This week has seen a slew of new slot games released by some of the leading suppliers in the industry, including SG Digital, NetEnt, Yggdrasil, Microgaming, Pragmatic Play and Blueprint Gaming.
SG Digital
Scientific Games' SG Digital division has launched seven new games this week, including titles from its NextGen Gaming, Red7, WMS and Barcrest studios.
Developed by NextGen Gaming, the Wild 3 introduces a character-driven theme with in-game achievements and missions that encourage continuous engagement and player loyalty. Eight missions empower maximum fun, and the wild west aesthetic creates a rich gaming experience for players.
From the Red7 studio comes Wild Streets, a 20-line game which showcases six features that can trigger on any spin, with players who win a cash prize able to choose to place it all on the line for an even bigger win. The experience is topped off by four jackpots.
Other titles launched this week include Reel Riches Fortune Age from the WMS studio and Valkyrie Fire from the Barcrest studio. Reel Riches Fortune Age boasts a pick bonus and free spins multipliers, while Valkyrie Fire brings a land-based favorite to the online space.
SG Digital has also released Let it Ride, King of Africa, and Gems Gems Gems.
Stockholm-listed casino games developer NetEnt is paying tribute to the timeless fruity slots with its new game release, Double Stacks.
The 5x3 classic slot game features free spins, stacked symbols, and land-based inspired lightshow style graphics.
Dialling up the classic theme, Double Stacks presents a visual feast of falling fruit pieces as it focuses on maximizing the excitement of classic 5-reel gameplay.
The new release incorporates the supplier's Double Stacks feature that doubles all stack symbols that land flush in the reel, as well as free spins, where wilds can also be doubled up.
"We wanted to celebrate the enduring appeal of fruit style video slots and are delighted with the results," said NetEnt chief product officer Henrik Fagerlund. "The key to Double Stacks is ageless simplicity, combined with radiant visuals – we are sure it will be a hit with old school players and newcomers alike."
Games developer Yggdrasil has launched a new quest-based adventure slot Wolf Hunters.
The game transports players to a medieval town, ravaged by the ferocious Werewolf. Hunters attack the beast as soon as it hits the reels, with every successful battle rewarding the player with a sticky wild, a bonus respin and collection advancements.
Since players get a respin every time a wild hits the reels, hitting consecutive wilds can lead to huge wins.
Players can enter three types of free spin modes: 'Regular', 'Slayer' and 'Hunter', with the last two options collectable. All three modes involve spine-tingling bonus features and expanding wilds, as players grow in strength and attack the Werewolf.
"This game has a great deal going for it, but the first thing people will notice is the amazing ambience, which really draws you in to the game," said Yggdrasil head of slots Jonus Strandman. "The theme, sound effects, animations come together to create a unique world, where players will enjoy spending their time."
Yggdrasil has also this week agreed to provide its slots to Åland-based operator Paf, which serves players in Spain, Latvia, Estonia and Sweden.
The operator will launch Yggdrasil's portfolio of games, including the Vikings trilogy, classic titles such as Jokerizer and Winter Berries, as well as latest slot releases Hanzo's Dojo and Wolf Hunters.
"We are thrilled to partner with such a well-recognised brand as Paf with a long and successful history in gaming," said Yggdrasil CEO Fredrik Elmqvist. "The deal proves we are seen by operators as the leading games provider in the Nordics and we look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration with Paf."
Paf chief gaming officer Kim Johansson added: "Yggdrasil's casino content is a firm favourite in our current markets and has proven to be a great success across regulated markets, so we are very excited to be able to offer their highly innovative games to our loyal players."
Microgaming has unveiled the latest slot to be developed by Triple Edge Studios and made exclusively available to its operator partners.
From the game studio behind Microgaming's Playboy Gold and Halloween online slots, Wicked Tales: Dark Red reimagines a classic tale with a wicked new twist.
It is a five reel, 25 payline slot set in the foreboding forests of Ravenmire, where fortune and fantasy collide. The game features Triple Edge's signature Wandering Reels, a group of three reels that spin together and contain Jumbo Blocks, which work to increase the player's chance of landing big wins.
Landing three bonus symbols in the base game triggers the Wolf's Wheel Bonus, where the suspense intensifies. During the bonus, players have the chance to spin the wheel for cash prizes, multipliers and the treasure chest, a symbol that leads to the Forest of Fortunes where the game's pick bonus awaits.
Within the Forest of Fortunes, players can choose from a number of leather pouches to find cash prizes, which combine with a multiplier that increases each time a pouch with a cash prize is revealed. Immunities in the form of an axe can also be collected, helping players prolong the bonus round by defending against the lurking werewolf attempting to bring an end to the feature.
"Wicked Tales: Dark Red brings back the exhilarating Wandering Reels feature alongside a gripping feature guaranteed bonus wheel, which can lead to a pick bonus round or free spins round," said Microgaming games publisher David Reynolds. "Triple Edge Studios have done an amazing job in combining darker elements with exciting features and new math design to inject newfound thrill and suspense into a classic tale."
Blueprint Gaming
UK-based game studio Blueprint Gaming has launched Jackpot King Deluxe, an updated progressive jackpot system offering players even more ways to win big.
The popular multi-game system now features two 'must be won by' pots that are guaranteed to pay out by a fixed value.
The Royal and Regal pots have been revamped in this latest edition of the supplier's three-tiered progressive to award their prizes before reaching £3,500 and £35,000 respectively.
Jackpot King Deluxe will be rolled out across Blueprint's full suite of existing Jackpot King games and implemented onto new titles throughout the remainder of 2018 and into the new year.
"Jackpot King has revolutionised the online casino sector and is hugely popular with operators and their players," said Blueprint Gaming managing director Matt Cole. "We're very excited to introduce this new, deluxe version which is set to drive even greater engagement and raise excitement levels.
"With our 'must be won by' Regal and Royal pots, the latest incarnation of the progressive system is sure to be an attractive proposition and enhance the gaming experience even more."
1X2 Network
Game developer and aggregator WeAreCasino has expanded its platform with new games from 1X2 Network.
Operators using the WeAreCasino platform will now gain access to a wide range of titles from 1X2 Network's 1X2gaming and Iron Dog Studio subsidiaries, as well as virtual games from strategic partner Leap Gaming.
This includes popular titles such as Rainbow Wilds and Blood Queen, as well as new releases The Curious Cabinet and Leap Gaming's Instant Football.
"WeAreCasino have certainly made an impact of late, with an impressive roster of clients in a short space of time," said 1X2 Network chief commercial officer Kevin Reid. "We are excited to be working with the great people at WeAreCasino and what we believe will become a strong and dynamic partner for us.
"Our games are topping the charts across a wide range of markets and casino brands, and this deal will strengthen our position as one of the top game providers in the industry."
1X2 Network has also this week agreed a deal to integrate innovative sports betting and casino hybrid table games from developer SpiffX (soon to be renamed Spiffbet).
SpiffX is a game provider developing online games for casino and betting under the brands Spiffbet Casino and Spiffbet Games. SpiffX creates casino games that offer fair odds with unique functionality, including its Take5 product series, as well as customisable casino games that can be tailored to individual operator needs.
The developer joins the likes of Playson, Oryx, Habanero and GameArt in making their titles available through 1X2 Network's 3PI platform including to providers such as WeAreCasino.
"SpiffX is a fantastic addition to our 3PI platform and complement our current portfolio greatly," said 1X2 Network's Reid. "This deal allows us to strengthen our game portfolio with more quality, innovative content for our partners and their players and makes us a 'go to place' for unique and exciting games."
Lennart Gillberg, chief executive of SpiffX, added: "The integration with 1X2 Network's 3PI platform is a big win for us and will see our games made available to operators in key regulated markets around the world. We believe this will be a successful partnership for all involved."
Casino content provider iSoftBet has expanded its Game Aggregation Platform (GAP) with the addition of Betsoft's suite of games.
Games including Stampede, Legend of the Nile, Sugar Pop and the recently launched Dragon Kings, have been added to the platform, which already boasts more than 2,000 titles from over 35 third-party providers.
"As we continue to strive to build a large, high quality network of games provider partners, it was imperative that a deal be struck between iSoftBet and Betsoft," said iSoftBet chief commercial officer Michael Probert. "Our operators in Italy and Romania particularly have been awaiting this partnership and we're excited to be able to provide them with the Betsoft suite of games via GAP."
Betsoft marketing director Annamaria Anastasi added: "This is an exciting development for all concerned. We are delighted to be delivering our games to operators via iSoftBet's Game Aggregation Platform.
"This opens up new doors for Betsoft as we continue to expand into new markets around the world. With our newly acquired Romanian license and continuous growth in Italy, this partnership made perfect sense."
Realistic Games
Reading-based casino content developer Realistic Games is making a splash with its latest slot game, Splashtastic!
The underwater-themed five-win line game features a wide array of tropical fish, boxed symbols to trigger the feature, as well as a top prize of x250 for reeling in three lucky life rings.
The free spin round awards 10 free spins where the player can double their entire free spins winnings every time the lucky pearl appears in any position on the centre reel.
"We're very excited about the launch of our new slot, Splashtastic! and look forward to it making waves for our operating partners," said Realistic Games commercial director Robert Lee. "Splashtastic! is another great example of the diversity of content that our partners can continue to see from Realistic in the months ahead."
Slots and table games provider Habanero has announced its latest release, Jump!
The slot features popular retro-themed symbols, including fruits, bells, and lucky number Sevens, as well as a synthesizer soundtrack.
Players are tasked with collecting coins, with five Jumping Joker re-spins triggering the free game bonus as win lines increase from 192 ways all the way up to 1,024.
By collecting all six symbols in winning combinations, players can also activate the Stacked Spin feature, with five of the same random symbols scattered randomly in the next spin, offering them the chance to unlock huge rewards.
"We have secured great success with high-volatility offerings in recent times as we look to cater for a wide-range of players," said Habanero head of corporate communications Toni Karapetrov. "Jump! is sure to resonate with them too thanks to its retro-themed symbols and sounds, all of which are delivered via the highest quality graphics and sound."
Pragmatic Play
Malta-based slots and live casino provider Pragmatic Play has release its latest slot game Master Chen's Fortune.
The 3x5 video slot is filled with beautifully crafted oriental symbols, many of which represent good luck, and features a brightly coloured background and immersive soundtrack.
Players can win both right to left and left to right, with plenty of win lines available. If the player encounters the Maneki-neko symbol they can multiply their total bet, while the Master Chen symbol acts as the wild.
"We are thrilled to unveil our newest game, Master Chen's Fortune," said Pragmatic Play chief commercial officer Melissa Summerfield. "Its colourful atmosphere and multiple ways to win make it one of our most action-packed slots yet.
"Master Chen's Fortune features some incredibly detailed symbols, and combined with our exciting win methods they lead to a highly immersive game with huge win potential."
Pragmatic Play has confirmed the launch of its games this week with licensed Portuguese online casino operator Solverde.
The agreement sees all of Pragmatic Play's content, including recent releases Da Vinci's Treasure and Peking Luck, made available to Solverde's players for the first time.
"We are delighted to have announced this agreement and taken our products live with one of Portugal's leading casino operators," said Summerfield. "We have made a concerted effort to cement our presence in a number of European markets, and Solverde are an exciting operator to work with as we continue to grow our footprint."
Solverde director Americo Loureiro added: "We are very pleased to have brought Pragmatic Play's games on board, signing with a provider that boasts a library of impressive and immersive games.
"We can't wait to see how our customers respond to Pragmatic Play's exciting content and are confident its products will form a key part of our casino offering."
Red Rake Gaming
Valencia-based casino games developer Red Rake Gaming has announced the release of its latest slot, Viva Las Vegas.
In the 5x4 reel video slot, music, fun and entertainment are the real stars of the show as players are immersed in Las Vegas.
The new video slot adds an original bonus feature with its heart gauge sidebar where players will receive free spins when achieving 4 or more straight respins, as well as having the opportunity to multiply their prizes.
During the Free Spins Bonus feature, the featured Viva Las Vegas symbols - inspired by the legendary sign welcoming visitors to the city - will operate as Wilds, offering even more prizes in turn.
2BY2 Gaming
Chicago-based slot developer 2BY2 Gaming has signed up to First Look Games new platform, which provides a direct link between studios and online casino affiliates in order to maximise exposure of their games.
2BY2 Gaming joins a growing list of developers, including 1X2 Network, to use the platform to share up-to-date information and assets for their games with publishers.
"We are thrilled by this partnership with 2BY2 Gaming and believe our platform will offer the developer tremendous value," said First Look Games founder Tom Galanis. "2BY2 Gaming is a well-established and thriving premier game studio which seeds its content through aggregators and will hugely benefit from the direct exposure First Look Games gives them within our publisher network."
Bob Schuijt, founder of MB Consulting International and the exclusive online distributor of 2BY2 Gaming slot content, said: "The challenge as a game supplier is that we have little to no control on how and to what extend operators promote our games. By directly connecting with the affiliates and their networks, we can finally bridge this gap and have better control to promote our great library of successful video slot games to a larger audience of players globally.
"The participating affiliates gain by having quicker and easier access to all of our game assets to be published as content to their readers, 2BY2 Gaming benefits by having better player exposure to our great games and the operators enjoy more wagering on our games as well. We are excited to work with First Look Games and to make this partnership a great success."

The Snap:
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is set to be one of the biggest theatrical releases of the year, and the film's soundtrack isn't anything to scoff at, either. The National have just released their single 'Lean', which will join the likes of Coldplay, The Weeknd, Imagine Dragons, and the Lumineers on the blockbuster's indie-focused collection.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will be in theaters on November 22, 2013.
The Download:
The National's contribution to The Hunger Games soundtrack was originally titled 'Dying is Easy', but it was deemed 'too dark' for the film. How it's possible to have anything considered 'too dark' for a movie that is entirely about children killing each other for the purpose of entertainment is beyond me.
Regardless, we now have Lean, which is still one hell of a dark song and will fit into the movie with ease. The track uses the phrase 'dying is easy' as a very key — and often repeated — line in the lyrics, as it slowly trudges on with the incredibly depressing sound that's been perfected by the band over the last fifteen years. The track is largely focused on fear, love, and death – much like the movie it was written for – and is actually one of the better songs I've heard from The National in a while.
It would be amazing to have Lean on an offical EP/LP, but unfortunately, it's going to be squeezed onto the soundtrack right before a Christina Aguilera song. Bummer.
I may be ten years older than your typical Hunger Games fan – and possibly the wrong gender – but I powered through all three books like an addicted fourteen year-old girl, and absolutely loved them. I'm definitely excited for Catching Fire, and it'll be interesting to see where this song – and many others on the soundtrack – will be placed into the movie.
Take Action!

From my experience, your 60s are a great time to be an entrepreneur. You finally know enough about yourself and business to make entrepreneurship's tough calls a lot easier. Here are four lessons for any entrepreneur.
Build investor confidence.
A lot of entrepreneurs resent the investor's desire to be involved in the business. There's insecurity about losing their "baby." It happened with one of my partners at my first startup in the 1990s. He wanted to keep them at arm's length; I learned to involve them enough so they'd be comfortable with our strategy. For example, ask your investor to interview a key hire. The job candidates like it because they learn more about the company's future and investors like having a voice in selecting key personnel. Find out upfront what level of involvement your potential investor wants and have the integrity to pass on the deal if you're not comfortable.
Purge the toxic.
As a young executive, I heard senior leaders say teamwork is the most important aspect of any organization. What if a key executive excels at his or her job but disrupts the rest of the team (and they simply won't change)? Let's say it's a sales leader who drives a lot of growth. You may be tempted to let the employee culture take a hit for the revenue, but that signals a lack of confidence in your strategy. It's a tough call with a startup because there's so much at risk. But I've lived through firing the bad kind of "disrupters." It's always the right choice.
Embrace a bigger purpose.
Do something that has meaning to you and others, and it will sustain you as an entrepreneur. I was raised in a small town where big retail chains arrived and put our local merchants out of business. That stuck with me because it threatened the fabric of our community. All of my startups have been in the retail propane business, which we grow by acquiring local companies. When we acquire a propane dealership, we don't change the name, the local management continues to make pricing and service decisions, and we contribute to local causes. Most of our competitors grow through acquisition, too, but they quickly rebrand the companies and take over the local operations. And they quickly lose about 20 percent of their customers because it's no longer locals doing business with someone they consider a neighbor. We keep it local, which fits our larger purpose—and it's good business.
Look under the radar.
"Rock star CEOs" and their high-risk tech ventures are exciting, sometimes inspiring. But there's money and opportunity in every industry, even low-growth ones. Look into lesser-known niche industries; some are begging for innovation. Pick one and create a unique strategy.
Wisdom and age have become cliché, but they play a part in being a successful entrepreneur. The other part includes getting to know your authentic self and always operating from that center.
Thomas Knauff is the founder and CEO of Chicago-based Energy Distribution Partners, which acquires and operates propane distribution companies and midstream assets. He is a serial entrepreneur, having founded three, private-equity-backed start-ups. He has completed and integrated more than 79 acquisitions.

I had an interesting exchange with a spokeswoman from the manufacturing giant Philips earlier this week. I reached out to that company because one of their newer, and cooler consumer products, the HUE "smart" light bulbs were the subject of an impromptu security audit that revealed some troubling security flaws.
As I reported on The Security Ledger (one among several such reports), HUE light bulbs, contain vulnerabilities that make them susceptible to attacks in which a remote attacker could use a compromised system on a home network to manipulate the HUE light bulbs.
Writing on his blog, (http://www.dhanjani.com) independent security researcher Nitesh Dhanjani revealed that the Philips wireless bridge that relays commands to the deployed HUE bulbs relies on a list of allowed "tokens" to validate the HTTP-format requests from authorized administrators. However, in the case of the iOS app that is used with HUE devices, those tokens are merely an MD5 hash of the whitelisted mobile device's Machine Access Code (or MAC) – a publicly broadcast and easily retrievable bit of identifying information.
Mind you – this isn't earth shattering, call-the-FEDS stuff. The most serious flaw discovered by Dhanjani would let a remote attacker turn bulbs on or off, or cause them to change color (one of the cool features of the HUE bulbs). That's irritating and perhaps nerve-wracking, especially in the hands of a mean spirited Internet troll of the kind that already hijack webcams and other household gear to torment their unsuspecting owners.
But Dhanjani was making a larger point with his demonstration hack of the HUE bulbs, namely: that Philips "and other consumer IoT (Internet of Things) organizations take issues like these seriously," he wrote. "In the age of malware and powerful botnets, it is vital that people's homes be secure from vulnerabilities like these that can cause physical consequences."
That wasn't an opinion shared by Philips. In an e-mail response to my request for comment, spokeswoman Silvie Casanova (great name, btw) repeated what has become something of a boilerplate statement for consumer device makers who wind up on the wrong side of security researchers.
Philips, she told me, "used industry standard encryption and authentication techniques to ensure that unauthorized persons cannot gain access to the lighting system. " Besides, any attack on a HUE bulb would need to come from the same network on which the bulb was deployed.
"An attack of the nature described really points to home wi-fi security as it requires that someone get past the security on your home computer or your private local area network to send commands within your home network," she wrote. "This would mean any device on that network would be compromised, including your personal data such as passwords, financial information, and traffic passing between any of your devices in your home (tablets, etc.)"
In other words: with access to your brokerage account, who really cares about the light bulbs in your living room? That's a valid point, to be sure. The problem is that Philips doesn't just make light bulbs. It's also one of the world's leading manufacturers of medical devices and industrial control equipment. And research suggests that for many large firms that operate horizontally, across verticals, security flaws tend to run in the family. In other words, the kinds of problems that Dhanjani identified in its HUE bulbs – weak encryption schemes, a lack of strong password enforcement – are likely to crop up in its other products.
As I said, the security problems discussed here aren't all that serious. But the security myopia of the product development organization that produced the HUE bulbs is. Critically: Philips has failed to learn the lesson that PC software makers like Microsoft and Adobe long ago absorbed: that adversaries exist, that vulnerable platforms will be exploited, and that the consequences of those attacks – measured by monetary damages and the damage to a company's reputation – can be hard to predict.
Philips was presented with evidence that the method they chose for creating secure tokens that allow mobile devices to authenticate to the wireless base station that manages HUE bulbs was trivially exploitable. Specifically: it relied on creating a "secure" cryptographic signature using two pieces of more or less public information: the MD5 algorithm and the MAC (machine address code) of the mobile device seeking access to the HUE base station. One writer likened that to using "a hashed street address as the combination to lock a front door.
The proper response would be for Philips to take the news of a trivial hack of the company's core method for authenticating mobile devices seriously. That would entail:
Instead, Philips reminded its customers to "take steps to ensure they are secured from malicious attacks at a network level, in order to protect all of their devices, including HUE."
Caveat emptor, indeed.

Year 1 – Ash & Oak Classes
As children transition from EYFS into KS1, we continue to build upon the characteristics of effective learning and the children's eagerness to be independent in their own learning. In KS1 children take part in a range of whole class, small group and independent work. This year we are developing an enquiry- based approach to topic work. Children will be given a key question when each topic is introduced and teachers will then follow the children's ideas and interests. At the start of each topic teachers will plan some key activities to meet the National Curriculum objectives, but will also allow opportunities to follow the children's interests. The topic questions and themes will follow a two-year cycle so teachers and children in year 1 and 2 can work on the same theme at the same time, providing opportunities for collaborative work across the key stage.
During this term in Year 1 we will be exploring the topic: 'Would you like to go to the moon?'
The children will also participate in Forest School sessions throughout the year. Please click here for information about the benefits of Forest Schools.

Companies will usually build their products overseas to keep manufacturing cost low. Unfortunately, the lower prices will come with some downsides. We are proud to be able to say that all our bikes are designed and built in the United States of America. You should consider buying American made because:
Keeping money in the United States helps to stimulate the overall US economy. Money is collected by the government when they tax the product, and also the employees making the product are being paid in US dollars.
It may not seem it, but building Stateside helps to reduce our overall carbon footprint. Shopping for American made products can help the environment. Shipping heavy gear halfway around the world eats up many fossil fuels. Our country also has a high standard for carbon emissions for US manufacturers, so factories pollute much less than in other regions of the world.
Our country also has high safety standards for manufactured products. Some countries do not closely monitor the quality of products being shipped out. When you shop at Worksman, you can rely on the high quality and safety of our building methods.
We make cargo bikes and adult tricycles for sale throughout the United States. All our bikes are proudly designed and built right here in the U.S.A.

That was the sound of the bell as two titans -- Oracle and Google -- came out of their corners on Tuesday to duke-out the final round in their epic legal battle over the latter's usage of Java APIs in the Android operating system. Already, this final round lacked no shortage of star power as Google started by putting its CEO Eric Schmidt on the witness stand. His role? To answer questions about many of the assumptions that Google made at the time it decided to base key parts of the Android operating system on Sun's Java technology; a technology that now belongs to Oracle.
While I am not a lawyer, in questioning Schmidt on Tuesday, Google may have tipped some of its hand on where it intends to take this case -- a direction that was somewhat confirmed by Wednesday's questioning of former Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz and Android founder Andy Rubin.
The outcome of this lawsuit, known to many as the "API copyright case," could potentially cast a dark pall across the entire software industry, not to mention the API economy, should it give rise to a new kind of intellectual property troll based on the copyrightability of APIs. After all, that's what Oracle is doing; trolling Google for a share of the $42 billion in riches that it has allegedly generated from its authorship of the Android operating system.
For those of you not up to speed the history of this case, it has been bouncing around the US court system for a while. Mostly to vet the question of whether APIs are indeed copyrightable. In a series of prior decisions that have put the US court system and Oracle at odds with, well, pretty much anyone who knows anything about how software is developed, that question (over the copyrightability of APIs) is no longer in question. They are.
Now, the only legal question that remains is whether or not Google had the right to use those APIs according to the highly ambiguous area of copyright law known as "fair use." Again, without descending into the murky semantics and precedents of the law, the basic question is, in building the Android operating system, did Google copy so much of Java that it should have gotten Sun's blessing first? Or, did it borrow few enough parts that, under copyright law, it really wasn't enough to rob Sun (and later Oracle) of the value it created in Java.
But, if Google has its way, by the time the trial is over, it may no longer be a question of fair use. Nor should it be. And from the looks of the first two days in this final round, Google will look to show that it was allowed to use the parts of Java that it did because it actually had a legitimate license to do so.
The courts, for their part, have made this into a case about fair use when, in my opinion, it's very much about the latitude of the license to Java that Google already had at the time that Google made a decision to use the parts of Java that it did. While I am not a lawyer, I spent a significant part of my career covering the ins and outs of open source law and spent a good majority of that time writing about the ins and outs of licensing Java. Much of that reporting started with how Microsoft was found to have misappropriated Java and then the ongoing saga of how companies like Oracle and IBM were hoping to wrest control of Java away from Sun (see IBM Pressures Sun to Free Java for example).
Open source software law is extremely complicated. It took me years to truly understand it and even longer to understand exactly how Sun uniquely applied it to its licensing of Java. Open source software has to do with the source code behind the software; the lines of code that programmers write as a part of the process of producing software. When a programmer writes lines of code, those lines are like the lines of text in this article that you're reading right now. They flowed from my brain, through my fingers, into a keyboard, and eventually into a document where my thoughts could be saved and later published. They are original thought. Unless I quote someone or some thing (like a website in the way that I'm about to quote ArsTechnica), they are my creation. They are the source code of the article.
When I create something like an article -- much the same way that a musician might arrange notes and chords to create a new song -- I own the copyright to that material unless I've assigned that copyright to someone or something else. In my case, I've assigned my copyrights to ProgrammableWeb.
So, source code (the source code that eventually results in software) is copyrightable in the same way that the text of my articles is copyrightable in the same way that the arrangement of notes that a musician used to create an original song are copyrightable. In fact, most source code, open source or not, will even have a copyright notice in it, specifying who or what organization holds the copyright to that source code. Even if it doesn't have such a notice, it's implied.
If you stopped here, you might think that Oracle has a solid case. The Java source code in question bore the copyright of Sun, which in turn accrues to Sun's current owner; Oracle. But this is where it gets complicated because, in the case of Java, the source code was available under an open source license.
The open source software movement is, in part, based on the idea that it's better for the world to share source code in a way that people can freely use it as is, "out of the box," or improve it. In order for anyone but the developer of the original source code to be allowed to do this requires what amounts to a special written exemption from the standard restrictions of copyright law; what is known as an open source license. One reason open source licensing is complicated is because of how many such licenses -- each a distinctly separate type of exemption from the others -- there are to pick from.
I am not sure how many open source licenses there were at the time that Sun decided to open source Java in 2006. But, if you are a software developer who is thinking about open sourcing your software today, there are 78 different open source licenses to pick from. Each of these licenses conforms to certain fundamental tenets of open source, one of the most important of which says "The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the original software."
Unless you have very deep pockets to pay a very good open source lawyer, you do not want to attempt to create yet another open source license. You would likely do as Sun did -- you would pick from the existing list. And in Sun's case, it picked one of the most permissible and popular of the open source licenses; the GNU General Public License (GPL). The GPL is the same license that was used to open source the source code behind GNU Linux; the basis of the source code found in most distributions of Linux.
Once source code is open sourced in this fashion, everyone who might use that source code gets the same license unless they negotiate a different license with the copyright holders. So, while the Court has narrowed the question of the API copyright case to one of fair use, the question might actually be whether Google was within its rights -- rights established by the GPL open source license -- to not only use the few parts of Java technology that it did, but all of Java if it so desired. Theoretically, because of how Sun open sourced Java under the GNU General Public License, all of Java was fair to use.
Judging by yesterday and today's testimony so far, Google's lawyers appear to be looking to establish that the question of fair use is easily answered by the terms of the open source license that came with Java at the time that Google used the parts of Java technology that it did.
"Now David," you may ask "why did you just call it Java technology instead of Java source code?"
Glad you asked because, as it turns out because this is one of the wrinkles. Google reproduced Java APIs, not the source code itself. If you read ProgrammableWeb's article on What Are APIs and How Do They Work, then you'll know that APIs are essentially an agreement (often referred to in API jargon as a "contract") between two separate components of software on how they will communicate with one another. It's like the agreement that the plug for your hair dryer has with the wall socket; the size of the prongs, the way the electricity flows, and the type of electricity that it is (voltage, frequency at which the current's direction alternates, etc.). When two pieces of software speak to one another, each piece has its own source code to manage that interaction. But the API itself consists of no source code. It's just an agreement that sets the expectations of the two pieces of software.
As said earlier, the previous decisions of the Courts have determined (tragically so) that this agreement is copyrightable. There is no going back on that in the context of this case. One big question however, is whether those agreements -- those APIs -- wherever they exist in the open source implementation of Java (wherever two pieces of open source software are "talking" to one another), fall under the jurisdiction of the open source license that goes with the source code itself. Put another way, if, when a body of source code is open sourced in a way that Sun open sourced the source code behind its implementation of all the Java components, are the APIs (the agreements) that govern how those software components talk to one another open sourced as well, or must they be licensed separately?
Many, including me, would argue that those agreements -- copyrightable or not -- must be included. Otherwise, the open source code itself is useless. For example, imagine downloading some open source code that involves two software components talking to one another and finding out that, in getting your open source license to that code, the means by which they talk to one another is not included in the license. In other words, in order to not run afoul of the original author's copyright, you must re-engineer both components to exchange the same information that they originally exchanged, but by way of a completely different agreement of your own making. Imagine if GNU Linux was originally distributed under this pretense. Linux would never have achieved the popularity it did and the number of distributions that it has. The entire computer industry would be very different than it is today (including Oracle which has built and extracted its own value and profit out of Linux). The amount of API re-engineering required would have stopped Linux dead in its tracks. It would have been dead on arrival.
Like any other publisher of open source code, Sun would never have intended for the APIs to not fall under the open source license. In fact, similar to how Linux achieved the volume that it did, Sun was very explicit about its goal at the time it was open sourcing Java; volume. According to a ComputerWorld article dating back to 2006, Sun's then Chief Open Source officer Simon Phipps said "What matters to us is to create volume, and when we create volume, we'll create revenue. We made Unix available for free with OpenSolaris 10. But customers want services for patches and help. We find that most customers want that service and pay us for it. By giving it away, we have increased the use of Solaris in a large way and have gotten larger revenue for support."

Tamika Faulkner is a friend of our first Women Who Wanders, Kristen Wiggins. We met Tamika via an introduction from Kris and instantly fell in love with her energy, lust for life, and pursuit to her goals on all fronts – travel and career. Read on to get travel tips, advice on working for the US State Department, and learn about where she's headed to next. You can find her on IG or Twitter – @Lovebird_Monroe or check out her non-profit on IG or Twitter – @PiecesofMeOrg.
Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where have you been and where are you headed?
Ciao! I'm Tamika, an Aquarian born in Washington, DC and raised in the gorgeous Prince George's County, Maryland. I'm one who likes to dabble in many things: art, film, music, technology, cooking, etc. I'm the type of person who will try ALMOST anything once and somewhat of an adrenaline junkie. I live for in-depth conversations, astrology, Netflix, sweets, clear ocean blue waters and roller coasters.
So far, I've traveled throughout North America ( U.S., Mexico, Canada), Europe (Italy, U.K., and Paris), Africa (Kenya), South America (Costa Rica), Caribbean (St. Thomas, USVI, Jamaica, Cuba), Asia (U.A.E., Malaysia, Maldives,and Indonesia).
Where I'm Headed – Italy and Jamaica again this summer. Hopefully, I get to check off Belize, Iceland, and Colombia in the next year. I actually have a challenge for myself: 30 countries by 30. So far I'm 17/30 and I have a lot more to go! It honestly doesn't help that my family keeps dragging me to the same countries, but I'm grateful to travel no matter what.
How did you begin traveling? What fears did you face? What major challenges?
I began traveling in my mom's womb. Seriously! Almost every year, or twice a year, I would go to Jamaica all the time to visit family or go to family reunions. Then after that, we started traveling to Canada and other places within the U.S.
When it came to traveling, I never had any fears. I never had a fear of traveling honestly by plane, boat, or car. I was always excited to go somewhere, no matter if it was for work or play, I loved being on the go.
One of the biggest challenges I had traveling was when Kristen and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. I almost got seasick. However, I popped some medicine and slept it off. That was my first time on a cruise ever. We were 16 and adventurous. Other than that, other major challenges when it comes to traveling is packing; I'm ALWAYS overweight. My mom tells me I travel with everything but the kitchen sink – which is true. My friends and family always tell me I have way too many things, but I always end up having something they need on our trips! I'm the person who has the bag full of never-ending supplies – like a Hogwarts student.
Why do you think travel is important for WOC?
Travel is important for women of color because we should see how life is outside of America. It's important to immerse yourself in another culture, for there will always be pros and cons, but the experience is unforgettable. As a woman of color who has traveled to Europe (Italy, Paris, and London) and Asia (U.A.E, Indonesia, Malaysia, Maldives), I've been more respected in these places of the world than in my own country. The love that I get for being a Black American Woman – baby listen – it makes me feel like royalty. I feel like a Goddess because I'm approached, respected, and appreciate for my beautiful brown skin, beauty, and brains. Throughout my experience so far, I've been approached more by men, everyone wants to take pictures with me, more people in Asia are fascinated by my hair, and the food is always amazing in Europe. Honestly, women of color should travel to these places to get a taste of the goddess life abroad. Now don't get me wrong, the feeling is amazing, but there are always going to be assholes anywhere you go in the world. I've never experienced any racism abroad except on AirBerlin going from Italy to Germany and Germany to Boston. However, AirBerlin is a German company. Please avoid that airline as much as possible if you're black.
You chose to pursue a career with the U.S. State Department. Talk to us about the foreign affairs industry, how you got your start, and any advice for someone looking to get into the field.
The foreign affairs industry changes daily. There is always something going on and it can be a good thing or a bad thing. I work for the security section of my agency, so we handle the security overseas in embassies and consulates, as well as, domestic. Beyond that, I've had some great opportunities within my bureau; I have supported the United Nations General Assembly, traveled to Nairobi, Kenya, and I currently have a potential opportunity to live abroad. The best part of my agency is that you can go from Civil Service (domestic) to Foreign Service (abroad) career paths and vice versa.
I started out in Washington, DC as a Pathways Intern and moved my internship to Los Angeles, CA. After my internship was about to expire, I was converted over to a full-time Civil Service employee. After working like crazy for the first 2 years, I eventually created a position in my office to apply to. After competing, I was offered the job. Now, I'm in the process of moving over into the Foreign Service.
If you're looking to get your foot in the federal government, especially my agency, start off with an internship if you can. It doesn't matter if it's paid or not because you should see if the government life is for you. It also gives you the opportunity to explore other departments and or bureaus. Next, if you make it in as a Pathways Intern or Recent Graduate Intern, find a way to STAY in. Network and create relationships with people, find a mentor to help you, and create your OWN opportunities. Do not wait for something to be handed to you. Lastly, ask people about their jobs/careers: what do they do, what do they like, what do you they not like. You shouldn't stop at just asking one person. People have different points of view, but that should help you to decide what path is right for you after you network and research. Furthermore, see what your agency offers: do they offer temporary duty assignments abroad, flex connect opportunities to work in other offices, remote positions, training abroad? All of these things can help guide you on your journey.
What advice would you give WOC who want to better use their resources to travel or pursue a career that will enable them to live and work abroad?
My advice to WOC who want better use their resources to travel is to RESEARCH; Google, Instagram, Twitter search EVERYTHING. I also look at maps….A LOT. We have like five maps in my work office and I'm always staring at them trying to figure out my next destination. The benefit of my job is that I work with a lot of Foreign Service Officers who move every 2-3 years, so they are always suggesting places for me to travel to and warning me about where not to go. Honestly, use your network (friends), especially if you see them traveling all the time. I would ask Kristen about booking engines and hotel websites on top of Google searching and reading travel blogs/articles. To be honest, I subscribed to Travel + Leisure and they are always sending me daily emails full of articles on when to travel to certain locations, where to travel by zodiac sign, when the cheapest flights are offered, etc. Stop what you're doing and subscribe.
In regards to pursuing a career that will let you live and work abroad, this is a little tricky. If you have a job that you like and you're able to convince them that you want to move abroad and work remotely or at a different office – go for it! Also, sometimes, you just have to pick up and go. You will figure everything else out on the way. There are so many odd jobs abroad that will help you get money but also save money. You can become an Au Pair, a House Sitter, a Babysitter, etc. You would be surprised how many things you can do in exchange for housing or for cash — that is legal. The last thing I would suggest is to maybe join the Foreign Service. Go to careers.state.gov and look up the opportunities that are offered and the benefits. You honestly can't go wrong with any of them. Life is a box of chocolates full of opportunities and surprises.
What, if any, do you see as cons of the nomad lifestyle or a career that requires lots of travel? What do you view as the pros?
For most people, a few big cons of the nomad lifestyle are that people get homesick, people miss certain American things, and moving all the time can feel like you don't have any real roots laid down. A career that requires lots of travel can mean that you rarely or never see your family for months or years, you miss out on baby showers, weddings, funerals, graduations, etc. However, it eventually pays off and sometimes you have to remember that you deserve to take your vacation days. Many people forget to take time off for their mental and physical being, which makes them grumpy. With those people, you can encourage them to take a break or stay away from their energy. You do not want that energy in your presence.
One of the pros to living abroad is that it's cheaper to jump to different countries. In addition, you also get to learn new languages, try new food, meet new people, and visit parts of the world that people do not even know of. You get to introduce your followers/friends/family members to parts of the world where they can only imagine going. Another pro to living abroad depending on your situation is the amount of money you can save. Listen — Asia is CHEAP. I'm talking about Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand CHEAP. I know if I decide to move with my job, the biggest benefit is that I will rarely have bills besides my student loan, cell phone, and internet.
What can we expect from you moving forward and how can we be of support?
What you can expect from me soon is that I hope to move abroad within the next two years. Also, I'm starting law school in the fall – finally (haha). Furthermore, I just created an AMAZING non-profit called Pieces of Me, Inc.; my organization is dedicated to teens and young adults who have Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and helping them with social development and educational enrichment.
You can support me right now, for I'm trying to raise $7-10K on Go Fund Me to send people with Autism Spectrum Disorder to see Avengers: Infinity War during Autism Awareness Month (April). People who are diagnosed with ASD have many talents, which is their superpower. In their own way, people with ASD are superheroes. Please help by sharing this fundraiser so we can help not only people with ASD but even the people with ASD that are in lower socio-economic areas. This campaign is called #AvengersforAutism.
In the end, how do you want your story depicted? What legacy do you want to leave behind?
I want to be depicted as the person who loved everyone and everything she cared about. I want to be remembered for being compassionate, helpful, and adventurous. The legacy I want to leave behind is that I never take NO for a final answer. Always turn your NO's into a YES! Heck, I always make sure I turn a maybe into a YES.
Just for kicks:
- Favorite place you've been?
Florence, Italy & Maldives
- Must have item on a trip?
Portable Toilet Paper & Hand Sanitizer – You would be surprised how many places abroad do not have these things in restrooms.
- Favorite flight booking software? www.momondo.com

Hi @corybernardi pic of me in dress as CE of SA Att Gens Dept raising money for charity. Happy to do it again as CE @DECD_SA #doitinadress pic.twitter.com/2mst6EmU7M— Rick Persse (@rickpersse) September 21, 2017
After a primary school had started a campaign to raise $900 for women's education in Africa, a senator in South Australia voiced his disproval of the charity effort on Twitter. His grumpy tweet backfired, however, and the backlash resulted in an epic outpouring of $250,000 in donations.
Craigburn Primary School in Adelaide started the "Do It In A Dress" campaign as a means of encouraging their students to raise money for scholarships for girls in Africa, who are required to buy a school dress before attending school.
CHECK OUT: Over $60K Raised for Vendor After Video Shows Police Seizing His Money
"The main thing, of course, is to focus on supporting the education of girls in Africa," says the school.
Senator Cory Bernardi then tweeted a link to the fundraiser, saying: "One school in SA now has 'wear a dress day'. This gender morphing is really getting absurd."
The senator later explained that he felt the campaign was a politicized attempt to force a more liberal, non-gender conforming agenda on primary school students – however, the school responded by saying that they simply thought it would be a fun way for the children to raise money for girls.
"If I look at it in the context of the amount of awareness it's raised and the money, I think it's superb," Craigburn Primary School principal Paul Luke told ABC Radio Adelaide. "If those kids want to have a bit of fun along the way, who is a politician to come along and condemn them for doing so?"
MORE: Public Raises $100K For Widower Selling Kindling to Pay Wife's Medical Bills
All of the donations are being given to the One Girl charity – an organization that provides educational scholarships to girls in Africa. The nonprofit's CEO Morgan Koegel said that while she was delighted over the enormous amount of donations, she was exasperated by Bernardi's social media post.
"When I saw that Wednesday night, the tweet, I honestly face-palmed because it was just so far off what the campaign's all about," said Koegel, according to ABC.
"In the schools that we work in, in Sierra Leone and Uganda, a school dress is a really big deal because only one in six girls has the opportunity to go to high school. For a girl to get to wear a school dress, that means she's educated, that she's empowered, that she's had an opportunity and so we use it to represent the same thing here."
The school's donation page has crashed several times from the amount of traffic generated by the controversial tweet. Since Bernardi linked to the page last week, however, it has already raised $272,800 – and still counting.

Elgato Systems Game Capture HD High 1080p Definition Game Recorder
Best Video Capture Card
Expert Review
This is probably your best overall option if you primarily want a video capture card for streaming or recording video games on your PC or via a console. It offers the absolute best video performance possible since it can capture HD video up to 1080p at 60 fps, which is as good as or better than any other card out there. The specs are a bit of overkill if you're looking to just do some casual video capture, but the quality can make you stand out among other streamers and gamers posting videos.
This card features Flashback Recording which lets you go back on your computer to a previous spot in your gaming and start recording, even if you weren't already recording. You can easily stream your video along with some neat features to add custom overlays (such as a webcam) during recording for editing and later use. The included software is also very intuitive, making it easy to stream, record, and edit your video. Although you can buy adapters for other input types, this video capture card works best ideal with an HDMI input or just working right off your computer.

Art and antiques have their own vocabulary. Words like chinoserie, chiaroscuro, and period are all common to the expert appraiser or antiques collector.
Know the Vocabulary
One word is misused so regularly by so-called experts that it requires some explanation. Patina is a commonly misused term in the art and antiques world. It is usually incorrectly used to describe the appearance of an oily build-up or residue on the surface of stained wood furniture (chairs, tables, desks, etc.). It is often mistakenly used to describe the oily build up on wood. You often hear some TV show appraisers advise "Don't strip the patina off that table top!" or "From the patina, I can tell that it is an American made mahogany chair from the 1800s." This is not the correct way to use the word patina.
Correct Use of Patina
Patina is a process which relates to the application of color or pigment onto a work of cast metal sculpture. The patination process occurs at a cast metal foundry whereby pigment is applied to a metal sculpture to enhance the look of the metal. The term patina describes the application of color or a finish to a metal sculpture's surface. It is not like slapping some paint on an old fence, it is a skilled method of pigment application.
Patination is applied to a surface, it is NOT a result of the aging process which occurs over time and it does not describe a state of condition on an antique either. The vocabulary of art history is important to know if you are trying to learn and understanding the discipline. Look for a consistent patina on your sculpture and you'll find value too.
Trying to sell your antiques, but are a little unsure of the process? Do you have concerns of buyers knowing more than you about the antiques' business? Dr. Lori offers guidelines and tips so you don't get taken by a dishonest buyer, get misled by an auction house, or sell to an antiques appraiser. Avoid these issues so you make the most money when selling your antiques and collectibles.

The spring semester of your senior year in college can make you feel stressed, excited, carefree, and most likely scared. One of the worst things that can happen to college seniors is developing a serious disease that's hard to bounce back from: Senioritis. Of course we all joke about having senioritis, but it is no laughing matter. You may skip one too many classes and think you're on track to graduate, but you could be in danger of adding an extra semester.
While you're busy planning your spring break in the Bahamas, life is moving quickly around you. After spring break is over, you only have a few weeks until graduation! Scared yet? Don't be. Here is the perfect 6 Step College Graduation Checklist to keep you on track.
1. Stay Organized
Probably the best tip I can give you is to use a planner. Make sure you write down all your tests in your planner and keep track of your graduation emails (read them completely)! There are important dates and deadlines for ordering your cap and gown, diploma and signing up for your actual time of graduation. Imagine how disappointed your family will be when you forget to order your cap and gown and can't walk across that stage. I know my dad dreams about that day (mainly because it means I'll be off his payroll)!
2. Take Care of Yourself
While having fun your senior year is important, so is making sure you stay healthy with your mind and body. Keep yourself sane by staying organized (see above) and keeping your last semester stress free. Find your own way to manage your stress whether that is yoga, running, talking to your mom (my personal favorite), or even going to your best friend's house to watch a movie. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as it helps you think clearer and makes your last semester a little less stressful.
3. Go to Career Fairs
If you already have a job, props to you. However, still go to the career fairs offered at your school and network with some of the professionals who could help you build connections and relationships. If you are one of the many who do not have a job yet, don't worry you are not alone. Going to the career fair can be vital for finding a job as well as reaching out to your advisors and the career center. Making sure you build connections at an early time in your life can help you out in the long haul when you are between jobs or looking for another career path. Visiting your career center can also help you with building up your resume, expanding your LinkedIn connections, finding a career path, and many even offer practice interviews for your first real job interview. Expanding your options and reaching out to your school can do nothing but help you.
4. Keep Motivated
Spring semester, especially your last spring semester, will be full of exciting Spring events that you won't want to miss out on. This includes spring day parties, athletic events, and your last ever spring break. While it's important to make the most out of your last semester of college, it is more important that you don't fail. As I mentioned earlier, don't just put off your studying and group projects, as it will eventually sneak up on you. Remember, after spring break you have roughly 6 weeks until finals week. Think of it this way, if you get your work done earlier, you'll have more time to enjoy your last semester.
5. Be Realistic
I'm not saying don't strive to achieve your dreams, but if you have a 2.0 and a less than impressive resume, don't expect to get into a top Grad School or in a top tier company, much less start out with a six-figure salary. The job market is notoriously very selective and competitive which makes it much harder to stand out to employers. Although it may be too late to get that five-star internship, it's not too late to reach out for recommendations, earn certifications, spruce up your resume, and build connections wherever possible. Remember, life after graduation is all about who you know and how hard you're willing to work.
6. Be Passionate
Finally, I know everyone wants to be a millionaire driving the nicest car on the market, but is it worth it if you're doing something you hate? Find something that you're passionate about. Say you find yourself about to graduate with a job that you don't care for in a city you don't love. It's not the end of the world. Many people after graduation land in a job or industry that has nothing to do with their college majors. The job you start out in after graduation does not define your life and you are not glued to that desk chair. Although you may have to stick it out for about a year or so, everything will be okay. It's hard to adjust to life where you're not sleeping until noon every day and doing the bare minimum for your classes. But you can do it. Just remember, being in the "real world" really isn't so bad.
Here at Verge Pipe Media, we gladly interview, train and produce top interns who go on to bigger things at other agencies and brands after they leave Auburn. Part of their success later in life stems from the required inbound certification, Linkedin profile and introduction to the world of integrated marketing. If you missed out on your opportunity to intern here at VPM, you can still learn about integrating inbound and traditional marketing by downloading the free eBook below. Use your newfound knowledge to impress your boss!

Recent studies have demonstrated that babies use touch more than any other sense to gather information during the first months of their lives.
The human baby is quite a remarkable thing, and babies' minds even more so. It's hard to think back to a time when we were babies, although many of us can more or less pinpoint our earliest memory. For most, that memory came at about the age of three or four years old. Those first few years of our lives are only remembered by those around us and we have to rely on our parents and families telling us what we were like when we were babies.
What are we up to during those formative years though? Well, we're learning of course. Learning to walk, and talk, but how about really early on? Some recent studies suggest that we are learning right from the beginning of life and that learning is being done primarily through touch as opposed to seeing and listening. In fact, during pregnancy, touch is the first sense to develop in a baby's brain.
Dr. Andrew Meltzoff of the University of Washington recently conducted study that tested how 60-day old infants respond to touch, and he discussed his findings with the New York Times. When the left hand was touched, a response registered in the right-hand side of the babies' brains, as expected. Interestingly though, "The strongest response is to the lips" Dr. Joni Soby explained, the other author on the study. Since infants of that age primarily use their lips to eat and suck, that makes a lot of sense.
Another study conducted earlier this year provided even more proof that babies utilize touch during the first stages of their lives. Seven-month-olds were shown footage of someone else's hand being touched, and it activated the areas in the brain that would become active if their own hands were being touched. That means "babies as young as 7 months are able to connect self and other," Dr. Meltzoff explained.
What all of this means is that before babies do anything else, before they see us walking around on two feet and trying to mimic us, or hear us speak and in turn learn to talk, they are first discovering themselves. When they lie in their cribs and throw their hands around and grab at their face, they are learning about their own bodies and using touch to do so more than any other sense.

ON One Band emerged winners at this year's Midlands Province Chibuku Road to Fame finals held in Gweru at Msika bar, Mutapa on Saturday.
On one band got the provincial grand price of $500.
They shrugged off competition from Eccosa Rhythms who pocketed $300 for being first runners-up while Mopane pocketed $200 for coming up third.
Speaking to H-Metro, the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ) programmes officer Honour Muvango said the limited number of participants was due to the fact that many bands were based outside Gweru culminating into having financial difficulties to get to the venue.
"Many bands that are not recorded come from Kwekwe, Gweru does not have competing groups so many of them failed to secure bus fare to the venue," said Muvango.
The first prize winners expressed their gratitude over their recognised efforts.
"The victory was a relief to us after a long time of trying and practicing," said Moses Zulu of On One band.
However, other artists from Kwekwe grumbled over the limited number of participants especially considering the fact that the competitions were at Provincial level.
One of the artistes who spoke to this publication on condition of anonymity suggested that the competitions should have been held in Kwekwe which had about 30 bands.
"This competition is a true reflection of how NACZ is mismanaging that event and manipulating artistes."

For more than a decade, the City of Corsicana has pursued a water park, and now it is beginning to take shape.
The Corsicana Water and Adventure Park is a 23-acre development at the intersection of Interstate 45 and U.S. 287, roughly behind the Denny's, and projected to open in summer 2014. The official announcement of the project came Thursday night at the annual Chamber of Commerce banquet.
Developer of the project is Michael A. Jenkins, who has experience with Six Flags, Disney, and more than 1,080 other recreational parks around the world. He has more than 40 years of experience in the field.
The project began when the city asked Jenkins to look at the feasibility of a water park in Navarro County, and he liked the numbers so much he signed on as developer, according to Lee McCleary, economic development director for the City of Corsicana and Navarro County.
Having the water park in Corsicana will benefit the hotels and motels, of course, but also restaurants and other venues in the area. The estimate is that it will attract 115,000 people each year from Navarro County and surrounding counties. The estimate is that it will generate annual sales taxes of just under $300,000.
"The main objective of the Corsicana Water and Adventure Park is to provide a unique entertainment opportunity for the Corsicana residents and serve as a major tourist attraction," said Mayor Chuck McClanahan. "The facility will offer unique, interactive experiences not found elsewhere in the market area, or even in surrounding cities."
County Judge H.M. Davenport said the location of the park will help boost the county's economy, and growth in the I-45/287 area, specifically.
"I think it's a great deal and will be a big economic boon to the county," he said. "The location is excellent."
Added to the Cinergy Cinemas, which opened in 2011, the water park will be another entertainment draw to Corsicana and that area, he said.
Although there has been talk of building a water park in the area for at least 20 years, this one will happen, Jenkins said.
"Absolutely, totally," he said. "It will be a first-class family place."
Jenkins added that Corsicana is an ideal place for a water park, because it's far enough away from Dallas not to be competitive, and centrally located to other counties and communities.
People already drive to Corsicana for dining and entertainment, he said.
"The City of Corsicana is fortunate to have Michael A. Jenkins as the developer for the project," McClanahan stated. "Michael is the President of Leisure and Recreation Concepts, Inc. (LARC), founded 43 years ago by him with offices in Dallas, Tokyo, and Singapore. The Corsicana project will be among more than 1,080 theme parks, water parks, and adventure parks that Michael has conceptualized, evaluated, planned, built, or operated. These projects span the globe from Brazil to Thailand. In addition to the Corsicana project, Michael's most recent project is the multi- million dollar Oceanfront Megaplex recently announced that will be located in Virginia Beach. Michael also produces Broadway shows for the Dallas Summer Musicals in Dallas where he has been the President since 1994."
The park will be done in phases, with Phase 1 including a large lagoon with zip lines over it, and paddle boats, and a water fountain show; a "lazy river" ride, which will pass by a stage, and curl around two play pools; designs include several eating places, a beach volleyball court, and large go-cart course.
"We want it to be a wholesome family place," Jenkins said.
