From the court to the sidelines, there will be a strong Australian flavour when the WNBA play-offs begin on Thursday September 14th Australian time.

The top eight finishers in the WNBA regular season split into four best-of-three first-round series with the winners advancing to best-of-five semi-final fixtures. The final two will then do battle over five games for WNBA championship glory.

The Seven Consulting Opals are well represented across playing and coaches ranks.

Cayla George’s Las Vegas Aces finished the regular season top of the ladder with a 34-6 record and now take on eight-seed Chicago featuring Alanna Smith and former Perth Lynx star Marina Mabrey.

Opals head coach Sandy Brondello guided the New York Liberty (32-8) to second seed and they now play the Washington Mystics. Reigning Rachael Sporn medallist and Townsville Fire championship player Tianna Hawkins, who will return to the WNBL this season, is a prime mover for the Mystics.

Opals assistant Paul Goriss is part of the coaching group at Atlanta Dream. The Dream, featuring new Perth WNBL import Aari McDonald and former Townsville player Monique Billings, face the Dallas Wings in a showdown between fourth and fifth-placed teams. New Southside Flyers import Jasmine Dickey is on the Wings roster.

Tokyo Olympian Bec Allen will make her play-offs debut with Connecticut Sun, after crossing from the Liberty in the off-season, who play Minnesota Lynx.

There’s a quartet of familiar faces in the Lynx line-up with Tiffany Mitchell, Lindsay Allen, Bridget Carleton and Rachel Banham all former WNBL imports.

Seattle Storm (Sami Whitcomb, Ezi Magbegor, Jade Melbourne) and Indiana Fever (Kristy Wallace) didn’t reach the play-offs and Whitcomb, Melbourne and Wallace will now return to Australia ahead of WNBL pre-season with their respective teams Townsville, Canberra and Melbourne, while Magbegor will again play in Europe.

Tipping off this Thursday morning AEST, all games are streamed on the WNBA app with selected fixtures on ESPN as below.

Cine a inventat de fapt becul cu incandescenta?

A fost Thomas Edison sau altcineva?

THOMAS EDISON 7.PRIMUL BEC INCANDESCENT PRACTIC 8.CARE ESTE BECUL CU CEA MAI LUNGA VIATA? 9.UTILIZAREA BECULUI IN MASA 10.BECUL CU FILAMENT DIN WOLFRAM 11.ELIMINAREA TREPTATA A BECURILOR CLASICE 12.BECURILE LED 13.INFORMATII INTERESANTE DESPRE BEC 1.CINE A INVENTAT BECUL SI CAND? Desi Thomas Edison e creditat ca si omul care a inventat becul asa cum sustin majoritatea, cativa alti inventatori au pavat drumul inaintea sa. Dupa cum veti afla în curand, raspunsul la aceasta enigma este mai puțin clar. Depinde și de ceea ce ați considera un bec „adevarat”. Dar, la fel ca multe inventii de-a lungul timpului, produsul final este munca cumulativa a multor inventatori de-a lungul istoriei, același lucru este valabil și pentru bec. lampa antipanica Azi vom face un tur rapid prin istoria becului și ne vom opri la cativa dintre jucatorii cheie. Bec Edison - obiectul din imaginea de mai sus face parte din colecția protejată de obiecte a Institutului Franklin Faimosul american Edison nu este singurul contributor la dezvoltarea acestei tehnologii extraordinare, inaintea sa sunt creditate merite lui Ebenezer Kinnersley, Alessandro Volta, Humphry Davy, James Bowman Lindsay, Marcellin Jobard, Warren de la Rue,John W. Starr, Moses Gerrish Farmer, Alexander Lodygin, Henry Woodward, Mathew Evans, si in cele din urma lui Joseph Wilson Swan. iluminat antipanica 2.PRIMELE CERCETARI SI DEZVOLTARI Istoria becului incepe cu mult inainte ca Edison sa pantenteze primul sau bec comercial in 1879. In anul 1761, inventatorul englez Ebenezer Kinnersley oferea demonstratii in care incalzea conductoare pe care le aducea la incandescenta. In anul 1800, inventatorul italian Alessandro Volta a dezvoltat prima metoda practica de generarea a electricitatii, si anume pila voltaica. Realizata din discuri succesive de zinc si cupru, intercalate cu straturi de carton inmuiate in apa sarata, pila conducea electricitatea atunci cand un fir de cupru era conectat la fiecare capat. Firul de cupru stralucitor al lui Volta este oficial considerat precursorul bateriei, dar totodata este considerat si ca manifestarea timpurie a iluminatului incandescent. iluminat panica Potrivit lui Harold Schobert, pila voltaica "a permis oamenilor de stiinta sa experimenteze curentul electric sub conditii controlate". La scurt timp dupa ce Volta si-a prezentat descoperirea sa pentru o sursa continua de electricitate Societatii Regale din Londra, Davy Humphry produce prima lampa electrica din lume conectand pila electrica la electrozi de carbune. iluminat pentru continuarea lucrului 3.PRIMA LAMPA ELECTRICA Inventia lui Davy din 1802 a fost cunoscuta ca lampa cu arc electric, numita dupa arcul luminos emis intre cei doi electrozi de carbon, potrivit scrierilor din "The Life of Sir Humphrey Davy" (HardPress Publishing, 2016)

O schita cu Humphry lucrand la un experiment cu alcaline Chiar daca lampa lui Davy era o imbunatatire sigura la pila lui Volta, nu era inca suficient de practica ca si sursa de lumina. Aceasta lampa rudimentara ardea repede si era mult prea luminoasa pentru uzul in casa sau intr-un spatiu de munca. Cu toate acestea alte experimente ale lui Davy au condus catre lampa de siguranta pentru mineri, iluminatul strazilor in Paris si alte orase europene. Principiul din spatele lampii cu arc electric al lui Humphry Davy a fost folosit in dezvoltarea multor lampi electrice si becuri in anii 1800. iluminat de siguranta pentru evacuare normativ In 1835, James Bowman Lindsay a demonstrat o lumina electrica constanta la o intalnire publica din Dundee, Scoția. El a declarat ca poate „sa citeasca o carte la o distanta de un picior si jumatate”. Cu toate acestea, el nu a mai dezvoltat lampa electrica.

4.PRIMUL BEC SCUMP In 1840, savantul britanic Warren de la Rue a dezvoltat o lampa de lumina ce folosea un filament elicoidal de platina in loc de cupru, dar costul ridicat al platinii a impiedicat lampa sa aiba un succes comercial In 1848, englezul William Staite a imbunatatit longevitatea lampii cu arc conventional dezvoltand un mecanism de ceas care regla miscarea electrozilor de carbon care se erodau atata de repede. Dra costul bateriilor uzate sa alimenteze lampa lui Staite limitau deasemenea o posibila aplicatie practica. Dupa cum puteti vedea inventarea becului nu tine cont doar de inventarea sa, ci si de posibilitatile de alimentare cu energie electrica de la acea vreme. kit emergenta lampi led 2h

In 1859, Moses G. Farmer a construit un bec electric cu incandescenta folosind un filament de platina. Thomas Edison a vazut mai tarziu unul dintre aceste becuri intr-un magazin din Boston si i-a cerut lui Farmer sfaturi cu privire la afacerea cu lumina electrica. 5.IN CAUTAREA BECULUI IEFTIN In 1872, rusul Alexander Lodygin a inventat un bec cu incandescenta si a obtinut un brevet rusesc în 1874. A folosit doua tije de carbon subtiri intr-un recipient de sticla, inchis ermetic si umplut cu azot. Mai tarziu a locuit in SUA, si-a schimbat numele in Alexander de Lodyguine si a obtinut brevete pentru lampi cu incandescenta care aveau filamente de crom, iridiu, rodiu, ruteniu, osmiu, molibden și wolfram, iar un bec care folosea un filament de molibden a fost demonstrat la targul mondial din 1900 de la Paris. Timbru rusesc din 1952 cu Alexander Lodigyn 6.O CONCURENTA BENEFICA: JOSEPH SWAN VS. THOMAS EDISON In 1850, chimistul englez Joseph Swan nascut in Sunderland a inceput incercarile pentru realizarea unei lampi electrice mult mai economice, si pana in 1860 a dezvoltat un bec care utiliza filamente din hartie carbonizata in locul filamentelor de platina. Swan a primit un patent in U.K. in 1878, si in februarie 1879 a facut demonstratii publice ale acestei descoperiri stiintifice folosind lampi experimentale. Asemenea interpretarilor anterioare ale becului, filamentele lui Swan au fost plasate într-un tub vidat pentru a minimiza expunerea lor la oxigen, prelungindu-le durata de viata. Din nefericire pentru Swan, pompele de vid nu erau foarte eficiente atunci, iar prototipul nu funcționa suficient de bine pentru utilizarea de zi cu zi. Edison a realizat ca problema lui Swan era filamentul. Un filament subtire cu rezistenta electrica mare ar face practica lampa fiindca ar necesita un curent mic pentru a o face sa straluceasca. El a facut o demonstratie a becului sau folosind un filament de platina intr-un tub de sticla vidat in decembrie 1879 in New Jersey. Swan a preluat imbunatatirile folosindu-le in propriul bec si a fondat o firma de iluminat electric in Anglia.

Edison l-a dat in judecata pentru incalcarea brevetelor, dar brevetul lui Swan a fost puternic aparat, cel putin in U.K. Cei doi inventatori si-au unit in cele din urma fortele si au format compania Edison-Swan United, care a devenit una dintre cele mai mari producatoare de becuri din lume.

Compania Edison si Swan - sursa: Wikimedia Commons 7.PRIMUL BEC INCANDESCENT PRACTIC Unde Edison și-a depasit concurenta a fost în dezvoltarea unui bec practic si ieftin. Edison și echipa sa de cercetatori au testat peste 3.000 de modele de becuri între 1878 și 1880. Deoarece designul său a avut atât de mult succes, a dominat efectiv piața și a depășit toate celelalte versiuni. In noiembrie 1879, Edison a depus un brevet pentru o lampa electrica cu filament de carbon, conform Arhivelor Naționale Amerciane. Brevetul a enumerat mai multe materiale care ar putea fi folosite pentru filament, inclusiv bumbac, in si lemn. Edison si-a petrecut anul urmator gasind filamentul perfect pentru noul sau bec, testand peste 6.000 de plante pentru a determina ce material ar arde cel mai mult. Edison a recunoscut ca munca a fost plictisitoare și foarte solicitanta, în special pentru lucratorii sai care ajutau la experimente. El a recunoscut intotdeauna importanta muncii si a hotararii. La cateva luni dupa acordarea brevetului din 1879, Edison si echipa sa au descoperit ca un filament de bambus carbonizat ar putea arde mai mult de 1.200 de ore, potrivit Muzeului Edison. Bambusul a fost folosit pentru filamentele becurilor lui Edison pana cand a început sa fie inlocuit cu materiale cu o durata mai lunga de viata in anii 1880 - 1900. 8.CARE ESTE BECUL CU CEA MAI LUNGA VIATA? In 1882, Lewis Howard Latimer, unul dintre cercetatorii lui Edison, a brevetat o modalitate mai eficienta de fabricare a filamentelor de carbon. Si în 1903, Willis R. Whitney a inventat un tratament pentru aceste filamente care le-a permis sa arda stralucitor fara a innegri interiorul becurilor de sticla, potrivit Institutului Smithsonian. 9.UTILIZAREA BECULUI IN MASA Incepe electrificarea natiei cu 3 firme mari competitoare Edison, Thomson-Houston si Westinhouse Electric pentru suprematia in afacerea lucrativa de a construi retele electrice, incluzand statii generatoare, statii de transformare, sisteme de distributie, sisteme de iluminat. Edison era un sustinator al sistemului de curent continuu DC, in timp ce Thomson si Westinghouse sustinea sistemul de curent alternativ AC. Pana in 1890 Edison isi da seama ca retelele de curent alternativ erau o solutie superioara, asadar in 1891 Edison incearca sa obtina un imprumut de la bancherul JP Morgan pentru a cumpara cele 2 companii si patentele lor de AC. In schimb, in 1892, Morgan a achizitionat atat Edison Electric Co., cat si Thompson-Houston Co. si le-a fuzionat sub numele de General Electric Co. un conglomerat american, a doua companie din Statele Unite Ale Americii ca valoare de piata dupa ExxonMObil si a treia din lume in anul 2008.

I think act 1 is still my favorite bec it's iconic but also bec Taichi's issue was essentially the antithesis to the story values which are with hardwork and dedication and support even if you're absolute shit at what you're doing your passion will shine thru and that will triumph natural talent everytime BUT w Taichi he WAS hardworking and he WAS dedicated king had enthusiasm thru the ROOF and he still didn't have good stage presence which ultimately made his average skills but at least not poor skills more useless than the characters who had never even acted before. Of course he thinks there's something fundamentally wrong with him at his core, this issue isn't just with stage presence it's his entire life and LOOK AROUND in a3's world there's supposed to be some kind pay off for dedication look at spring none of them had really acted for shit before then and everything just works out or even characters like muku & juza who are exactly the thesis of a3's message. If everything works out like that in a3's world, no wonder he doesn't understand why HIS hardwork doesn't pay off!!!!! What is HE doing wrong??? What's wrong with him specifically out of everyone else???? Why is everyone else's simple passion enough to make them good actors, but not his????? What is wrong with him????

#lindsay speaks #a3 #a3!; taichi nanao #bro is an enemy of the world what did u do in ur past life king #and i don't wanna hear nothin abt the godza thing bec that was the straw the broke the camel's back that was desperation #he'd never done that before he did everything the ''right'' and honest way before!!!!#I'm just thinkin abt him rn

So, I'm writing this because I'm trying to understand psychological horror, focusing on two animes from last year: Angels of Death and Happy Sugar Life. I wanted to write this because I got inspired by discussions on the Netflix's Ted Bundy show, Explanation Point's video on HSL (which made me watch it), and because I made the mistake of reading AoD's prequel manga Episode 0. Spoilers abound.

Due to way I was raised, I have difficulty in understanding stories that villains are the protagonists. Why would anyone cheer for them? Sure, there are many logical arguments, like the attempt to understand how his mind works and the cathartic feeling of being able to do feelings you know you'd be wrong. I have a RP blog and I once talked to with a friend on trying to understand how musing an utterly despicable muse could be so cathartic and she wondered if it's because it allows her to vent her stress and negative feelings on fictional characters, instead of real people. Logically, it makes sense, but I still feel odd about it.

I first watched Angels of Death because I really enjoyed the portrayal one of my best friends in the RPC had of the protagonist, Rachel Gardner. I honestly think it was a well-written anime, Rachel telling Zack that they weren't tools and the climax with the building on fire were my favorite moments. AoD also had a great advantage because it was self-aware, the banter between Rachel and Zack was pretty hilarious, and Cathy and Danny were also evilly funny. I always wondered how AoD managed to get to be an anime and Ib not...

Also, another thing that AoD makes sure to show is that every single named member of the cast is a murderer, and the man behind everything judges himself God for the sake of an experiment. It shows Zack murdering people in flashbacks and enjoying every single minute of it. In fact, the biggest plot twist is that the apparently innocent Rachel is probably the most dangerous murderer of them, the moment when she tries to kill Zack in her floor was a moment that actually got me on the edge of my seat (said event was properly foreshadowed).

When I say all characters of AoD are well-written, I say this in a "technical" sense - given their backstories, they act in a way consistent to what they are. Zack had a really crappy childhood and turned into a murderer; Danny was bullied and indirectly caused his mother's suicide; Cathy is subconsciously guided by a desire to punish sinners that caused her parents' death; Eddie was rejected so hard that he saw killing what he liked as the only way to preserve; and Rachel also had a crappy childhood, but parents who hated each other and killing her father in self-defense just broke her, her emotionless insanity is what guides her death wish (funnily enough, it doesn't seem that Gray has anything but a god complex). In other words, while they might be nearly a caricature, they still show to act on motives that make sense for them.

The question that guides the series is "what does it mean to be human?" In the end, we all want to avoid loneliness, as Gray says to Danny while the building explodes. Danny had a really pathetic death - he was a "love to hate" villain, even if he had a childhood excuse, nowhere implies that we should sympathize with him, on the contrary, he's one of the creepiest waste of air type of characters - if we showed his portrait in the game, one could put a sub "Most Likely to be a Pedophile").

But then I decided to read the prequel manga. I hated it. A lot. The characters are nothing but violent dicks to each other, in a grand scheme to get the role of "angel" in Gray's experiment (I used to muse Dr. Danny in my RP blog, it was fun to protray him as a pathetic peepermaniac, but I lost my drive after it). It doesn't try to be nuanced or anything else, but I guess if the objective was to remind us that the characters were murderous scum, it succeeded. The effect was so bad on me, that made me question the entire point of AoD itself.

I thought about this for a while. In Aod, we're basically siding with two murderers and Zack's popularity is immense, he's a Chad of murderers. The question is why?

It would be easy to dismiss his popularity as an example of the "bad boy fantasy", mostly associated with women who latches on a "bad boy" type in hopes of "fixing him", but that alone is insufficient to explain (and although it's usually recognized as a 'feminine fantasy', I want to avoid any implication of sexism, even though I don’t doubt this has been discussed in woman’s studies).

At point a friend of mine linked me Explanation Point's video on Happy Sugar Life. Why is Satou, a murderer and near pedophile (near pedophile because she doesn't engage in actual sexual activities with Shio, but it's not less disturbing), a sympathetic character? I won't recap the entire video here, but Satou is sympathetic because of many factors, such as the fact almost everyone around her is worse (arrogant rapist manager, sadomasochist actual ebebophile Danny's long lost brother, lolicon, an actual succubus in human form, obssessed copycat stalker, mad artist - the only developed characters that save themselves are Shoko and Asahi (and not 100% in his case, his determination was his downfall) - I honestly dislike Shio because she's annoying), had a crappy childhood, and that she seems sincere in her feelings for Shio.

The issue, in the end, it's about the way it's framed. Lindsay Ellis has a pretty good video on framing, on explaining how Mikaela actually had potential to be a well-written character in the first Michael Bay’s Transformers movie, but it was ruined by the way she was framed - as mere fanservice, instead of a strong character. The same principle applies to Happy Sugar Life, just pay attention to the way Satou is framed, as a strong character, in “pure” love, flowers appears on the screen when she’s thinking of Shio.

Framing is one reason why HSL failed or, at least, lost a part of its power as a cautionary tale. In the last episode, the way her imagination exploded with images of what her happy life with Shio could be, sprinkled by sappy imagery. Even if Satou killed herself to save Shio as a way to defy her aunt, it still gives a mixed message.

If we apply EP’s argument on Satou to Zack, I think we have even better “case” for Zack. Let’s count the reasons why one should sympathize with Zack:

Antagonists (Danny and Cathy) are worse people

Strong and powerful, to the point of turning into a shonen protagonist when cutting rocks in the last episode

Has a code of honor, only kills people who are laughing

Has standards, refuses to accept godhood from Rachel

Enjoys what he does, he’s probably the most sincere character of the cast

Has a twisted sense of humor

Has a sad backstory, that offered the chance of following another path (but the old man died)

Recognizes he’s messed up

Ridiculously loyal to Ray in the end

We never get to see the PoV of his victims and when we do, the frame actually makes Zack sympathetic - for example, the woman in his flashback, we see her lying to him and him killing her for it - it’s a bad thing, but the scene is framed in a way that Zack is the offended party (it was his PoV anyway)

He’s hot - granted this only works for the anime, because in the game he was some sort of tall mummy gremlin

As another friend of mine said, when I brought this to her, in the end you’re kind of cheering for them to escape police and continue murdering others. And, in the end, they do get away - Zack (and Ray, to some extent) is never punished for his crimes, even though the ending is ambiguous most people believe they escaped anyway.

In HSL we have a similar situation: even though Satou killed herself, Shio is still irreparably damaged, preferring to live her “happy sugar life” in her head than the real world. In fact, HSL’s ending is one of the most hopeless that I’ve ever seen recently, that the entire surviving cast is apparently beyond repair (as worse as Shio worse is Taiyo - it’s quite rare to portray female on male abuse on such a realistic way, any other anime would make a semi-hentai scenario on him, but here, I wouldn’t be surprise if he died starving himself to death in his room). HSL’s ending managed to be much more hopeless than AoD’s ending.

But, returning to Zack, the way his story is framed makes him a sympathetic character. However, while I argue that Zack is a well-written character, he’s not a very realistic one for one simple reason: he’s too conspicuous to be a successful serial killer, he’s too loud and messy; actual serial killers are methodic people, they plan a lot to not leave clues. Meanwhile, Zack is dumb as a rock, which might add him being an escapist character another trait of him.

And that’s where the comparison with Ted Bundy enters. It might be a stretch comparing a fictional character with a real person, but I still think it has some merit. While I haven’t seen the Netflix series, I read the debate on whether it glorifies Bundy or not. Basically the way the series frames Bundy is an argument for the glorification, but the interview with the victims who escaped him and loved ones of his victims is an argument against it. But the fact remains that both have their fans.

If we criticize Bundy’s fans for not noticing how much of a pathetic and deranged person he actually was, why can’t we do the same for Zack’s fans? Well the fact that one is real and the other fictional might be one reason, and being fictional he acts as an outlet for our own frustrations and tendencies just as I discussed with my friend above, but I feel that alone is insufficient, there must be a further reason... but I can’t think of anything else. Otherwise an argument has the danger of turning into the fallacy “videogames make kids violent” sort of thing.

One thing that has to consider is that both AoD and HSL are psychological thriller/horror series. If Zack, Ray and Satou got caught, the shows would be lesser works of art, because one function of psychological horror is to challenge our perceptions of justice.

Horror challenges our perceptions of safety and we are used to the bad guys being punished in the end, it’s a safe assumption. Instead, in horror, the bad guys get away and might be sympathetic, making us sympathetic to their getaway. It’s horror in the sense our own safe perceptions of morality and justice are twisted upside down.

I could go on and approach the thorny question of whether AoD glorifies murderers and HSL glorifies yanderes with children, but this essay is already getting too big, so I leave it for another occasion.
