Borderlands 3: Crossplay not on PlayStation
by top100arena in June 18, 2021 June 18, 2021
Cross platform play on Borderlands 3 will be rolled out on all platforms except for Sony's PlayStation. This news comes straight from the twitter account of Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford who tweeted out that crossplay functionality will come to most platforms, however, the developers were asked to exclude PS4 and PS5.
Sony hasn't always been too keen on introducing crossplay on its consoles, especially for players on Xbox, PC, and Nintendo platforms (which is nearly all of them). However, the tech giant seems to have softened its stance when it comes to popular titles such as Call of Duty, Fortnite, and Rocket League.
This came at a price for developers – something only Sony is guilty of engaging in. More importantly, Sony has been accused of 'playing favorites' when it comes to choosing games that were allowed to use this feature.
Shawn Layden, the chairman of Sony Interactive Entertainment Worldwide Studios, defended this action by stating that cross-play had 'discrete aspects' that required too much decision making and should not be hastily done.
It's worth noting that Borderlands 3 currently supports cross-play between consoles within the same generation – so Xbox One players can play together with Xbox Series X – but cannot play Borderlands with players on PC and PlayStation. However, inter-platform support will be rolled out soon.
In a recent Epic Games v. Apple trial, Epic revealed that they had to pay additional revenue to Sony in order to support crossplay. So if someone played on PlayStation consoles but paid in iPhone, this would trigger additional compensation.
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney mentioned that Sony is the only platform that currently engages in this behavior.
This 'revenue sharing' policy may be one of the reasons why Take Two decided to leave PlayStation out of Borderlands 3 cross play.
It's unclear who made the decision to exclude PS4 and PS5 because Sony and 2K haven't shared any further details.
Some experts speculate that cross-play for PlayStation may be added to Borderlands later down the line. This could be due to a game-breaking bug that may have introduced a critical issue for support on Sony consoles. Randy Pitchford's decision to go public with his statement also raised eyebrows. You would expect decisions of this nature to play out behind closed doors, but Pitchford isn't shying away from inviting public speculation.
Borderlands 3 was released on PlayStation 4, PC, macOS, and Xbox One in September 2019. A Google Stadia version arrived two months later in December. Since then, the game has also made its way to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2020.
Borderlands 3 is the fourth entry in Gearbox in the Borderlands series. It features characters from Tales from the Borderlands, an episodic point and click spinoff developed by Telltale Games.
Here's hoping that Borderlands 3 will get full cross-play support on all consoles, including PlayStation players, but this may take some time though. Until then, PlayStation players can enjoy multiplayer with each other and keep their fingers crossed for Sony and 2K to give in to popular demand.

Educators and policymakers are increasingly looking to personalized learning as a strategy to improve student learning and engagement, but designing and implementing effective personalized learning models is challenging, requiring schools to simultaneously tackle issues of technology, human capital, and how they use time. Elliot Sanchez founded mSchool to help schools and community organizations make personalized learning experiences available to students. Launched in fall 2013, mSchool has since grown to serve hundreds of students in schools and community-based settings. Sanchez, 27, was raised in the New Orleans area, attended Loyola University in New Orleans, and began his career teaching in a New Orleans middle school. He lives in New Orleans.
We make personalized learning incredibly simple. We help make sure the right lesson goes to the right student at the right time and make sure that happens effortlessly. That allows us to bring really high-quality personalized learning to students in all kinds of programs: afterschool, during the school day, and during downtime when kids aren't participating in other learning opportunities.
How did you come up with the idea/model for mSchool?
I was teaching at Booker T. Washington alternative middle school in New Orleans. I had the same problem every teacher has: I had 30 students who came into my class at 30 different levels, learning at 30 different paces, and I had to try to design one lesson for all 30 of those kids--but no one lesson is right for all of them. A few years later I started working in research and policy at the Louisiana Department of Education. I saw that even when we used technology in schools, the average result for students weren't improving. When it came to technology, most schools were focused on "finding the right solution"--but there is no one right solution. The real goal should be finding what's right for each student. And as we get more and more good options, this gets more complex. MSchool helps schools and other education providers find the right solutions for each student.
Why did you start out working in community centers rather than schools?
We started there because that was a place where we could reach students immediately. Schools can be hesitant to try to new things, but community centers were looking for things for students to do. We realized that if we did our job right we could make learning as fun as the other things typically do in community centers: as fun as basketball, or foos ball. We started in July and about 6 months later we realized the students were learning 3 times faster than in a traditional class.
After our first year, schools saw the results, and we've had more demand from schools to incorporate this into the school site and day. But our goal is to make it so simple you don't need all the things you'd find in a typical school in order to provide quality instruction.
What are some of mSchool's accomplishments to date?
This past February, we opened the program up more broadly, and doubled the number of students served in the first 4 weeks. We currently have over 20,000 students on our waiting list in 25 cities across 4 continents. We're looking for people who really want to provide a high-quality learning experience to kids, no matter what location or setting they're in.
We realize that our program needs to be flexible so that it can work without all the infrastructure you have in a regular school day. Since the beginning we've been working to take the best parts of the math program and package them in a way that's simple to roll out. We have computers in a box we can send people. The software is online. We've also developed a social-emotional curriculum over the past four years that goes along with it, because we realized that providing students with tools to think about their learning has a huge impact on their success.
The biggest challenge early on was figuring out what students really needed. We could have students come in and take a test that told us what they understood, but it never told us what they need to be successful. We did a lot of learning about what was working for students, where they needed practice, where they needed extra support to work together, etc.
As a college student I volunteered in the local public schools, so I saw what the New Orleans school system looked like, and there were a lot of things I thought could be better. Then Hurricane Katrina happened and I, like everyone else in the city, came back to an entirely different landscape. Children who returned to the city had a lot of symptoms of PTSD, and there were huge missing pieces in the education and social support system that needed to be completely rebuilt.
At the same time, Jonathan Kozol came to speak at the university, and I realized that I had an amazing opportunity to take part in rebuilding New Orleans and working to build a more equitable system for our students. After college I started working at Booker T, and then I spent some time working in KIPP schools before moving to the Louisiana Department of Education.
Beyond your work with mSchool, what do you see as the opportunities and potential pitfalls of personalized learning more broadly?
The big pitfall is that we start to get focused on technology or solutions for their own sake as opposed to focusing on what really meets the needs of students. Technology is making a lot of things possible for the first time, and people are excited to explore those things. But I don't know that we've been critically reflective about what's best for kids.
In terms of the opportunity, I believe that we're a short time away from having school systems where we can be confident that every student is getting the basic understanding they need to flourish: In the near future, we'll no longer have to worry so much about getting students to basic proficiency and remediating deficits, so we can start from day one on diving into the deeper applications of what we want children to know.
One of my idols in education is Sugata Mitra and his work with the Hole in the Wall computers in the developing world. He set up computers in rural villages across the world. He didn't leave instructions, there was no teacher, no classroom. In a few days these students--with no prior experience--had learning not only how to get on the internet and get information, they'd figured out how to hack into the computers. So much of the conversation in education is about how do we as educators bring students tools--but this work is a fantastic example of how much potential students have to drive learning themselves.
The world is moving so quickly--it's hard to say. I hope that mSchool is able to help tens of thousands of kids across the world access fantastic education even in places where you normally wouldn't expect it. That we'll help kids learn new skills and explore possibilities in exciting ways we haven't begun to think of yet.
I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but before my career as an educator, back when I was 12 years old, I was a nationally ranked competitive magician. The first business I started was performing at restaurants and birthday parties in high school. It might seem like a strange place to start, but a lot of those entrepreneurial skills have translated over to my work in education.

The Spring 2009 issue speaks from the intersection of hope and hardship, exploring the teachable moments inherent in Barack Obama's historic election, as well as the economic crisis.
Stories on students' homophobia, lonely English language learners and bullying illustrate the work left to do in promoting equity in schools and beyond, even in the wake of civil rights milestones.
This issue also explores how economic inequality impacts the classroom, offering advice for teachers helping students cope. From Chicago to rural West Virginia, we offer a glimpse into students' lives and the quest to transcend stereotypes associated with social class.
The 2008 election showed us that true progress in the struggle for equality is possible. Yet there is still much work to be done.

For almost seven years (!) I've been taking fellow design lovers along on walking tours, bike rides, and light-rail field trips to visit historical landmarks, unfinished buildings, new restaurants and bars, freshly planted parks, abandoned subway stations and many, many more places all throughout Los Angeles (but mostly on the east side of town). It's all been part of the nonprofit I founded called design east of La Brea, or de LaB, where we highlight the work of designers living and working east of La Brea.
After hosting more than 100 events, we've got something really exciting coming up this fall. Last year we were awarded a $20,000 NEA grant for a new programming track called Making LA, where we toured 10 projects by architects, artists, and designers that are improving communities throughout the east side of Los Angeles. After hosting 10 incredible programs, the series will culminate in the Making LA conference, a one-day event on Friday, November 7 where we're bringing together designers and city leaders to talk about the future of the city in four critical areas: Density, Transportation, Community, and Water.
I'm pulling together the Transportation track (as you might expect) and we have some pretty amazing speakers, including a keynote from new LADOT head Seleta Reynolds, car-free comedian Kristina Wong, South LA transportation advocate Tafarai Bayne, an incredible story about how hard it really is to improve bus shelters in LA, and my dream panel on the future of LA streets including representatives from the Mayor's Great Streets Initiative, Los Angeles Walks, People St, and streetscape projects on Broadway and Figueroa.
To sweeten the deal, I have a super secret discount code just for my friends which includes free admission to the VIP party on the evening before the conference. If you'd like to take advantage of it, drop me a line. And if you'd like to spread the word, here's a handy graphic for you to post or share with friends. I hope to see you at Making LA!

VAWA LETTER
All My Relations Team
Bonus Episode: Celebrate Indigenous People's Day, Not Columbus
MATIKA: Five myths about Christopher Columbus. Columbus proved that the Flat Earth Theory was wrong.
ADRIENNE: That's a lie. People by that time like people from like 3000 bc knew that the world was round, and like definitely by the 1400s people were very aware that the world was round. Dude didn't prove anything.
MATIKA: Columbus was Italian.
ADRIENNE: No he wasn't. He was born in Genoa, which was an independent republic and is now part of Italy, but at the time was not, and he sailed for Spain and Spain was the one who gave him all the money for the trip and supported him. And there's even debate of if he was born in Genoa or was born in Portugal or Spain, so it's very unclear, and he wasn't like a proud Italian by any accounts because Italy didn't exist yet.
MATIKA: Columbus was a successful businessman and a model leader.
ADRIENNE: No he wasn't he wasn't even a good businessman. He had to like beg hella people to give him money for his trip and then once he got there he just like enslaved everyone and wanted all sorts of people to give him gold, and then by the time he got back, Spain was so embarrassed by his actions that they took away his gubernatorial title.
MATIKA: Let's just do one more. In 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and discovered America.
ADRIENNE: He didn't even set foot in America. He was in the Caribbean. He never actually set foot on the continent that we call America, and didn't discover anything because there were a hell of people there already.
MATIKA: You cannot discover that which exists.
Yeah. I'm sorry. Or else I'd be walking into people's houses all the time that I thought were nice and discovering them and just living there. Itʻs mine now.
MATIKA: Let's just start by trying to unpack this complicated relationship with Christopher Columbus what is the deal with Columbus?
ADRIENNE: Columbus has become a symbol, and a symbol for a lot of different communities, primarily a symbol of pride for the Italian American community because they were the ones who advocated for Columbus Day to be a holiday, it came out of the Italian American community. So they see it as this source of pride as a time to be able to celebrate what it means to be Italian and Italian American, which I think is really important and celebrating heritage and pride is really important. But I think because of all the reasons we laid out in the intro, that Columbus is not the best representative of that Italian pride. And on top of it, the entire month of October is Italian American Heritage Month, so, they have a whole month to be able to celebrate and totally should celebrate. But, to me, if I were from a community, I would not want the representative of my community to be a genocidal guy who got lost and ended up in the Caribbean.
MATIKA: There's this very romantic story that we tell to grade schoolers. In 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue and this story is the first story that we really I think begin to hold on to as Americans, this American story of discovery. And we remember the story, we remember the song from grade school. And this. The story goes that this place didn't have people here and that it was actually discovered. That's a wild narrative. Wasn't there, I mean there was full grown cities here with millions of people, there were millions of people living on this continent. And it just seems so strange to me. Also, that Columbus never set foot here. So, the problem with this story is that it's a part of this American historical amnesia that we talk about. And it's also the story of Indigenous erasure. And what happens when we do this over and over and over again. Every year, is we continue to perpetuate racism.
ADRIENNE: I mean there's not much else to say. Besides that, yes, this is a form of Indigenous erasure This is a form of racism, to continue to celebrate Columbus, and it's so true that this narrative is the foundational narrative that we are taught in schools and I think that a lot of people today, a lot of teachers are probably complicating the myth, a little bit I would hope, but there is still this idea that we need to teach our students that Columbus was an explorer who came to this land, and that was somehow important when the reality is the important story is what was happening here. It is the fact that there were millions of Indigenous people here that there were cities like Teotihuacan that there were cities like Cahokia, that there was what the Europeans would consider quote unquote civilization was happening here so it wasn't like Columbus brought, anything that wasn't already happening here, anything that was good, or advanced or advanced, I mean, it's the story of Indigenous erasure, which I think is the important point to focus on, and just how pervasive this myth is even if people think that they have moved past it or question it or think, or dismiss it. The fact that we still have Columbus Day on the calendar as a national holiday says how deeply this is ingrained into the American narrative, the Doctrine of Discovery, the foundational idea that if you are coming to a land that is not being quote unquote used that you have a right to claim it. And that is the foundation of all of settler colonialism, in what is currently known as the United States.
MATIKA: And it's celebrated. I mean, you go all over the United States. And there's a there's a pioneer narrative, a discovery narrative, there's every single small town I drive into in America has some sort of placard that talks about when the city was established and when it was pioneered and this is so damaging and I don't want to go into all the ways that it's damaging for our communities because we've said that before, but we do have to acknowledge that this is a part of that.
ADRIENNE: Yeah.
MATIKA: Yeah. And why is it, do you think people don't want to let this go?
ADRIENNE: I really think that, as I was talking about that Columbus has become a symbol to a lot of people so for Italian Americans he's a symbol of pride. But for a lot of folks who are holding on to these myths of America, of a spirit of discovery of white supremacy I mean it's a lot of folks who are very afraid of this quote unquote overly PC culture that like if we change this what's next? And those are the folks who have a lot of fears about just creating egalitarian society and creating an integrated society,
MATIKA: here is just this whole thing that happened and is continuing to happen, which is that Native people are left out of the dialog they're left out of the curricula and we're consistently invisible in most spaces. And so I can all I can kind of maybe believe that people don't know better. I find it really hard to believe because you know I'm so deeply ingrained in, and contemporary Native America. I just can't imagine that you've managed to make it into your adult life without knowing the truth, but you know four days ago National Geographic published another video basically reiterating the same story. And so, you know, national syndications, textbooks, the content creators have a responsibility to tell the truth.
ADRIENNE: Yeah. And I often wonder if you went to the Columbus Day parade and started interviewing people on the street who were so proud of Columbus if they actually do know the real story. And to me, I'm like you where I find it hard to believe that at this point in their life they wouldn't, but it's very possible that they still have the ingrained myths of the great explorer Columbus who was Italian. And even though all of this is well documented. And like you said the, the diaries of Columbus and his crew and his relatives, all document the atrocities that he committed in great detail like none of this is a secret, and he was not ashamed of it at the time at all.
MATIKA: No, the thing is we're not making this up.
ADRIENNE: We're not just being salty like this is like actually history.
MATIKA: You know I did a project on this I made a short film about it and went to Columbus Circle in New York City. And we really, we asked over 100 different participants why do we celebrate Columbus Day and we also had some people with us and we asked, and they were you know, presenting as Native people wearing regalia. What is their ethnic background and the only person that thought that they weren't native was another Native person, every other single person guests some other background and people said things like, Okay, I get that that person is Native American but honestly, I really what I know about Native Americans I know this is gonna sound crass but, you know, we came here, we stole all their land we killed them all and the ones that lived now operate casinos. Another person said, I didn't know America had Indigenous. The responses that we received were so heartbreaking I remember the co host of the show sitting on the sidewalk at the end of that night just bawling her eyes out because she couldn't believe how ignorant people were about how-
ADRIENNE: And how open they are about their ignorance.
MATIKA: And not ashamed.
ADRIENNE: You actually gave a speech at Indigenous peoples day rally in Phoenix, and I think your words from that speech are really beautiful and I'm wondering if you could share some of them with us.
MATIKA: Yeah, I can share a few paragraphs from that. I started by saying, our words carry medicine. We use our words to pray for our children. We use our words to heal. We use our words to uplift and inspire our words though, can carry poison as well. On this particular day, a national holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus. Consider Columbus's words as he sought Spanish royal support for exploration in the Western Hemisphere and promised them as much gold as they need, and as many slaves as they ask Observing a holiday n honor of Christopher Columbus perpetuates and exploits ignorance and hurts Native Americans by reinforcing our absence from our national consciousness and celebrating our genocide and it hurts non Natives by reinforcing the arrival of a European as a more impressive story, and then digital story of survival, recovery, and progress. If Columbus had his way we'd all be dead. But indigenous ratio from national consciousness has a similar effect. We can see the Columbus legacy and that most people don't consider our existence. When we as a nation celebrate Columbus, we celebrate a false premise of Indian disappearance and insignificance this day of bizarrely selective remembrance and non critical insensitive thinking continues to silence, and to render us supposedly invisible and extinct. This is more than a bother. The Indigenous story is a more accurate story. And it's a story that we all deserve to hear. So let's begin to write and speak a healing narrative that honors Native people. Let's get to know each other, thank your Native brothers and sisters for welcoming you to their land. Today, Indigenous Peoples Day, is a good day for that.
MATIKA: It's funny that it was five years ago that we were talking about that. And we keep talking about it. In fact, I think another good point is that every year on Christopher Columbus Day The president releases a statement.
ADRIENNE: Every year on Columbus Day, the current president of the United States releases a proclamation because it is a national holiday. And those proclamations have looked drastically different in the last few years. And there's this great article from CNN by Holly Yan, that is called across the US, where cities ditch Columbus Day to honor those who really discovered America. It says, President Benjamin Harrison started celebrating Columbus Day in 1882 to mark the 400th anniversary of Columbus's landing in the Bahamas. In 1934, President Franklin D Roosevelt made Columbus Day a national holiday. Since 1971, presidents have traditionally written a proclamation for every second Monday of October, but the proclamations from the last two presidents couldn't be more different. Last year, President Donald Trump drew criticism when his first Columbus Day proclamation didn't even mention Native Americans, quote, the permanent arrival of Europeans to the Americas was a transformative event that undeniably and fundamentally changed the course of human history and set the stage for the development of our great nation. Trump wrote quote, therefore on Columbus Day we honor the skilled navigator and, sorry, I canʻt even read it with a straight face the skilled navigator and man of faith, who's courageous feet brought together continents and has inspired countless others to pursue their dreams and convictions, even in the face of extreme doubt and tremendous adversity.
MATIKA: Ugh gross.
ADRIENNE: Skilled navigator he got lost. A man of faith, dude was literally taking Indigenous women to his crew for them to sexually assault them, like, yeah.
MATIKA: Yeah pursue their dreams and convictions.
ADRIENNE: So contrast that with President Barack Obama's proclamation a year earlier which lauded Columbus's ambition, but also acknowledged the uglier side of Columbus's voyages, he said quote, as we mark this rich history we must also acknowledge the pain and suffering reflected in the stories of Native Americans who had long resided on this land prior to the arrival of European newcomers. Obama wrote citing violence deprivation and disease. As we reflect on the adventurers throughout history who charted new courses and sought new heights, let us remember the communities who suffered and let us pay tribute to our heritage and embrace the multiculturalism that defines the American experience. Personally I don't think Obama's statement is that much better. He just sort of acknowledges that suffering happened but as we reflect on the adventurers throughout history who charted new courses and sought new heights.
MATIKA: Remember the communities who suffered.
ADRIENNE: Yeah, that's fine.
MATIKA: We, we have to call genocide genocide, we have to call rapists rapists. And we cannot begin the path to reparations or restitution until we begin to name it properly.
ADRIENNE: So I've written like eight different blog posts about Columbus Day through the years of the blog. And on one of the last ones that I spent time writing, I instead of doing what we just did and breaking down all the myths of Columbus and talking about why he's bad, I decided to just share a bunch of stories of my Native friends who are doing cool stuff. And it was like really simple little things like oh I have a friend who is a badass lawyer in DC who's working on tribal law cases. I have a friend who's getting two PhDs one in the US and one in New Zealand and is amazing and just like these short little snippets of the diversity of amazing Native people that I have in my life, and I ended that blog post with this quote, which I think is what this is all about is that when we reframe the conversation from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day, that is a really powerful act and that centers, our stories, and our experiences, is, and is something that we really need to be moving towards because of these hundreds and hundreds of years of intense Indigenous erasure. So at the end of that post I put. So why do I share all these stories, because this is the Indian country I know these are the survivors, the anomalies, the surprises on Earth. That's a quote from Louise Eric. This is the progress that we represent the side effect of the narrative of Columbus Day is an erasure of our existence back then, and an erasure of our contemporary existence. Now, the Americans existed before 1492, and despite the best efforts of colonization, we continue to exist, we continue to resist and we continue to thrive. These snapshots offer just a fraction of my Native friends and colleagues and an even smaller sliver of all of the amazing people that make up Native America. We are still here, we're not all sitting around in teepees wearing feathered headdresses or speaking in broken Tonto speak. We're able to combine Western education and traditional education as a means to move our communities forward. When Columbus landed on the shores of the Bahamas over 500 years ago, he started a legacy of genocide that nearly wiped out the Indigenous peoples of the Americas. We weren't supposed to survive, but here we are. These young Native leaders are bringing Indigenous perspectives, innovations and ways of knowing to science technology, business law, education arts and more. And this is something to celebrate. So today, instead of celebrating a murdering Explorer, quote unquote, I choose to celebrate indigenous peoples.
MATIKA: So today, or this week Indigenous Peoples Day. We encourage all of our young activists and our friends and our colleagues and all those that are fighting the good fight to stay in the fight, that it's worth it, that changing the narrative matters, we hear you, we see you, and we support you and you're not in this fight alone.
ADRIENNE: Now, there have been folks in our communities doing this work for decades and decades, and there will be folks doing this work until we don't need to do it anymore. And I think that for all the Native students who are the one Native student on our campus and are trying to fight to change Columbus Day to indigenous peoples day just know that there are many other campuses that have been through this there are other Native students who can help you through this process, talk to you about the strategies they employed and write letters on your behalf. There's a community out there who can really work with you to make this happen. Same for cities that are trying to change the holiday on the city calendar. There are incredible models in Seattle and Minneapolis and other cities to look to how to do this, organizing work and how to get it done. And it's definitely possible.
MATIKA: So keep up the good fight, relatives.
ADRIENNE: And happy Indigenous Peoples Day.

COMMENTS: I used it with the malibu bottle and they look pretty together with no leaking. A minor problem is that the opening is a bit smaller than I thought so it's a bit difficult to squeeze out the thick cream that I made. However I think these will be perfect for lighter cream or lotion.
"Do you have a 22/400 top with a bigger hole for sugar scrubs or thick creams?"
"Do you have shrink bands that fit this lid?"
Staff Answer We recommend the 95 x 55 shrink band for this top and 8 oz. Malibu Tottle bottle.

GSI Technology Reports Developments Related to Pending Patent Litigation with Cypress Semiconductor
26-Jan-2012 | Source : AG-IP News | Visits : 7693
SUNNYVALE, Ca - GSI Technology Inc. today responded to Cypress Semiconductor Corp.'s January 18, 2012 press release regarding the status of pending patent litigation between the two companies, according to a press release by GSI.
Lee-Lean Shu, GSI's President and CEO, noted, "In its most recent press release, Cypress has once again chosen to make misleading statements in the press rather than fight the lawsuit on the merits before the International Trade Commission (ITC). Their press release states: 'Cypress expands its patent infringement complaint.' In truth," said Shu, "contrary to Cypress' report, the judge in the ITC proceeding specifically denied Cypress' request to expand its complaint – Order No. 20: Denying Complainant Cypress Semiconductor Corp.'s Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint (dated January 4, 2012). Further, the only recent order allowing the expansion of the pleadings in the proceeding was an order allowing GSI to amend its responsive pleading – Order No. 22: Granting Respondents' Motion for Leave to Amend Their Responses to the Second Amended Complaint and Notice of Investigation (dated January 9, 2012).
"The facts are that GSI has had a remarkable series of victories during the pre-trial phase of the ITC proceeding," continued Shu. "In another recent order, for example, the judge also denied a motion by Cypress that would have expanded the scope of Cypress' discovery. In addition, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) has issued initial office actions rejecting a number of claims of the Cypress patents as invalid on the basis of prior art, as GSI announced in November."
"It continues to be Cypress' strategy to attempt to intimidate customers and prospective purchasers of GSI's technologically superior products by making misleading statements about developments in the patent litigation," said Didier Lasserre, GSI's Vice President of Worldwide Sales. "As the March 2012 trial date approaches, Cypress seems to be ratcheting up these efforts," he added.
"We remain confident in our position on the merits of the case and look forward to prevailing at the trial in March," said Shu. "In fact," he added, "on January 19, 2012, we filed motions for summary determination seeking a pre-trial ruling that GSI and the other respondents do not infringe any of the Cypress patents asserted against them."

Madrid is a magnificent, sunny city filled with museums, broad avenues and charming cafes. This cosmopolitan Spanish capital offered little hint of the political firestorm and constitutional crisis that is playing out. This was the backdrop for my speech to the Chief Marketing Officers (CMO's) of many of Spain's leading law firms. The event was held in an architecturally award-winning building that houses the offices of Perez Llorca, one of Spain's largest and most prominent law firms. The firm's reception and meeting areas are in a private two-story granite structure attached to a glass office tower. The space looks like a contemporary pyramidal chamber–emblematic of the Spanish penchant for blending the past and future.
It was surprising that so many old-line Spanish firms have Chief Marketing Officers (CMO's). Many CMO's were formerly fee-earning attorneys before transitioning to their new role. This paralleled the career tracks of attendees at my talk to the UK Law Society Education and Professional Advancement Committee where many former practicing attorneys–almost all female–had transitioned to advancement positions. I asked both groups whether their professional colleagues accord them the same status–and pay– as when they were fee earners. The unanimous answer was 'no.' And while most said that having been a practicing attorney enhances their credibility within their firms, they are still swimming against a stiff current. Several told me privately they feel like 'window dressing' and are frustrated by firm culture that regards non-fee earners as second-class citizens and views their roles as 'mommy track.' Most law firms in Spain relegate non-rainmakers–and 'non-lawyers'–to second-class status. This is a holdover of legal culture around the globe that is being transformed by clients and entrepreneurs that favor a corporate structure where diversity, collaboration, digitization, and a different performance/reward process accords equal status between those that practice law and others that deliver it.
My remarks focused on the importance of firm differentiation. A quick look at major firm websites reveals common proclamations of 'practice excellence,' 'elite talent,' 'partnerships with clients,' and 'cutting-edge technology to promote efficiency.' These claims are devoid of evidence–curious since law is about relevant evidence, proof, and results. It's time for firms to take a hard look in the existential mirror and determine 'What services and/or products can we provide legal consumers they cannot acquire from other sources?' And it's not simply a matter of price. Clients expect solutions to business challenges, not legal tomes. Law firms continue to sell a high-priced, labor-intensive delivery model that is focused on practice, not an integration of practice and integrated delivery. No amount of marketing magic will bridge that delta absent results, customer-centricity, and an alignment of delivery capability with consumer expectations and requirements.
The days of undifferentiated 'big box store' law firms are over. Clients are demanding greater expertise from outside counsel, and they expect that it will be leveraged by technology, process, and 'the right resource for the right task.' And if law firms do not possess delivery expertise in-house, they must collaborate with others that do. Law firm culture was shaped by legal expertise, and most firms do not attach equal standing or importance to professionals with marketing, technology, and process management skills. The traditional partnership model places a premium on what is valuable to the firm–hours and business generation–not what matters to clients–results. Clients are now driving the bus, and that explains why law firms have lost so much market share, especially during the past decade.
The bulk of the audience questions sought advice on how to persuade senior partners to embrace innovation. Most Spanish law firms–like many other markets– are conservative, male-dominated, and have yet to feel the economic pinch that legal digitization will produce. This is a strong cultural headwind for those bent on changing law firm culture.
The Legal Management Forum, Spain's largest legal event, was hosted by Wolters Kluwer, the global information services giant, and Inkietos (Spanish for 'restless'), a diverse group of lawyers–in-house and law firm, IT professionals, academics, and journalists bent on change changing the Spanish legal market. A sold-out auditorium of over 600 demonstrated 'restlessness' with the conservative Spanish legal establishment. An in-house panel–four women–discussed their departments' adaptation of technology and process to streamline legal delivery. They gave examples of using data as benchmarks and risk management tools, discussed their dual roles as corporate defenders and business partners, and emphasized that they expect lawyers to provide business solutions, not legal tomes. The event sponsors included Deloitte Legal, Andersen Tax & Legal, KPMG, and Toshiba, another indication that the 'Embracing Innovation' theme was more than aspirational.
Clients–not providers–are driving the bus now, and this applies to legal services. Consumers are separating legal practice–differentiated legal expertise, judgment, and skills–from the business of delivering legal services. The legal industry is becoming digitized; it is morphing from a labor-intensive delivery model controlled by lawyers to a tech and process driven one. Legal practice is shrinking and delivery is expanding; legal expertise is leveraged by technology and process; data and results are replacing speculation and pedigree; delivery cycles are compressed; and the right resource–lawyer, other professional, paraprofessional, and/or machine–is deployed for the right task. Translation: the legal industry is not just about lawyers anymore, and law firms are not its sole providers. And in the process, what it means to be a lawyer–from a functional perspective–is being redefined.
Technology is not replacing lawyers, but it is changing the tasks they perform; the delivery models they operate in; performance and reward structures-output (results) rather than input (hours billed); where and for whom they work -agile, increasingly 'gigs' instead of jobs, and for legal services organizations rather than traditional law firms. Technology is redefining what it means to be a lawyer–when are they needed, what their role is in the delivery process, and how they should be trained and deployed to better serve clients that retain them as well as society. Technology offers an opportunity for legal delivery to be provided to tens of millions of new consumers in need of it as well as more efficiently and cost-effectively delivered to existing consumers. Spain is one of many countries with an acute access to justice problem. At a time when the rule of law and democracy are under siege, the legal industry's ability to provide greater access to legal services is critical. Technology makes this possible and is a remarkably powerful tool that the legal industry should embrace, not fear.
Lawyers are more important than ever. They are the first responders and ultimate defenders of the rule of law. The legal industry has some 'wicked' problems to confront: the access to justice crisis, creating meaningful guardrails for social media and its potential to obliterate fact from misinformation, protecting democracy, and training future lawyers–as well as legal service providers–to ensure they have the competencies, experience, and tools necessary to tackle these challenges. Legal culture has been slow to embrace change, and that's why those outside the profession are generally its greatest innovators. The legal industry must embrace other professionals–notably technologists and management experts–as well as paraprofessionals and technological resources. Training must be rendered more efficiently and cost-effectively and focus on competency, experiential learning, soft skills (e.g. 'people skills,' collaborations, etc.) as well as business and technology. Legal services must solve business and individual challenges, not offer legal tomes.
Recent events in Spain–and elsewhere throughout Europe, the U.S., and around the globe–are a reminder of the fine line that separates democracy from chaos. The rule of law demarcates that boundary and the legal profession is on its front line. To stand up to this formidable challenge, the legal profession must embrace diversity; collaborate with other professions and paraprofessionals; and utilize technology to provide affordable access to legal services for all. This is not simply good for business; it is critical to the defense of a way of life that could be disrupted.

'We Didn't Know It Until finally We Purchased It'
Sometimes we finish up with items we don't want or want, and we may give them to close friends or cherished types. Or we could tuck them absent for the foreseeable future risk that we assume of a use for them. But state star Loretta Lynn had no possibility for storing her inadvertent order immediately after she acquired a dwelling she fell in really like with, and then she discovered that she was also the proud owner of the town it was in.
Lynn was born in Kentucky but turned a star in Nashville, Tennessee. And at the time she'd set up herself among the finest of her time, she bought a massive house, a chunk of land, and, as she uncovered out, an total city.

Loretta Lynn was born in a small coal-mining town in Kentucky
For everyone who doesn't know, Lynn was born a coal miner's daughter in a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler, Kentucky. Her moms and dads have been lousy, raising eight youngsters on her father's income as a coal miner. She married and became a mom as a young teenager.
Tumultuous as the relationship concerning Loretta Lynn and her spouse Oliver was, she normally gave him all the credit for her career. She sang to youngsters but did not know she experienced star potential. But he noticed that in her and pushed her to get on phase.
At some point, Lynn's singing and songwriting took them to Nashville, where by she constructed a brief friendship with Patsy Cline. Right after Cline's tragic demise in 1963 and the beginning of Lynn's twins in 1964, the "Coal Miner's Daughter" superstar was searching for a spot to settle outside the metropolis with Oliver and their six young ones.

All were tested in the same circumstances, trying to establish a standard methodology for achieving the results applicable in each case. Tests were carried out on the dynamometer, so that all of them could improve the same virtual path and under controlled temperature conditions. The first temperature was set at 24 ° C (75 ° F), which can be considered as the optimum operating temperature of the battery. The same test was carried out at low temperature, -6.6 ° C (20 ° F) and at high temperature, 35 ° C (95 ° F).
The test results were fairly uniform in the five tested models. In the case of low temperatures, the autonomy is reduced by 12% if the cabin air conditioning system is not used. When this began, the loss of average autonomy was 41%. At high temperatures the loss of autonomy was 4% without starting the air conditioner, and 17% when this service was connected.
These results show that in cold climates the loss of autonomy is significantly higher than in very hot climatic conditions, regardless of whether the air conditioner is built in cars. This is due to the fact that, apart from the heating of the cab, this system is also responsible for regulating the battery cooling circuit temperature, in the event that it exists. Although it is possible to decide whether to start the air conditioner, it is not possible to operate this other service.

Q: What is an easy way to count pulses from an Encoder with a Microcontroller? Good morning!
Sorry if my question is the most "asked" in the world but I would like you to clear my mind!
I have this project to do: to count, in some way, pulses coming from an encoder. The program will keep as input a value "limit" that the user can change "on run" (ex. the program reads the input in a thread and store the variable for the following cycle of the thread "counter"). The frequency should be up to 100KHz, 50Khz is good enough but you never know... it would be better to have higher performances... Every time thread counter reaches limit gives a digit in output.
The program on the microcontroller should be in C; the counter should never lose any pulse (reliability is a must).
This is all I know about the project for now, but I don't think I'll have much other specific...
The real question is:
What microcontroller should I use of the commercials? Arduino? Raspberry? And if I use Raspberry will I risk SO doing some stuff in background losing pulses? And what about Beaglebone?
Is there any beaten path about this problem (Some documentation and tutorial about a particular microcontroller)?
I repeat, I have not incredible specifics except for reliability!
And sorry if I asked something is already been discussed but I'm really confused about the best and simplest solution! And please treat me like the worst of the newbies because probably I am!
Thanks a lot guys for your kindness!

A: Definitely you don't want to use anything that has Linux or Windows operating system (ie. Raspberry, Beaglebone etc.), because they are not real-time and you cannot be sure that you will not miss any pulse.
Almost any modern microcontroller programmed in bare C should be enough. If you take AVR (eg. Atmega8 or Atmega16 or even Attiny2313) clocked 8MHz, and your target resolution is 100kHz, you will have 80 CPU cycles for one pulse. This definitely should be enough if you use hardware interrupt for detecting pulse. To be sure - two ways:

*

*Analyse code (assembly) after compilation. You will see how much instructions you have in your interrupt service routine. Then with you microcontroller datasheet you can count detailed number of cycles it will take

*Connect signal generator, set it to square wave and see at which frequency you start to loose pulses. If your target frequency is 2-3 times smaller you are in safe range.

After you finish part with counting, you can send number of pulses in eg. each second to some high-level computer/software, eg using UART or SPI. But this of course depends on your design requirements.

A: There are two channels for Quadrature Enoders (QDEC) in Arduino Due, but original one is "out of stock". Some questions about it were in Arduino SE: How to configure 2nd Quadrature Decoder IO pins in Arduino IDE and Reading Two Quadrature Encoder using a single Arduino Due
Without it you have to use interrupts. However for the frequencies about 100kHz you might need some faster arduinos (ARM based) or external hardware decoder.
Something like:

and bidirectional counter for exmple ...

A: You can use microcontroller (such as AVR) or Arduino (which most of it also using avr microcontroller). To read pulses, you can use external interrupt feature, and timer feature. External interrupt is used to raise the rps count, which triggered by encoder, and timer feature is used to reset the rps count after calculating the total rotation of "x"-time (i.e : 1 sec)

On October 25, Typhoon Yutu devastated the Northern Mariana Islands. The category 5 storm was one of the most powerful cyclones on record, impacting more than 50,000 people across the U.S. territory and leaving many residents with nothing. Communication, power and water services are out, and may not be restored for months. Given the catastrophic destruction from this storm, people across the territory will need short and long-term recovery funding to help meet the needs of the community.
Following a natural disaster, there can be an increased risk of fraud committed by individuals preying upon the good intentions of people wanting to help; donors should take care that the organizations they are supporting are legitimate.

Q: Unit Testing with RhinoMock: Call method from CuT in expected call statement Actually I am writing unit tests and for this I use RhinoMocks.
Testmethod:
{
   ...
   var classA = repo.StrictMock<IMyInterface>();
   Expect.Call(()=>classA.AddItem()). // call here method cuT.ItemAdded()
   repo.ReplayAll();

   // test
   cuT.DoSomething(classA);

   ...
}

Class under test:
{
   ...
   public void DoSomething(IMyInterface myInterface)
   {
      myInterface.AddItem();
   }

   public void ItemAdded(object sender, ItemEventArgs e)
   {
     UpdateModel(); // update model only if item wasn't added by AddItem() method called from DoSomething()..
     ...
   }
}

My question is, how do I have to define the Expect.Call() statement so that by calling the expected method AddItem() on the interface a call on cuT.ItemAdded() is raised.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Regards,
rhe1980

A: What you really want here is two tests, as using event indicates that adding items can happen from different source (than DoSomething method):
// 1: This test will simply verify that tested method calls dependency
public void DoSomething_AddsItemOnMyInterface()
{
    var myInterface = MocksRepository.GenerateMock<IMyInterface>();
    myInterface.Expect(m => m.AddItem()).Repeat.Once();

    cut.DoSomething(myInterface);

    myInterface.VerifyAllExpectations();
}

// 2: Here we assure that model gets updated when item was added
public void ItemAdded_UpdatesModel_WhenMyInterfaceRaisesEvent()
{
    var myInterface = MocksRepository.GenerateMock<IMyInterface>();
    myInterface.Expect(m => m.AddItem()).Repeat.Once();

    myInterface.Raise(m => m.ItemAddedEvent += null, myInterface,
        new ItemEventArgs());

    // How exactly model is updated when event is raised? The 'how'
    // should be asserted here.
}

For example, if UpdateModel was setting your class property to some value, you would assert that. If it was clearing some collection, in assert you'd check that collection is empty. The event itself is not interesting from testing point of view (think of it as a condition); what's interesting is what happens (contract) when that event is raised. And test should check that the contracted what happened indeed.
Btw, syntax you use (Record-Replay) is a bit old one. Rhino supports much more fluent Arrange-Act-Assert syntax now (with Expect, Stub and Verify methods). More can be found on wiki page here.

The Great American Sound
PremierGuitar Default
Finding that American sound through classic speakers
How's everybody doing? In the last couple of installments we've looked at Britain's contribution to the special sounds of classic rock. Now I think it's time to bring our historical journey back around to where rock 'n' roll began—right here in the good old USA! I've been listening very carefully to the various speakers being made today and comparing them to the speakers made in the heyday of amplifier making: the '50s and '60s. During this particular era and into the early '70s there were quite a few US speaker manufacturers around. Many of these speaker brands possessed their own unique voices. However, some of these manufacturers stopped making guitar speakers entirely, or making the proper recone kits for those speakers that would eventually need repair. The end result was that reconed speakers didn't sound (or react to your touch) at all like they did before. This was a huge bummer.
I will never forget a particular time in my youth when I was at a jam session where a saxophone player nonchalantly dropped a Shure SM58 micro- phone down the bell of his horn. I was horrified at the sound we heard emanating from my Altec Lansing 417-8C loaded Fender Twin Reverb—CLANG!
And then suddenly, NOTHING...
Man, was I pissed! I was unable to utter the smallest of sounds. That afternoon I called the dealer where I had purchased the Altec Lansing speakers, and was given bad news. They were out of stock and discontinued, never to be made again. After many frantic calls to various Altec Lansing dealers in my area, I found out that nobody had them in stock. In the end, I was forced to replace the Altec Lansing 417-8Cs with JBL E-120s. Did they sound like the 417-8Cs? Nope, far from it. The JBLs were much brighter and would not distort like the Altecs did. If any distortion was introduced, the JBLs sounded wimpy, thin and lacked body by comparison. Keep in mind, this type of speaker had a much higher power rating than what our ears knew as the classic Fender sound.
1954 P12Q. Photo by Dean Farley.
It's been suggested that more popular recordings of the past (and even now) were done with some sort of Fender amp than any other. A few different types of speakers were used in those amps, depending upon availability. Fender would use various brands like CTS, Utah and Oxford if their preferred Jensen speakers were not ready at hand. The early tweed model amps are still coveted for their creamy breakup and touch sensitivity. What you usually hear in these models are the American-made Jensen P12Qs. These speakers sound really amazing, but they had a tendency to burn up easily when the volume was pushed too hard, because the voice coils were wound on paper bobbins. As the Fender amp lineup began increasing in power around 1959, some changes started to happen. Leo Fender decided that he wanted his amps to have more headroom, so he switched from alnico magnets to ceramic magnets to get closer to what he was looking for. I don't think that anyone would disagree with me or have any doubt that those early Jensen speakers represent the real, authentic "American sound" as we know it. These days you'll find many an old tweed amp (or the blonde or blackface models) that no longer have the original speakers because of the paper bob- bins burning up in the original Jensens.
In recent times, we've been seeing a lot of amplifier companies claiming they can recreate that great "American sound," but to my ears, these companies don't have the right sounding speakers with their amplifiers. And this is one of those beyond- critical keys in creating the authenticity of that old wonderful tone. So, if you have an old original Fender amp hanging around that dates anywhere from the early '50s on up to the mid-'60s that needs to come back home, sonically speaking, you'll more than likely have a big problem getting it back "in the pocket." I haven't heard any 12-inch reissue speaker that sounds remotely like those old original American made Jensen speakers—until recently.
Enter Adam Palow and Tungsten Amplification of Grand Island, FL. Adam is one of the most finicky people I have ever met in the boutique amplifier business, and he has succeeded in nailing this sound. Adam and I did an interesting blindfold test. He took two brand new open-back pine wood 1x12" Tungsten enclosures, one loaded with an original 1954 Jensen P12Q and the other loaded with one of his brand new Tungsten T12Q Weber speakers (made by Weber to Tungsten specs)—straight out of the box with no break in period. When we settled down to do our testing, Adam asked me if I could pick out the cabinet that had the 1954 model P12Q in it. I listened very carefully for a few moments as he switched back and forth between the two enclosures directly in front of us. When I pointed to the cabinet which I thought contained the real deal, I was informed that it was sitting in the other cabinet! Wow...
I was completely stunned, because at best the difference between the two speakers was so minute it would have been harder than splitting hairs to tell the two apart. The treble was voiced correctly with the midrange slightly scooped, and the bass was exactly right. Please consider this a public service announcement for those who own old amps that need to be restored to their original glory. If you feel you're one of the players with this dilemma, you can get fixed up! See you next month.
