to have extreme vetting, which we should have had in this country for many years."
On Twitter, President Trump also lashed out at some of his most prominent critics, the Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham, who released a statement Sunday calling the executive order a "self-inflicted wound in the fight against terrorism."
The joint statement of former presidential candidates John McCain & Lindsey Graham is wrong - they are sadly weak on immigration. The two...
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 29, 2017
...Senators should focus their energies on ISIS, illegal immigration and border security instead of always looking to start World War III.
Attorneys general from 16 U.S. states including New York and California have condemned the executive order and vowed to fight it, calling the decision "unconstitutional, un-American, and unlawful."
The reaction in Africa
In Africa, the Trump refugee ban is targeted at Somalia, Sudan and Libya, where millions of people have fled from war zones and famine. His new executive order will force hundreds of refugees to return to some of the world's most dangerous and squalid refugee camps.
At least 300 refugees, mostly Somali, are now stuck in Kenya after their flights to the United States were cancelled, according to a report by Radio Dalsan, a radio station based in Mogadishu.
The United Nations refugee agency, UNHCR, had planned to resettle the refugees in the United States, and their flights were scheduled for Monday, but the flights were cancelled as a result of the new Trump order, the radio station said.
Most of the refugees were women and children who had been waiting 10 to 15 years to be resettled. They will now be forced to return to the Dadaab refugee camp, in northern Kenya near the Somalia border, the report said. "This is very sad for them," a refugee leader at Dadaab told the radio station.
Throughout the weekend, Somali media have been reporting the cases of Somali refugees who were detained or deported after they arrived at U.S. airports.
One Somali citizen, Asad Hussein, said his parents had been waiting 13 years to join their daughter in the United States, and had finally received confirmation of a U.S. immigration interview, when the door was slammed shut by the new U.S. policy. The policy means "my family will likely never be reunited in America," he wrote on the Foreign Policy website on Sunday.
Refugees from war-torn Darfur, a region of Sudan where the military has been accused of genocide for its attacks on local villages, will also be affected by the Trump order.
Those with work permits are equally jeopardized by the new policy. Reports described the case of a Sudanese doctor, Suha Abushamma, who works at a well-known U.S. medical clinic. Just hours after landing in New York on Saturday, customs agents forced her to fly to Saudi Arabia because of the new order.
Sir Mo Farah, the British Olympic hero who was recently knighted, is one of the highest-profile celebrities to be affected by the Trump order. Because he was born in Somalia and is now training in Ethiopia, the gold-medalist distance runner could be banned from returning to the United States, where he has lived with his family for the past six years.
"Donald Trump seems to have made me an alien," he said on his Facebook page on Sunday.
"It's deeply troubling that I will have to tell my children that Daddy might not be able to come home – to explain why the President has introduced a policy that comes from a place of ignorance and prejudice."
His own story of migrating to Britain and becoming a British sports icon "is an example of what can happen when you follow policies of compassion and understanding, not hate and isolation," he said.
"I am a British citizen who has lived in America for the past six years – working hard, contributing to society, paying my taxes and bringing up our four children in the place they now call home. Now, me and many others like me are being told that we may not be welcome."
– Geoffrey York
The protests
Protests broke out in dozens of American cities on Sunday, often concentrated in airports where travellers from the seven affected countries were being detained, ABC News reported Sunday. Some of the largest crowds gathered in New York, Boston and outside the White House in Washington, D.C.
A protest was scheduled for 8 a.m. on Monday morning outside the U.S. consulate in Toronto. Organizers suggested a temporary symbolic shutdown of the building was possible, but promised to avoid disrupting people seeking help with travel. The consulate released a statement saying it would be closed on Monday, anyway, in anticipation of the protest.

The reaction in the Middle East
Iran's foreign minister Javad Zarif promised "reciprocal measures" against the U.S., without specifying what those would be.
While respecting Americans & differentiating between them &hostile U.S. policies, Iran will take reciprocal measures to protect citizens.5/7
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) January 28, 2017
"Collective discrimination aids terrorist recruitment by deepening fault-lines exploited by extremist demagogues to swell their ranks," Mr. Zarif wrote in a Twitter thread.
The country's foreign ministry also released an angry statement in response to the executive order, calling it "a clear insult to the Islamic world, and especially the great nation of Iran."
Lawmakers in Iraq, which has also been targeted by the ban, called for retaliation on Sunday. The foreign affairs committee of the country's parliament issued a statement directed at the government in Baghdad. "We ask the Iraqi government to reciprocate to the decision taken by the US administration," said one of the committee members, Hassan Shwerid. "Iraq is in the frontline of the war of terrorism … and it is unfair that the Iraqis are treated in this way."
MIDDLE EAST After the travel ban took effect, an Iraqi family of four had dream of going to the U.S. dashed.
MORE FROM THE GLOBE AND MAIL
David Shribman: And on the seventh full day, Donald Trump sowed chaos Mr. Trump, an inadvertent advocate of chaos theory, won the Republican presidential nomination, and then the White House, by employing his unique brand of chaos. And on the seventh full day he didn't rest, prompting worldwide unrest.
Shaista Aziz: Let's call Trump's Muslim ban what it really is: A hate crime True to form, Mr. Trump's arrival in the White House has been every bit as hateful, shameful and unconscionable, as we should've expected it to be based on his rhetoric during the election campaign.
H.A. Hellyer: Trump's 'vetting' just made the world less free – and less safe Those who underestimated Donald Trump were right. His policies, at least when it came to the "Muslim ban" weren't that bad. They were worse.

Employment Alert 18 Jun 2015
"Mum's the word – and so is Dad": The ABC's of Parental Leave
Scullin v Coffey Projects (Australia) [2015] FCCA 1514 & 1602
A period of unpaid parental leave is a right to which employees – not just mothers or primary carers – are entitled to under the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth). If an employee meets the other eligibility criteria set out in the National Employment Standards, then the employer must allow the employee to take a period of unpaid parental leave associated with the birth or adoption of their child.
Under the NES, an employee who takes unpaid parental leave is entitled to return to the same position they had before going on leave, or if that position no longer exists, to an available position for which the employee is qualified and suited which is nearest in status and pay to the former positon.
A recent case has demonstrated that employers must be careful not to rely on internal policies which deny employees their statutory entitlements. The company in that case was found to have breached the NES and the employee's contract of employment. The Judge ordered the company to pay the employee a large amount of compensation for salary and redundancy payments which would have flowed to the employee had he been allowed to take unpaid parental leave under the NES and had his right to return to the same position been protected.
The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) does not give employees a right to paid parental leave. Employers may choose to offer payment for some or all of a period of parental leave. Currently, eligible employees may access employer-funded paid parental leave at the same time as they access the Commonwealth Government's Parental Leave Pay.
Parental Leave Pay is a benefit payable by the Commonwealth Government to eligible employees. It is not the source of a separate leave entitlement. It is available to a narrower group of people than the NES in that Parental Leave Pay is usually only available to a primary carer.
A new Commonwealth Government policy, proposed as part of the 2015 Budget, would prevent employees from accessing the full benefit of Parental Leave Pay if any parental leave payment from their employer matches or exceeds that payable under the Government's scheme. It is unclear whether these proposed "anti-double dipping" changes will pass through the Senate but if they do, the changes are currently proposed to apply to any child born or adopted on or after 1 July 2016.
When considering a request for parental leave, an employer should check the source(s) of the employee's entitlement to take that leave: does the employee meet the eligibility criteria for unpaid parental leave under the NES, or under an internal policy if that is more generous?
Employers should audit their policies for compliance with relevant legislation. This Alert suggests some of the "red flags" which might be found in an outdated and non-compliant parental leave policy (such as a policy making a distinction between maternity and paternity leave).
Stay abreast of the status of the proposed changes to the Commonwealth Government's Parental Leave Pay, and consider your options in response if the proposal becomes law.
The ABC's of parental leave
The National Employment Standards entitle most Australian employees to 12 months' unpaid parental leave provided that:
the leave is associated with the birth or adoption of a child of the employee;
the employee meets the minimum service requirement (12 months service before the date or expected date of the child's birth or adoption); and
the employee has, or will have, "a responsibility for care of the child".
Each eligible member of an employee couple may take a separate period of up to 12 months of unpaid parental leave. An 'employee couple' is where two employees (not necessarily of the same employer) are in a spousal or de facto relationship.
Employees also have the right to request a further 12 months of unpaid parental leave. However, an employer is not obliged to grant that request.
Casual employees may also access unpaid parental leave, so long as they have been working for their employer on a regular and systematic basis for at least 12 months, and would have had a reasonable expectation of continuing work with the employer on a regular and systematic basis, had it not been for the birth or adoption of a child.
The entitlement to take parental leave is a "workplace right" under the Act. Any adverse action taken by an employer against an employee because they have an entitlement to parental leave will be unlawful.
Return to work guarantee
The NES also contains an entitlement for an employee to return at the end of their unpaid parental leave to:
their pre-parental leave position; or
if that position no longer exists, to an available position for which the employee is qualified and suited nearest in status and pay to the preparental leave position.
The issue of what happens when an employee's position becomes redundant while they are on parental leave was considered in our Employment Alert dated 26 June 2014.
The pitfalls of policies
A recent decision in the Federal Circuit Court shows how employers can expose themselves to penalties and compensation orders by following their own policies if those policies are less generous than the NES.
Is a father entitled to unpaid parental leave?
In Scullin v Coffey Projects (Australia) [2015] FCCA 1514, the employee's wife gave birth to twins and the employee requested 12 months' parental leave to assist with their care. The company rejected that request, but allowed the employee to take a mixture of other paid and unpaid leave. When the employee returned to work after 12 months, the company offered him part time work only. A year later, the company dismissed the employee on the grounds of redundancy.
The employee brought proceedings alleging that the company:
took adverse action against him because he had workplace rights and family responsibilities to care for his twins;
recklessly made false or misleading statements about his workplace rights in contravention of the Act;
contravened the NES; and
breached his contract of employment.
NES, not policy, reflects minimum entitlements
Judge Turner did not accept that the employer had taken adverse action or had recklessly made false and misleading statements, but found that the employer had breached the NES by not allowing the employee to take unpaid parental leave.
The company's policy required an applicant for parental leave to be the "primary carer" of a child. The NES contains no such requirement.
Judge Turner found that:
by denying the employee the leave to which he was entitled under the NES, the company had both contravened the NES and repudiated the employee's contract;
by allocating only part-time work after the employee's return from leave (whereas had he been granted unpaid parental leave, his return to his full time position would have been protected), the company had caused the employee's loss of being denied the right to return to his full-time position when his leave finished; and
when redundancies occurred, the employee lost the chance of receiving a redundancy package calculated at his full time, rather than part time, salary.
The company was ordered to pay to the employee:
the difference between his part-time and full-time salary from the date he returned from leave until his employment was terminated;
an amount on account of additional annual leave the employee should have received had he worked full time; and
an additional amount on account of severance pay being the difference between what he would have received as a full time employee less what he was actually paid for severance pay as a part time employee.
This came to a total of $169,347.24 (less tax).
In a separate decision, the company was also ordered to pay a penalty of $8,250 (25% of the maximum penalty) to the employee for its contravention of the NES.
Implications for unpaid parental leave policies
The Coffey case shows how important it is that employers stay up to date about employees' legal entitlements. Policies which are inaccurate or out of date risk may cause an employer to breach their statutory obligations. In this case, while the company's reliance on policies approved by Human Resources shielded it from the reckless misrepresentation claim, it did not protect the company from a finding that it had breached the NES.
Importantly, in Coffey, Judge Turner rejected the company's argument that the company could not be in breach of the NES unless it denied an actual request from the employee.
Employers should regularly check their policies for compliance with legislation. In parental leave policies, "red flags" to watch out for include:
A requirement that the person taking parental leave must be the "primary carer". The Coffey case makes clear that even if this requirement appears in a policy whether by mistake or negligence, it will still constitute a contravention of the NES;
References to "maternity leave" and "paternity leave". The NES uses the term "parental leave" to describe maternity leave, paternity leave and adoption leave. While there are some differences between when and how mothers, fathers and partners of parents take their leave, their basic entitlements are the same;
A policy which does not give any leave entitlements to adoptive parents. The rights in the NES apply equally to people who become parents by adoption;
No requirement of a written response to a request for an extension of unpaid parental leave for a further period of up to 12 months. The Act requires that an employer provide a response to such a request in writing within 21 days, and, if the request is refused, provide details of the reasons for the refusal; and
No guarantee that a person can return to their position, or if that position no longer exists, an available position for which the employee is qualified and suited nearest in status and pay to the pre-parental leave position, as required by the NES.
The NES does not contain an entitlement to paid parental leave. There are generally two sources of entitlement to paid parental leave; discretionary employer paid parental leave, and the Commonwealth Government's Parental Leave Pay.
The Commonwealth Government offers eligible parents financial support of up to 18 weeks through the Parental Leave Pay scheme. This scheme does not create an additional entitlement to leave. Rather, it entitles eligible employees to a total of $11,500 (being 18 weeks' of the minimum wage) to be taken during the time that a parent accesses paid or unpaid parental leave from their employer.
To be eligible for Parental Leave Pay a person must:
earn less than $150,000;
be the primary carer of a newborn or recently adopted child;
meet the "work test", which requires the person to have worked at least one day per week for at least 10 of the 13 months before the child's birth; and
be on leave or not working during the period they receive Parental Leave Pay.
Currently, a parent can receive the Government's Parental Leave Pay and any payment for parental leave offered by their employer. This may change in July 2016. In its May 2015 Budget, the Commonwealth Government announced plans to make changes to eligibility for Parental Leave Pay.
The Government proposes that instead of allowing employees to access the full value of both Parental Leave Pay and any paid leave offered by their employer, employees will only be able to claim Parental Leave Pay from the Government if their employer pays a total amount of pay for parental leave which is less than that paid under the Government's scheme. The Government will "top up" the pay given by an employer, but will not duplicate it.
If a person's employer pays more than the Government's rate, they will not receive any of the Government Parental Leave Pay. Conversely, if a person's employer does not offer paid parental leave, they will be able to receive the full rate of Parental Leave Pay, subject to meeting the other eligibility requirements.
Details of the Government's proposed changes are yet to be announced. In particular, it is not clear whether accessing any other employer benefits (such as a oneoff bonus) will prevent a person accessing the Government's Parental Leave Pay.
It is unclear whether these proposed "anti-double dipping" changes will pass through the Senate but if they do, the changes are currently proposed to apply to any child born or adopted on or after 1 July 2016. Employers will have to wait to see the details of the Government's proposed changes, and indeed whether the changes are passed into law, before preparing a response. If the changes become law, there will be a reduced incentive for some employers to offer paid parental leave to employees who would otherwise be eligible to receive the Government's Parental Leave Pay.
It may be that some employers may look to offer different benefits to different groups of employees based on eligibility for the Government's Parental Leave Pay. Depending on how the new law is drafted (if enacted), some employers may wish to provide a benefit in another form to some employees, such as a bonus or in kind payment.
Even if the changes become law, employer provided parental leave pay need not change for employees who are not eligible for any payment under the Government's Parental Leave Pay (such as those who earn over $150,000).

The Bradfield Society
A Level Exam Report 2018
A Level pupils at Bradfield College have returned a very strong set of results following the excellent IB results which were announced earlier this summer. Overall, 76% of grades achieved were A*-B, with 41% either an A* or A (with IBDP Higher Tier results included). Special mention goes to Georgie Cockburn who joins Elias Tenhula and Livi Lee-Smith in confirming her place at Oxford. Georgie, along with Quinn McCallion, secured 3A*s in her A Levels and Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). In total, 28% of this cohort achieved grades of AAB or better, which is an excellent achievement in light of the recent qualification reforms.
We are delighted to report that the overwhelming majority of the pupils have made it into their first choice university. Once again, a number of Bradfieldians are headed overseas to continue their studies having taken up offers in North America and mainland Europe. Two pupils (a number that we will likely see grow significantly in years to come) look forward to beginning their respective apprenticeships; one at PWC accountancy and the other at GCI technology.
Headmaster, Dr Chris Stevens, said, "I am delighted for the pupils and staff who have worked so hard over the past twelve months. These results are testament to the diligence of our pupils and the skill of their teachers and support staff. Reformed A Levels represent a stiffer academic challenge than their predecessors. I am particularly impressed therefore with these results and wish the pupils well as they move on to new things."

A European Union flag (L) flutters next to a Greek flag on the facade of the Bank of Greece headquarters in Athens, April 14, 2015.
The Greek central bank has warned that failure to reach a bailout deal with its international creditors will result in recession, decline in income levels, and possibly even a withdrawal from the Eurozone.
The central bank issued its statement Wednesday, a day before Eurozone finance ministers meet to discuss how to get more emergency funds to Greece by June 30, when Athens is obligated to pay back $1.8 billion to the International Monetary Fund.
In its statement Wednesday the bank said a default on that payment could set off a chain of events that might even lead to Greece dropping out of the common European currency used by 18 of its neighbors.
The President of the Athens Chamber of Commerce Constantinos Michalos urged all sides to act sensibly and find a mutually beneficial agreement.
"Greece is at an extremely critical stage at the moment, we are looking for a mutually beneficial agreement with our partners and lenders. However if there is a rift, then it could be catastrophic for the Greek economy and it would be a modern Greek tragedy in the making," said Michalos.
Faymann said that "there is no sense in horizontal cuts... we must find solutions that do not further expand poverty and unemployment."
The 19 Eurozone finance ministers are to meet in Luxembourg Thursday to make a crucial decision on the Greek bailout, as the end of June deadline for Athens to repay about $1.8 billion in debt approaches.
Economic reform talks with international lenders in Brussels collapsed last Sunday, leaving Greece closer than ever to default.
Reports say the negotiations between Greece and the IMF fell apart in less than an hour, with both sides blaming the other.
The banks are demanding that Greece carry out additional economic reforms, including more pension cuts and tax increases.
The Greek government says it already has made enough sacrifices, saying the living standard for Greeks has fallen while unemployment climbed.
European finance officials say Greece's economic reform proposals are incomplete and say they are losing patience with Athens.

The Evil Dead es una franquicia de películas de terror creada por Sam Raimi que consiste en cuatro películas y una serie. Las dos primeras películas giran en torno al Necronomicón Ex-Mortis, un antiguo texto sumerio, que causa estragos a un grupo de habitantes de una cabaña en una zona boscosa de Tennessee, Estados Unidos. El protagonista, Ashley J. Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell), es el único personaje que aparece en todas las entregas de la trilogía original. Dicha trilogía incluye The Evil Dead (1981), Evil Dead II (1987) y Army of Darkness (1992), todas escritas y dirigidas por Raimi, producidas por Robert Tapert y protagonizadas por Campbell. La franquicia ha sido expandida en otros formatos, como  videojuegos y cómics, y un musical hecho en Toronto que contiene material de las tres películas.

La franquicia fue resucitada en 2013 con Evil Dead, como un remake y una vaga continuación de la serie dirigida por Federico Álvarez y producida por Raimi, Campbell y Tapert. Raimi dijo que otras tres entregas de la franquicia están siendo consideradas: una secuela del remake de 2013 por ahora titulada Evil Dead II y dirigida nuevamente por Álvarez, una secuela directa de la trilogía original por ahora titulada Army of Darkness II dirigida y protagonizada por Campbell, y una séptima y final película que fusionaría los relatos de ambas cronologías.

Desarrollo

Within the Woods
En enero de 1978, Bruce Campbell era un expulsado de la universidad que acababa de renunciar a su trabajo como taxista. Sam Raimi estaba estudiando literatura en la Universidad Estatal de Míchigan con Robert Tapert terminando Ciencias Económicas. Mientras ponía los toques finales a It's Murder!, Tapert sugirió hacer un largometraje con Raimi. Él sintió que era imposible alegando que nunca podrían lograr terminarla. A Campbell no le importaba, afirmando que "Yo siempre podía volver a casa." Tapert temía terminar como pescador o cazador, mientras que Raimi tenía miedo de tener que volver a trabajar en la tienda de su padre. Esas fueron las principales razones que convencieron a los tres de llevar adelante el largometraje. Los tres fanes de la comedia, sin embargo, decidieron no hacer una película de este género, ya que consideraban que "un largometraje del Festivak del Asco simplemente no computaba." La idea de hacer una película de terror se planteó luego de que se inspiraran en una escena bien calificada de It's Murder!. Esto hizo que Raimi escribiera el cortometraje Clockwork. Los tres sintieron que el resultado final fue muy efectivo y representaba una nueva dirección que sus películas podrían tomar: la de una semi-exitosa película de terror.

Esto más adelante los llevaría a investigar películas de terror de bajo presupuesto en el teatro local drive-in. Las muchas películas que vieron fueron las "dos películas por dos dólares", dándole la oportunidad de documentar el comportamiento de lo que se convertiría en su principal audiencia. Campbell citó, "el mensaje era muy claro... mantener el ritmo rápido y furioso, y una vez que comienza el terror, nunca aflojar. 'Cuanto más sangriento, mejor' se convirtió en nuestra principal directiva." Entre las películas vistas, están Massacre at Central High y Revenge of the Cheerleaders. La idea de hacer un "prototipo" fue encargada, para demostrar no solo para ellos mismos sino también a los posibles inversores, que ellos eran capaces de hacer un largometraje de terror. El mismo año, en el estado de Míchigan, Raimi había estado estudiando a H. P. Lovecraft y quedó muy impresionado con el Necronomicón, o simplemente El libro de los muertos. A partir de estos ásperos conceptos, él inventó una historia donde un grupo de cuatro amigos sin querer desentierran un cementerio indio y liberan terribles espíritus y demonios. En la primavera de 1978, la filmación de Within the Woods comenzó un fin de semana de tres días, con un presupuesto de 1600 dólares.

Within the Woods, además de servir como prototipo, había impresionado a los cineastas. Para ser una estrategia de marketing que se organizó en su antigua escuela secundaria, tuvo una respuesta positiva.

Financiación
El rodaje fue encargado por primera vez para el verano de 1979 en Míchigan. Con el fin de organizar el presupuesto, Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert y Bruce Campbell compraron algunas publicaciones de la guía de "cómo hacer una película independiente". El presupuesto estaba originalmente centrado en 150.000 dólares mientras se grabe con una cámara Super-8. Sin embargo, debido a las dificultades técnicas, se decidió trasladarla a formato de 16 mm, ya que querían filmar el proyecto al estilo de las muchas películas de bajo presupuesto de la década de 1970. Ya que tenían poca experiencia en la industria cinematográfica, los tres sintieron que debían comprar trajes de negocios y portafolios como un medio para convencer a los inversores de que ellos "tenían todas las respuestas". Un hombre llamado Andy Grainger, quien era amigo de Tapert y propietario de una serie de salas de cine, fue el primer inversor principal. Él dijo: "Muchachos, no importa qué, solo mantengan la sangre corriendo." Como tributo a él, hay una escena en la película ya terminada en donde un viejo proyector de cine
proyecta sangre corriendo por la pantalla.

Lo más importante es que Grainger proporcionó el nombre de una distribuidora en Nueva York a la cual podían acercarse para una posible distribución. La compañía era Levitt-Pickman Films, quien recientemente se había hecho famoso por Groove Tube, protagonizada por un muy joven Chevy Chase. Los cineastas tomaron un tren, ya que sabían que ninguno de sus coches podría hacer un viaje de ida y vuelta por carretera. Una de las exnovias de Campbell llamada Andrea les permitió quedarse en su apartamento. El gato de Andrea se quedaba dormido en la cara de Raimi sin siquiera molestarlo, y Raimi, que es alérgico a los gatos, seguía con sus ojos hinchados completamente cerrados.

Películas

The Evil Dead (1981)

Estrenada en 1981, esta es la primera película de la serie. Introduce al protagonista de la saga, Ash Williams, al libro de los muertos y qué trae con él.

Evil Dead II (1987)

Estrenada en 1987, este filme muestra los terroríficos temas de las transacciones de Ash con el Necronomicón y los demonios.

Army of Darkness (1992)

Estrenada en 1992, esta es el tercer filme de la franquicia (y la última con Ash Williams como protagonista hasta ahora), llevándolo a Ash atrás en el tiempo a Inglaterra en el año 1300 d. C. La película tiene terroríficos atributos, pero está vagamente basada en payasadas y acción.

Evil Dead (2013)

Estrenada en 2013, es el cuarto filme de la franquicia, basada en la original y trata de unos chicos que van a una cabaña en Tennessee, y pronto descubren que una de sus amigas fue poseída por demonios que fueron liberados al leer el Necronomicón.

Futuro
En la premier de la película de 2013 en SXSW, Federico Álvarez anunció que una secuela está en planes.

Sam Raimi confirmó planes para escribir Army of Darkness II con su hermano.

Serie de televisión

Otras películas

Ash vs. Freddy vs. Jason
En el documental The Untold Saga of The Evil Dead Rob Trapert dice que New Line había dicho que querían hacer Ash vs. Freddy vs. Jason: "Pensamos en esto por un segundo, pero sabíamos que habríamos condenado a la franquicia haciéndolo, que no habría razón alguna para reunir a Bruce y Sam para 'Evil Dead IV' o lo que sea ni habría otra razón para regresar y reinventar la original 'Evil Dead' con un nuevo cineasta". Una serie de cómics fue producida basada en este concepto.

Secuelas no oficiales
En Italia, The Evil Dead fue estrenada bajo el título La casa (The  House), y Evil Dead II se convirtió en La casa II. Estas fueron seguidas por tres películas no relacionadas: La casa III - Ghosthouse (1988), de Umberto Lenzi; La casa IV - Witchery (1988) de Fabrizio Laurenti; y La casa V - Beyond Darkness (1990), de Claudio Fragasso. Esto es similar a lo que ocurrió en la serie Living Dead, de George A. Romero, empezando con Zombi II (1979). House II: The Second Story (1987) y The Horror Show (1989) fueron tituladas La casa VI y La casa VII respectivamente en su versión italiana.

Awards Pictures, una empresa que intentó iniciar una nueva línea de películas de la serie en 2004, anunció, en mayo de 2012, tener planes de rodar Evil Dead IV, que no tenía nada que ver con las películas originales. Debido a esto, Sam Raimi demandó a Awards Pictures en un intento de evitar la realización de dicha película, ya que tenía planes de, algún día, filmar Evil Dead IV él mismo. En agosto de 2012, el Juez del Distrito de Estados Unidos, Dale  Fischer, formuló una sentencia judicial que "privaba permanentemente" a Awards Pictures del uso de los nombres Evil Dead, Evil Dead: Genesis of Necronomicon Evil Dead: Genesis of Necronomicon - Part 2 o Evil Dead: Consequences como título o una parte de un título de una película, programa de televisión, videojuego, juego, libro o cualquier otra forma de entretenimiento proporcionada por cualquier medio.

The Cabin in the Woods también cuenta con muchas referencias a la película e incluso cunta Deadites y los árboles poseídos, aunque esto se considera más una referencia que una secuela directa.

Secuelas indirectas
Bruce Campbell dirigió y protagonizó una película llamada My Name Is Bruce. No continúa la historia de Army of Darkness, pero es una representación ficticia de Bruce viviendo su vida cotidiana en la que erróneamente se cree que es tan heroico como el personaje de Ash Williams y es contratado para pelear con un espíritu antiguo. La película fue lanzada en un número limitado de cines el 6 de octubre de 2008 y fue estrenado en DVD y Blu-Ray el 10 de febrero de 2009.

Dynamite Entertainment
En 2004, Dynamite Entertainment adquirió la licencia para publicar títulos basados en Army of Darkness y, en conjunto con Devil's Due Publishing, publicó la mini-serie de cómics Army of Darkness: Ashes 2 Ashes. Una segunda mini-serie, Stop Till You Drop Dead fue hecha en 2005. Más tarde ese mismo año, Dynamite se separó de Devil's Due y empezó a enfocarse en títulos publicados por ellos mismos, como la franquicia Army of Darkness. Esto incluía una serie en desarrollo que empezaría en 2005 en la que se vería a Ash batallando con otro ícono del terror, como Herbert West y Drácula. La serie tuvo trece temas antes de ser reiniciada con un segundo volumen en 2007. La segunda serie tuvo veintisiete temas antes de llegar a su fin. A través de los años, también ha habido varios especiales de una solo episodio, así como cruces con una amplia variedad de personajes, tales como Marvel Zombies, Darkman, Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, Xena, Danger Girl y hasta Barack Obama.

Musical

El equipo productivo de George Reinblatt, Christopher Bond y Frank Cipolla recientemente ha creado una obra Off Broadway basada en la serie de películas. Esta obra neoyorkina fue dirigida por Bond y Hinton Battle, quien también coreografió el show. Ryan Ward personificó a Ash. Vinculando la trama de la película de terror de un grupo de amigos que visitan una cabaña y desatan el mal, las funciones no empezaron hasta las 11 p. m. los viernes y sábados. Los avances comenzaron el 1 de octubre y el espectáculo abrió el 1 de noviembre en el New World Stages. Fue anunciado en 31 de enero de 2007 que Evil Dead cerraría el 17 de febrero de 2007. Los productores de Toronto anunciaron una nueva producción torontoniana del show, también protagonizada por Ryan Ward, en el Diesel Playhouse. La nueva producción comenzó el 1 de mayo de 2007 y terminó el 8 de septiembre de 2007.

The Mystical Sounds of Acid Pauli Still Transfix Listeners Two Decades Later
Grant Albert

Grant Albert | November 25, 2020 | 8:00am
Acid Pauli
Photo by Neal McQueen
From the Burning Man playas to the Magic City, the unspoiled sound of Acid Pauli (AKA Martin Gretschmann) rings eternal — with a name like Acid Pauli, it comes with the terrain. For nearly 30 years, Gretschmann has been serenading crowds far and wide with a sound entirely his own.
Few DJs can warm up a set with delicate harmonies, play heady rhythms, and sprinkle in some Johnny Cash or Cuco Sánchez for good measure, all while keeping the crowd's attention.
"I used to try copying other artists or music, but as I didn't have a real musical education, I was unable to copy what I heard," Gretschmann admits. "Luckily, I'd say this led to my own style."
Ten Moments That Defined Miami Nightlife in the 2010s
The Electric Pickle Reincarnates as ATV Records, With Melinda's in Tow
III Points Will Return in 2021 With the Strokes, Wu-Tang Clan, Eric Prydz, and Others
Born in Bavaria, Gretschmann began his career playing bass in a punk band. In the '80s, he discovered electronic music, and in 1995, he spawned his first alias, Console. The project consisted of little more than an Atari computer, a four-track tape machine, a sampler, and a small synthesizer. But that didn't stop Gretschmann from producing his first album, 1996's Pan or Ama. Even back then, he was sharpening the bohemian style he'd become known for the world over.
As Acid Pauli, Gretschmann's music falls somewhere between planting basil on your windowsill or breaking into a dancing frenzy. It's delicate and floats in the ether before being brought back with long drawn out kicks and slithering bassline.
While his opus, Mst, released in 2012, comes readily equipped with more club-friendly beats, his latest album, Mod, released in September, takes the long-journey approach of using warm, stripped-down sounds.
"All of the tracks have been recorded from my modular synth, and most of the tracks were recorded live," Gretschmann explains. "I set up a new patch on the modular, and then I would record, sometimes more than ten different versions. Later on, I relistened to the recordings and chose one, or I edited two versions into one."
Back in the 1990s, Gretschmann could have easily followed the lead of the German techno's forefathers and stick to the fast, ironclad techno that was sweeping the world.
"I like movement, but I don't like aggression or harshness anymore," he admits. "That's why [my music] is somewhere between ambient and techno."
Instead, Gretschmann took the fear-and-loathing approach, eventually landing on Acid Pauli.
"It was a very good friend of mine who shouted 'Acciiiiidd Pauliiii' at a small illegal party in Munich, some 20 years ago," he recalls. "I was playing with a laptop only. The software was Rebirth, which emulates the acid machines: Roland TB-303, TR909, and 808. Everything you did with this software sounded like acid house. The nickname Paul was given to me by some schoolmates."
During the lockdown, Gretchmann has kept busy helping remix "Wir sind uns lang verloren gegangen" off the soundtrack of Netflix's Babylon Berlin. On his rework, Gretchmann keeps Natalia Mateo's 1920s Weimar Republic jazzy vocal delivery but adds a steady kick and welcoming synths.
"I always loved this period in which the series takes part, especially the music and how it sounded back then," he says. "I have to admit, I had quite a struggle with the chorus at some point, but in the end, I was happy with the remix."
Gretchmann has also kept busy making music out of 19th-century transcendentalism while working on a radio art project making music using the German translation of Henry David Thoreau's Walden. The project totals over 16 hours and attempts to answer Thoreau's 150-year-old question: How should and will I live?
"I did a few mixes and learned a new software," Gretchmann says. "I have just been taking some time off, which was a very good thing to do. I realized that I want to adjust certain things in my life, so I am looking forward to some changes and new directions in the future."
As Acid Pauli, Gretchmann is no stranger to Miami partygoers. In fact, the now-closed Electric Pickle holds a special place in his heart.
"The first time I came to play in Miami was in 2012," he recalls. "I played the Electric Pickle, and I remember having a similar feeling there as I used to have in Berlin clubs. I really fell in love with the Pickle and its people, and love is probably the best influence for whatever there is."
Gretschmann is scheduled to make his III Points debut next year. So how's it going to feel to get behind the decks once again?
"Please ask this question again, after it happens," Gretschmann responds. "But I hope it's gonna feel good."

Taco Bell's Newest Permanent Menu Item Is Just $1
It's the least they can do for taking away the Mexican Pizza.
By Megan Schaltegger
Published on 11/10/2020 at 5:20 PM
Taco Bell recently did the unthinkable and removed potatoes and Mexican Pizzas (among other options) from its menus nationwide. Since then, the Mexican-style fast food joint has been working tirelessly to make up for the losses with returning favorites and new menu adds alike.
Fresh off the heels of the Toasted Cheddar Chalupa's reappearance, Taco Bell is releasing a new Chicken Chipotle Melt. And while nothing could fill the void left behind by the chain's Fiesta Potatoes, this will likely numb the pain. And not just because these tortillas are filled with a decadent-sounding chipotle sauce and gooey cheddar (but, yes, that too). Here's the real kicker: They'll only run you a dollar.
The Chicken Chipotle Melts will be a permanent part of T-Bell's Cravings Value Menu, according to a press release, which means they aren't going anywhere. Each one is filled with all-white meat grilled chicken, creamy chipotle sauce, and cheddar inside a warm flour tortilla. In case you missed the first mention, and just want to revel in excitement along with us, each one is just $1.
Wine and Cheeseburger

This isn't, however, Taco Bell's only addition as of late. The Chalupa slinger is also selling Loaded Nachos and a Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito, but on a more limited basis. The former is heading to both Atlanta and Nashville restaurants while the latter is available across the Houston-area.
As if the Double Steak Grilled Cheese Burrito weren't enticing in name alone (it is), just wait 'til you hear its contents: double helpings of seasoned rice and marinated steak with crunchy red strips, that aforementioned chipotle sauce, nacho cheese sauce, sour cream, and a three-cheese blend all wrapped inside a flour tortilla. You can (and should) upgrade to spicy style with jalapeños grilled right into the burrito's outer layer of cheese.
The nachos are also brimming with ingredients. We're talking refried beans, nacho cheese sauce, a three-cheese blend, sour cream, tomatoes, and guacamole. You can get 'em for $1.99 or upgrade to the Seasoned Beef Loaded Nachos for $2.49.

Убийство на Коранском мосту () — преступления против военнопленных резервистов югославской армии, совершённые в городе Карловац хорватскими солдатами и служащими МВД 21 сентября 1991 года.

Во время войны в Хорватии город Карловац находился под контролем сил Национальной гвардии Хорватии и отрядов хорватского Министерства внутренних дел. Близ города находились казармы Югославской народной армии. 21 сентября 1991 года на мосту через реку Корану хорватскими солдатами и полицейскими были остановлены два грузовика югославской армии, которые перевозили нескольких военнослужащих и резервистов из казармы «Мекушье» в казарму «Логориште».

После остановки грузовиков хорватские солдаты потребовали от югославских военнослужащих сложить оружие, обещая в обмен на это отпустить их. После того, как солдаты ЮНА выполнили это требование, часть из них была схвачена и отвезена в местный отдел МВД. Оставшиеся, в основном резервисты из населенного сербами села Крняк, были убиты четырьмя хорватами, расстрелявшими резервистов из автоматов. 13 человек погибли, троим удалось спрыгнуть с моста и спастись. Ещё один резервист выжил, закрытый телами погибших.

Под давлением со стороны международного сообщества Окружная прокуратура Карловаца в 1992 году выдвинула обвинение против бойца отдельного подразделения МВД Карловаца Михайло Храстова. Спустя год он был признан невиновным и в последующие несколько лет получил ряд наград, в том числе был награждён президентом Хорватии Франьо Туджманом Орденом Николы Шубича-Зринского. На процессе в 2002 году Храстов вновь был признан невиновным в убийстве резервистов. Аналогичное решение было принято и на суде в 2007 году. Затем это дело рассматривал Верховный суд Хорватии. Трижды он признавал Храстова виновным — дважды в 2009 году и в 2012 году, когда он был приговорен к четырём годам тюремного заключения. Первые два приговора из 2009 года были отменены Конституционным судом Хорватии.

Back in the '80s there was no game cooler than a beat 'em up. Part of what made them so fun is the fact multiple people could play at once and work together for a common goal. Sure, multiplayer wasn't uncommon at arcades, but there was something to be said for four people taking control of the X-Men or Simpsons in an attempt to complete the adventure. Capcom had among the best games, so Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a welcome title. Combining seven different titles, does Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle seem like a must for fans or did time kill these titles?
One thing that stands out about Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle is a lot of love went into this game. Players have the ability to play online, a feature that many recent entries oddly lack, or play offline, another equally confusing omission. This allows players to get the full experience regardless of their set up and makes for a fantastic overall adventure.
From there, players are given a lot of control over each title. There is a difficulty slider, various life set ups, the ability to control the number of potential players and more. Arguably the most surprising and welcome addition is the ability to swap between the Japanese and English versions of the game. Not only does this change the games' logos from the selection screen, there are a couple differences that allows veterans to experience something different.
Even if there is a lot of good, there is still some issues with certain titles. For the most part, these games feel quite dated. They're fairly slow, at times clunky, with odd mechanics or unable to do seemingly simple tasks. None of these things are enough to ruin the experience, it just might limit your enjoyment.
Even though these games are held back by their age, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle has the good sense to diversify, instead of doubling down on a specific title. Knights of the Round has different player stats and some weapons, Captain Commando takes place in a more futuristic setting, Warriors of Fate has mounts, with Final Fight being the most traditional experience. This choice allows every game to feel different, even if they're conceptually the same. Sure, you're punching and kicking your way to victory, but what that means varies depending on the game.
In addition to the more well known games, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle includes Armored Warriors and Battle Circuit. Both of these have not appeared on consoles and will be, for many, their first experience with either title.
Armored Warriors is a mech based fighter, complete with multiple units with their own quirks. Stages consist of fighting other mechs, breaking buildings for rewards and doing everything in your power to make it out of the war alive. Units also have weapons, so if you don't want to bash a robot in, you can opt to shoot them. It makes for a different but familiar experience.
As for Battle Circuit, it's a title that shows off Capcom's quirky side. With weird characters, one of which is a plant, players need to work together to stop a mad genius. Since this is the most recent title, it also features some more modern features. There is cash that can be used for upgrades, said upgrades use more advanced moves, such as quarter turn and punch, with even basic functions like dash being present (Armored Warriors also has dash). It also has some more amusing fights and experiences, resulting it in being a welcome addition to the collection.
Overall, Capcom Beat 'Em Up Bundle isn't perfect but it hits the right spots. The ability to play online or with others offline is the best of both worlds. A diverse selection of games makes similar experiences feel different, where as multiple versions of a single game would feel like more of the same. While some of the games feel dated, the addition of two previously unreleased to console titles makes it a big enough experience to make it worth the cost of entry.

Lori Pratico born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania began her artistic career as a billboard artist when billboards were climbed and painted. Self taught, this hands on experience in an industry that required raw talent and plain guts was invaluable, and pushed Lori to explore ideas and techniques that were non-traditional and experimental in her artwork.
In 2015 Lori launched a nationwide mural project called Girl Noticed and has created murals in 10 states to date. Hoffman's Chocolates chose Lori and her project to be part of their ArtBar campaign, featuring her artwork alongside Guy Harvey, Lebo, Federico Uribe and Clyde Butcher on candy bars. Marie Claire Magazine featured the project in their May 2016 issue. Gallery 2014 in Hollywood, FL has represented Lori since 2013.
Her name has been added to the American Art Collectors Portrait Artist Directory, and has been featured in Juxtapoz and Professional Artist magazine. Lori is a member of the South Florida Artist Association, and the Portrait Society of America.
She believes in giving back to her community. She is the Art Director of the Florida Youth Pride Coalition where she mentors youth age 10-24. and helped facilitate ArtServe's Eco-Art Therapy program at the Sunset School in Fort Lauderdale, FL, which services children and young adults with emotional and behavioral disabilities. At the Coral Springs Museum of Art, Lori led a team of artists in a groundbreaking program called Kaleidoscope, bringing hands on art activities and a museum experience to local autistic children.
