Not all hope is lost, as there’s a chance Saber Interactive could take over. That schism was also listed as a possible issue with the game. Aspyr was also apparently telling its partners and employees that it wanted to release the game by the end of 2022, but given its size and scope, a 2025 date would have been more realistic according to developers on the team. One of them suggested that too much money was dumped into the demo and that sort of burn rate was not sustainable. However, it seemed as though Aspyr’s studio heads weren’t pleased with the vertical slice, according to two of Bloomberg’s sources. One source stated that they were excited about the game and felt that it was “on track,” which made the indefinite delay quite shocking. The report also stated that the game had been in development for three years and recently finalized a vertical slice on June 30 to show Lucasfilm and Sony (the game was set to be a PlayStation 5 console exclusive at launch). RELATED: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on Switch Is a Puzzling Port of a Poor Game Two of the studio heads then told employees that the project is “on pause” and the company will start looking for other “contracts and development opportunities.” Minor and Prince, who both worked on Star Wars games at BioWare, have listed July as their last month at the studio on their LinkedIn profiles. Minor recently posted on his LinkedIn account about looking for work in a way that implied it was a quick dismissal. The reason these two were booted still remains a mystery. According to the article, Aspyr abruptly fired Art Director Jason Minor and Design Director Brad Prince earlier this month. However, a new report is claiming that the game has been indefinitely delayed following some strife at developer Aspyr Media.Ī new Bloomberg report detailed the alleged problems occurring at the studio. The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake was one of the big announcements at Sony’s last PlayStation Showcase in September 2021.

It can handle classical and modern music, complex notation, tablatures and Schenker graphs all the time. Mimicking hand-engraved sheets even in printed form makes it easier for musicians to focus on playing rather than reading the file in front of them. Since different layouts, settings and styles are available, users can easily switch between them and obtain a variant that pleases them esthetically. This way, unwanted modifications can be reverted with ease. Using the LilyPad component, users can manually input the contents of their music score in readable and editable ASCII text, being able to adjust its layout and preview the results in real time, making sure it fully matches users’ requirements.Īs it includes version control capabilities, LilyPond enables users to look at the entire development process of a music sheet and determine when certain changes were introduced. LilyPond Developer(s) David Kastrup, Werner Lemberg, Han-Wen Nienhuys, Jan Nieuwenhuizen, Carl Sorensen, Janek Warcho, et al. LILYPOND SOFTWARE SOFTWAREGenerating music scores similar to the hand-engraved files is no longer a chore Short description: Free software scorewriter. The simple and straightforward look of this component is coupled with the Windows context-menu integration of LilyPond, allowing users to swiftly open a source file for further editing or to convert it to PDF. The tool comes with an editing instrument, namely LilyPad, which enables users to create, customize and work with LY format files, programmatically inputting the layouts they wish to render as printable files. LilyPond is a complex and reliable software utility developed to offer musicians a method of generating visually-appealing music scores, similar to the hand-engraved ones, also being able to print and share them with the orchestra. I argue for an ethics that takes into account self-reflexivity, and the artist’s, and the scholar’s, situated relationship to history, in the aftermath of sustained historical racial oppression and authoritarianism. Situated within the parameters of feminist ethics the study foregrounds women artists. A major concern is how artists and scholars enter into dialogues with history, from the perspectives of their own subjectivities, without reinscribing historical and epistemic violence, and the objectification of marginalised subjects. The opacity that characterises the works is a major point of emphasis, and is related to the dissertation’s concern with trauma, racial oppression and historical/epistemic violence. The videos selected for this dissertation suggest ideas of temporal and spatial disorientation, displacement, collapse, and irresolvable repetitive return. The particular temporality of video is engaged through historical and psychoanalytical concepts of trauma. It is concerned primarily with Bennett and Pollock’s privileging, from their particular theoretical perspectives, of the affects and internal logics/worlds of art objects, which prompt critical thought, and theoretical and historical inquiry. This inquiry is underpinned by art historical approaches to the relationship between art and trauma, and, in particular, the work of Jill Bennett (2005) and Griselda Pollock (2013). The study is concerned with the critical significance and temporality of memory in relation to trauma as a historical and psychoanalytical concept applicable to ongoing conditions of historical and political violence and its continuous, apparently irresolvable repetition in political-historical life. Each of the videos engaged enter into a dialogue with historical narratives embedded within the experience and memory of violence and racial oppression in South Africa. I seek to contribute to critiques of the post-apartheid democracy, and the impetus to move forward from the past, to forgive and reconcile its violence, while not actively and critically engaging historical trauma, and its relation to memory. I consider the visual, sonic, temporal, durational, spatial, sensory and affective capacities of these works, and their encounter with historical events/episodes and figures the significance and affective charge of which move across the eras differentiated as apartheid and post-apartheid. It focuses on Jo Ractliffe’s Vlakplaas: 2 June 1999 (drive-by shooting), Berni Searle’s Mute (2008), Penny Siopis’ Obscure White Messenger (2010) and Minnette Vári’s Chimera (the white edition, 2001 and the black edition 2001-2002). This dissertation explores four recent examples of video art by four South African women artists. The animalised human form is a trope spanning many historical periods, and persisting in present-day art and culture as a fecund site for the imagining of the human model through the animal index. Artworks featuring amalgamated animal/human forms are also briefly addressed. This article examines the use of rhetorical similitude as a phenomenon and device or conceit in animal representation, with applied image discussion of artworks from the Urban Animal exhibition (2009) as well as a limited selection of domestic animal representations. Particularly in art and its historical discourse, animals are indexical signifiers, attaching affect or moral allegory to the humans they accompany, merely functioning as allegorical stand-ins for virtue or vice along the ethical spectrum of a particular cultural and historical era. This article seeks to extend on this notion of the symbolic alienation of animals as a cultural phenomenon that is not purely linguistic, but (manifestly) also embedded in visual signs. Derrida, in a counter assault to this humanist position, points out that the domination of animals is (even) encoded in the structure of language. This derisive philosophical treatment has embedded itself in the vast majority of cultural practices and has erased the ancient agency of non-human creatures vis-à-vis human society. Indeed, the Aristotelian and Cartesian theses proposed animals as being little more than automata. Consistently throughout the tradition of Western philosophy, as well as materially speaking, animals have long been the most estranged and disempowered creatures on earth. In response, the US said it would release another 10m barrels from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in November, perhaps with the US midterm elections in mind. Analysts believe the actual reduction in global oil supply will be closer to 1 million barrels per day because some countries are already producing well below their quotas so won’t be affected by the change. In other news, OPEC+ announced a 2 million barrels per day reduction to oil supply quotas, the upper-end of the 1m-2m range flagged in the lead-up to the meeting. On market pricing for rate cuts next year, Daly was blunt: “ I don’t see that happening at all.” San Francisco Fed President Daly told Bloomberg it would be “ really challenging” to step down the pace of rate hikes while core inflation is rising, pointing to another 75bps hike next month. Likewise, the USD is up around 0.7%-1.1% in index terms overnight, reversing most of the previous day’s move.ĭespite some murmurings around a possible ‘Fed pivot’ in the coming months, following the weak ISM Manufacturing and job openings data and the RBA’s surprise 25bps rate hike earlier in the week, Fed officials remain steadfastly hawkish. Near-term Fed rate expectations haven’t changed that much (70bps is still priced for next month’s meeting and a terminal rate a touch above 4.50%), but the market has pared back some of the rate cut pricing from mid next year. The 10-year rate is now essentially back to where it was on Monday, before the manufacturing data. US rates are higher across the curve, with the 2-year rate lifting 7bps to 4.16% and the 10-year rate up 14bps, to 3.77%. Just as the downside surprise to the ISM Manufacturing index earlier in the week drove a big fall in rates and the USD, there’s been a big reversal of those moves overnight. Market attention will now turn to the nonfarm payrolls report released tomorrow night. The ISM Services index suggests the former interpretation, with services sector activity levels still holding at very healthy levels for now. The Prices Paid component fell again, but, at 68.7, it remains relatively high (the manufacturing equivalent is just 51.1), consistent with still-elevated inflationary pressures in the services sector.Īs we noted earlier this week, it was uncertain whether the weakness in the Manufacturing ISM reflected the long-awaited rotation from consumer spending on goods back to services, or whether it hinted at a broader slowdown in economic activity. The key New Orders subcomponent remained at very healthy levels, above 60, while there was a notable increase in the Employment index, which rebounded back into expansionary territory, at 53. As it happened, the Services index was stronger than expected, falling marginally from 56.9 to 56.7, levels still consistent with strong growth in the services sector. After hitting 0.58 in the wake of the RBNZ, the NZD is back to 0.5720 this morning.Īfter the weak ISM Manufacturing survey earlier this week, which had reawakened recession fears, there was greater than usual focus on the ISM Services index overnight. There was a slightly hawkish tinge to the statement, given the RBNZ discussed a 75bps move, but the market reaction has been fleeting. The RBNZ raised the OCR by 50bps yesterday, as expected. OPEC+ cut oil production quotas by 2m barrels per day, but oil prices are only modestly higher as the US said it would release more oil reserves from the SPR. ‘Bad news is good news’ remains the prevailing theme in equity markets, with the S&P500 down around 0.5% overnight, slightly paring its gains over the past two days. The US 10-year rate is 14bps higher and back above 3.75% while the EUR, which got within a whisker of hitting parity yesterday, is back below 0.99. A stronger-than-expected ISM Services index overnight has helped drive a sharp increase in global rates and the USD overnight, reversing the moves from earlier in the week. Slade does not believe this and says that Raven is merely an insignificant pawn in Trigon's plan. While they walk to the place where Raven must summon Trigon, she warns Slade that she knows her father, and that Trigon will not keep whatever promise he made to him. Her team tries to stop her, but she knocks them out and leaves. After threatening to hurt Raven's friends, Trigon makes Raven come out of the tower and go with Slade. Raven meditates and Trigon makes contact with her mind as Slade appears outside the tower, with a group of fire demons. Before leaving her alone, Beast Boy gives her a penny for good luck and she says "All the luck in the world won't help us now." Robin says that even if something happens, the rest of the Titans will be watching from an observation room above her. This room was built to keep out anything ranging from villains to evil spirits. Raven says over and over that no matter what, it is hopeless and no power on earth can stop her from fulfilling her destiny, but her team refuses to give up. She passes out and comes to, questioned by her teammates 'Why didn't you tell us today's the day?' Her teammates realize that she is destined to become the portal so the earth will be destroyed, and immediately take her to a quarantine room, which they constructed without Raven's knowledge. Raven is tossed around by an invisible force, and as her teammates look at her arm, they see the mark of Trigon. Suddenly, a solar eclipse happens and blocks the sun. She states that they have a lot to do until sunset. She takes them to the park and suggest some activities to do. Raven later takes the team out for pizza, and Robin mentions that she is being quiet today. Sure." She protects all her teammates during the battle, and ends up defeating Plasmus. He says "Thanks! I owe you one!" and Raven quietly mumbles, "Yeah. The alarm signifies an attack, and they leave.Īs they battle Plasmus, Raven stops Robin from hitting a building. Starfire said the pancakes reminded her of a dish at Tamaran, and Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Robin gave their pancakes to her. She makes pancakes for breakfast, though she is not such a good cook, but Robin quietly told Cyborg and Beast Boy to be nice about it, because he could tell Raven was really trying to be nice. She decides to be extra nice to her teammates and try to make their last day the best ever. As she watches Robin comes up, and they have a moment. Raven goes out to the rooftop and watches the sunrise. She screams "No!", realizing that today is the day she will fulfill her destiny to become the portal for Trigon to enter the Earth, therefore causing an end to the life of all its inhabitants. She wakes up and finds Trigon's symbol burning on her arms. Suddenly the scene switches to Raven in her room, just as the sun comes up. Slade accepts, thinking that it is a beautiful day for the end of the world. Trigon tells Slade to bring Raven and he will get his promise. The episode begins with Slade and Trigon having a conversation. Will this be enough to stop the prophecy from coming true or will Raven give in to Trigon to save her friends? However, it's not long before they find out, they take Raven to a safety room to protect her while they fight off Slade and his minions. Raven sees no hope in defeating Trigon so she decides to make the Titans' last day perfect. The day Raven has feared all her life is finally here The Day She will End the World.
