Tv shows have changed a lot during the past 20 years, with the rise of "premium" shows. One of the most important changes is that most shows that want to be taken seriously, feature a serialized format that tells a story over an entire season or even several seasons, these days. At first, I was intrigued by the prospect of serialized Star Trek shows: With a format of shows like "Game of Thrones" or "The Expanse", it would be possible to add so much more depth to Star Trek, I assumed. But after four seasons of DSC and 2 seasons of PIC, I feel the by far best new Star Trek is SNW, which goes back to the episodic format of standalone episodes. Imo, all season arcs on DSC and PIC were crap -- instead of adding depth, they became badly written storylines full of pointless cliffhangers, absurd detours and deus ex machina slaughterfests. When you cannot write arcs, don't try writing arcs. Imo, it's obvious the showrunners of current Trek can't write arcs. So should future new Star Trek shows return to the episodic format?
I think Prodigy is doing pretty well with the serialization. The beauty of having five Trek series at the same time is that we can have some serialized and some non-serialized. No need to go all in on just one.
Or a combination. I'm old enough to remember the introduction of serialisation in television shows, notably in the form of Hill Street Blues and St Elsewhere. They had an excellent balance in that shows would have elements that were the feature of the individual episodes, plus important carry-overs into subsequent episodes, as well as ongoing character development. The carried-over elements were usually four episodes in length, not unlike old Dr Who (!) and told a complete story, with character relationships evolving throughout the season. This 1:4:10 (or what a season is now) might work for Star Trek to allow for edgier storytelling.
I don't think that the issue is that its serialized. Its that its trying to connect the universe together. But when looking at solely the live action Kurtzman era, its confusing in a way previous eras weren't. The Roddenberry era would be described as about the adventures of Kirk and his crew on the Enterprise, and then the adventures of the Ent-D a hundred years later. It represents an optimistic future The Berman era would be described as the adventures of Starfleet in the 24th century, and how it all began in the 21st and 22nd centuries. Optimism is tested over and over, but Starfleet shows strong resolve. With Kurtzman era, I don't know how to describe the story when bringing the three live action shows together, as its very disjointed. Spoiler: Some Future Spoilers Ahead DIS S1 – Federation-Klingon War/Mirror Universe/family drama after Burnham is adopted by Ambassador Sarek and Amanda Grayson; spore drive & Kelpians introduced; Discovery has LCARS like touchscreen panels and holographic communication 100 years early for some reason; Harry Mudd; Archer, Pike and April references DIS S2 – Red Angel, Control, Section 31, intro to Pike/Spock/Una, Discovery jumps to the future SNW S1 - introduced to Robert April; 1/6 leads to Second U.S. Civil War, Eugenics Wars and WWIII; The Gorn; Captain Angel; various adventures; alternate timeline where Federation and Romulans go to war if Spock dies; Una arrested; Pike wrestles with fate; young Kirk introduced SNW S2 – planned to be a continuation of S1 PIC S1 – Utopia Planetia and Romulus destroyed; Federation synth ban; less optimistic Starfleet & Federation; intro to Qowat Milat, Zhat Vash, & Fenris Rangers; Picard gets a synth body; extragalactic synths; 3D panels PIC S2 – Q returns; Confederation of Earth; 2024 Los Angeles; Europa mission is key to dealing with climate change; Arik Soong; Borg-Federation alliance against a transwarp conduit; Watchers; young Guinan; Admiral Janeway stood up for Seven years ago and got denied by Starfleet; Rios stays behind in the 21st century to hang out with a hot doctor and her kid PIC S3 – reunion of TNG crew, and story is connected to DS9: Moriarty, the Titan, and Ent-F will appear. DIS S3 – Discovery arrives in the 32nd century; The Burn; Federation gone; Spock's role in reunification results in Ni'Var; Emerald Chain rises; United Earth broke away from the Federation; Terran Empire falls centuries earlier; Mirror Georgiou dropped off in the past somewhere by Carl: Voyager-J; programmable matter, advanced holography, and transporter combadges DIS S4 – Archer spacedock unveiled, extragalactic aliens destroying planets, Qowat Milat presence; Grey gets a synth body like Picard, United Earth becomes part of the Federation again DIS S5 – from what we know so far, they are done rebuilding the Federation and are going on a treasure hunt What coherent story is here? The events depicted in Kurztman's 23rd century doesn't matter to the 25th century and is skipped over entirely. And the 32nd century barely cares about the 25th century and cares even less about the 23rd century, despite a crew actually being from the 23rd century. Is the Kurtzman era about the rise, fall and rebirth of civilizations (Federation, Romulans)? As that's the only thing I can think of.
This. Anyone who hasn't given Prodigy a look yet because "it's a kids' show!" should go into it with an open mind. You'll be surprised. Yeah, there are certain parts where it's very obvious "it's a kids' show!" but the serialization is very good. The only thing I agree with you on here is that it's your opinion. Between those six seasons, the only case where I think it had serious problems was PIC Season 2. Granted, I also wasn't too thrilled with what caused The Burn in DSC Season 3, but that has nothing to do with it being serialized; I just wish they went with something else. If you don't like Serialized Trek, then you don't have to watch it. No one's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to watch. If you don't want to see any Serialized Trek, just stick to SNW. Problem solved. It's easy and allows those of us who do enjoy the serialized format to continue to enjoy it and wait to see what happens next. There's room for both. The days of "it has to be this!" or "it has to be that!" are over.
I see your point. And I agree, serialization has not always been bad since 2017. You are right, Prodigy so far has done it well (guess I forgot about that, because Prodigy is not what enters my mind first, because it's a non-life action kids show, albeit a good one) ... and I found the arc in PIC season 1 okay. Guess my main problem is with DSC. The season arcs so far always boil down to a huge galactic catastrophe/entity that threatens the universe ... which I find repetetive. Plus there are many other reasons why DSC doesn't really work for me. But naturally, other people feel differently. It's just my impression that so far, the "NuTrek" makers don't handle serialization as well as shows such as "Game of Thrones" or "The Expanse" (just examples). I feel there are pointless cliffhangers between episodes for the sake of it and unnecessary detours ... but maybe that is more a problem of "NuTrek" writing in general, and it's less a problem because of the serialized format. Or maybe just I feel like that.
I did. It doesn't work for me. The last few seasons pretty definitively demonstrated that "Game of Thrones" didn't handle serialization well, from the moment they ran out of source material. "The Expanse" did great, but it ran out of show before it ran out of books. Maybe the lesson is that great serialized TV needs to know where it's going right from the very start. I'm still waiting for a modern Trek season that shows even a glimmer of sticking the landing on even a 10-episode season, mostly because "making it up as we go" is a failed production model for serialized TV.
Season 4 of ENT nailed serialization of Trek imo. 3 or 4 episode mini-arcs gave the story's breathing room without taking all damn season to tell them.
I think that, as with most things, it's a bad idea to reduce it to a binary choice. Episodic and serial storytelling are not mutually exclusive options, but ingredients in the mix. I like it when shows have a good balance of the two, making each episode worthwhile on its own while still having a larger continuity and growth. I think the first half of DSC season 4 handled its serial element very well. The threat of the anomalies was not a single story so much as a catalyst for a set of standalone stories about the various impacts of the crisis. Once it became a single serialized story in the second half-season, it just felt padded and dragged out. Season 3 was similar -- in the first half, the arc was just discovering the new era one piece at a time, with the Burn thread and the Emerald Chain thread becoming more central toward the end. So they've almost got it, but not quite. Prodigy has a good balance, as mentioned -- it has an evolving arc from episode to episode, but aside from the past few endgame episodes, each installment has been a complete story of its own. Lower Decks and SNW are both pretty good at being episodic with continuing character and story threads surfacing periodically, much like TNG and the majority of DS9. Picard is the most serialized show and essentially the weakest. Season 1 wasn't bad at telling a single coherent story, but it felt like it changed course from its more character-driven beginnings and overemphasized blockbuster action toward the end. And season 2 was a mess, padding out a story that could've been told in 2-4 hours with endless digressions and continuity porn.
The problem with Star Trek's serialized seasons is that they're only ever about two subjects: war or the galactic apocalypse. Maybe do a story arc for a season that doesn't involve either subject.
No. We have serialized, non serialized, semi-serialized, cartoon, live action and 'children' Star Trek. Meaning, Star Trek has finally evolved beyond the Berman-era where they made-believe it was something new with each show but it was the same formula with a different coating. By the way, I'm still a Niner. But the current era of Star Trek is actually diverse. Sure, you don't have to love all or even like all of it. But there's something for everyone. Holy shit..... Star Trek finally did IDIC!!!! Whodathunkit!!!
Which is my preference. Stop trying to make it all the same and be unique and different and Trek unlike we've seen before. Otherwise, reruns suffice.
I love the episodic nature of SNW and the way it also ties everything together somehow. That's peak storytelling in my opinion. But I also love longer arcs, if they're done well, and think Trek shouldn't be confined to one method or the other. That's the beauty of Trek, it's all so different and I think it should continue to be varying and unique.
That's the key right there. You gotta know where you're heading and what you want each episode to convey. DS9 had a relatively good combination of episodic while still continuing an overarching story. B5 is probably the better example from that time. LOST had a great premise.....and lost it halfway through. You could feel they were making it up as they went. STD and STP are poor examples of storytelling. To your question, I suppose the answer is no. They just have to come up with a better plan.....and better story.
They don't appear to think beyond the current season they're producing. The only season of serialized NuTrek that wasn't a rejig / reset was Disco S4. It's a lazy formula. Each season is plug 'n play and largely cut off from the preceding season. It's why NuTrek feels so underdeveloped; there's no substantive continuation between seasons. It's the worst of all worlds; you lose out on those individual episodic classics that light up a season - think Duet, The Offspring, The Defector, Death Wish. But then, they're not putting any effort into telling a story on a larger canvas, so keep falling back on these half-baked mystery boxes. For example, look at The Expanse, Better Call Saul & Battlestar Galactica. They all used serialization to varying degrees. Each season of those shows had character and story arcs that were born and resolved within the confines of individual seasons, but also served wider arcs that developed over the course of the series. Unfortunately, the answer is not scrapping serialization. If you're someone who doesn't like much of anything coming off the Trek production line, the problem is the custodians of the franchise.
That's because DSC seasons 3 & 4 were the only seasons of the highly serialized shows (i.e. DSC and Picard) to have the same showrunner. DSC's season 1 showrunners were fired early in season 2, and Alex Kurtzman stepped in to run the rest of season 2 until Michelle Paradise took over from season 3 onward. And PIC's Michael Chabon didn't return after season 1; Terry Matalas was nominally showrunner of season 2, but Akiva Goldsman was effectively the one in charge of its storyline, so season 3 will be the first one really run by Matalas. So the problem isn't serialization, the problem is the showrunner changes. The other shows like Lower Decks and SNW have had/will have consistent showrunners throughout, and they've managed to tell more unified narratives. Assuming Prodigy keeps its showrunner, the same will probably be true there.

Face wash, your best friend, and support during an unrelenting summer.
The summer sun can be incredibly detrimental to your skin. The hot sun increases sebum production, leading to allergic reactions, age spots, and oily skin. Also, moisture content, warm air, and pollution add to the impact. Summer can pose many skin issues that impact your beauty, ranging from skin problems to breakouts and tanning. A good skincare routine is vital to escape the heat and its impacts. It is also essential to avoid certain lifestyle choices that can harm your skin's health and reduce its radiance.
Caring For Your Skin During The Summers
Summertime means it's time to pamper your skin and make it glow.
Sure, foundation, powder, highlighters, or lipstick can give you instant glam, but do they really compare to the glow from within? Simple cleansing and moisturising won't suffice to get that natural glow. This is why we recommend making Vitamin C face wash for whitening skin the star of your skincare routine. A dewy, radiant complexion is on everyone's list during the warmer weather days. Let's make that happen!
But first—
What is Vitamin C, and why is it important?
Vitamin C is a water-soluble nutrient and one of many antioxidants. It promotes the growth and repair of tissues and prevents free radical damage. And, given that the human body does not produce vitamin C, it is critical to include plenty of vitamin C via topical application or daily diet.
Finding the Right Vitamin C Face Wash
Face washes can only help you if they are compatible with your skin; otherwise, they would just worsen the condition. The best part of a Vitamin C face wash with natural ingredients is that it is suitable for all skin types. Anyone can use it and enjoy healthy glowing skin.
While looking for the best Vitamin C face wash, look for the following qualities:
- All-natural ingredients
- Paraben-free
- Sulphate-free
Lotus Herbals WhiteGlow Vitamin-C Radiance Face Wash is a perfect choice that meets all these parameters. It is packed with Vitamin C for reducing hyperpigmentation, dark spots, acne and cleansing the pores. The Kakadu Plum and Yuzu Lemon extracts help remove dead skin cells, unveiling a bright and luminous skin tone.
How Does Vitamin C Benefit Our Skin?
Beauty and skincare products with Vitamin C ingredients help maintain smooth, radiant, and healthy skin. Eating healthy, vitamin-loaded food can also help you. But if you want to see effects on your skin faster, using a face wash or applying a serum is better. So if your goal is to get clear and radiant skin in summer, go ahead and add Vitamin C products to your skincare routine!
'How does a Vitamin C face wash help?' You may ask. Here are some ways-
#1: Gives Clear Skin
Rising temperatures, harsh sun rays and sweat take a toll on the skin. It's essential to clear off the dirt, grime and excess oil accumulated in the facial pores. Vitamin C face wash deeply cleanses to give clear and glowing skin.
#2: Anti-Pollution
As pollution engulfs the world, it's critical to safeguard our skin from oxidative stress caused by toxins and free radicals. Oxidative stress triggers sensitivity, leading to many problems like pigmentation, acne, and a dull complexion. Vitamin C, as an antioxidant, guards the skin against free radical damage. It creates an external barrier that prevents our skin from absorbing harmful air.
#3: Reduces Hyperpigmentation and Acne
The antioxidant properties of Vitamin C help eliminate the acne-causing bacteria while also reducing inflammation. It also inhibits the overproduction of melanin, thus reducing hyperpigmentation and skin discolouration.
#4: Lightens and Brightens the Skin
UV radiation and pollutants damage the skin, making it seem dull, weary, and lifeless. As discussed, a good Vitamin C face wash for skin whitening reduces suntan, hyperpigmentation, acne and hydrates the skin, thus giving a brighter and lighter skin tone.
Along with facewash, the Lotus Herbals WhiteGlow Vitamin-C + Gold Radiance Serum is one good product that will keep your skin hydrated thoroughly. It will promote even skin tone and help restore your skin's lipid barrier.
Beauty products that are rich in antioxidants are very popular. Antioxidants can help neutralise free radicals and protect your skin from damage. Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid can help defend against the damage that UV light causes. But that doesn't mean Vitamin C products can completely be used as sunscreen. Vitamin C reduces the damage from the sun's rays. It is more helpful in skin brightening, smoothing wrinkles, boosting collagen, which can heal wounds more quickly. To make the most of these benefits, it is best to apply the serum in the morning. You can start your day with your skin protected from the sun and worry less about getting dark spots.
There is so much that Vitamin C can do to help our skin— enjoy your summer, and don't forget to glow with a dose of Vitamin C daily!

Is Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer living on borrowed time at Manchester United?
Red Devils boss set to face daunting run of fixtures in November
Only days ago, news of the Manchester United hierarchy backing manager Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer to remain as manager of the club for the foreseeable future broke, giving the Norwegian manager a sense of security at the club.
What Solskjaer needs to know, however, is that when club executives begin to defend a manager in public, such a manager's days in charge of the club may be numbered.
For example, Chelsea fired Frank Lampard mere weeks after club president Bruce Buck publicly backed the Englishman to continue as manager.
The Norway-born Manchester United manager Solskjaer has not exactly impressed in his time as manager of the club for whom he scored loads of goals, including a remarkable added-time winner in the 1999 UEFA Champions League final against Bayern Munich.
After being appointed on an interim basis in 2019, Solskjaer managed to win ten and draw just two of his opening 12 matches in charge of the club, a run that saw him earn a permanent appointment at the end of the season.
Since then, however, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has failed to win a single trophy for the Red Devils despite receiving a significantly higher level of investment into his squad than many of his predecessors. Till date, the last trophy won by the club came in the 2016/17 season when Jose Mourinho led them to the UEFA Europa League, a part of his infamous treble in that season.
Solskjaer finds himself under increased pressure as a result of the amount of investment put into his squad over the summer, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho all brought in for huge amounts of money.
Despite the investment into his squad, Solskjaer's side have already lost to Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League, Aston Villa in the league and West Ham United in the Carabao Cup. The Red Devils laboured to a 1-1 draw against Everton in their last match before the international break.
Following the groin injury picked up by Varane in the first half of France's UEFA Nations League final win over Spain, Solskjaer is now left with only injury-prone Eric Bailly and Victor Lindelof as his options in central defense after he lost captain Harry Maguire to injury against Aston Villa.
Manchester United face a daunting run of fixtures starting on October 16th against Leicester City, before facing Atalanta, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Atalanta, Manchester City, Watford, Villarreal, Chelsea and Arsenal in their next ten matches till the end of November.
Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer has no time to waste and must quickly prove his mettle as a top-level manager if he is to remain in a job for much longer. The Norwegian must lead the Red Devils to a first title since 2017 else the club may be forced to look at alternatives.

That Moment in Time
Teenage memories of Daytona Beach and Dad's Bonneville convertible
Writer Phil Perkins shares teenage memories of a family trip when he was 16 – a nostalgic tale that speaks to memories in us all.
In the summer of my 16th year, things just clicked. I had finally worked off the baby fat that had plagued me on and off for years. And although I'd never been what you would call a shy kid, sometimes I got a little tongue-tied when addressing the young ladies. Even that malady seemed to melt away with the weight.
As luck would have it, that's the year my parents decided it was time for a two-week vacation in sunny Daytona Beach. We had been there before but never for an extended period. This time my dad insisted he wanted to size Florida up as a potential location to start a business. I can't recall exactly what that business might have been. On one day he would talk about convenience stores and on the next a construction company.
When we arrived at the motel (and yes, it was still a motel in those days) the first task at hand was to see if there were any teenagers around. I was absolutely astounded to find that there were kids everywhere. More importantly, there were girls. Lots of girls. It didn't take long to stake out a lounge by the pool and begin introducing myself to the other kids. Truth be told, my little brother was a "tagalong" at that point. Being four years younger, he could only marvel at the life of a teenager who had his sights set on a little interaction with the opposite sex. Nonetheless, there he was.
Never one to exclude my kid brother, I decided to make the best of it. We concocted a plan that seemed made for the times. Rather than being two kids from Ohio, we became two kids from Liverpool, England. Didn't really know the Beatles, we admitted, but had crossed paths with them. It served us well as the teenagers at the motel flocked around to hear totally fabricated tales of life "across the pond."
The two-week period was more than idyllic. There were beach parties, pool parties, dates, helloes and goodbyes as kids came and went. But we kept the accents up for most of the trip. As the older brother and one who could drive, I was able to borrow my dad's Bonneville convertible just twice to spirit one of the young ladies away to view the world from the little tower in downtown Daytona. I think it was the Terragona Tower, but I can't be certain. The young lady in question thought it was true love. I thought it was a nice evening and great view of Daytona. We lost touch quickly after that.
Just to be clear, it was a time before kids would sneak a drink at a party. At least for me it was. Of course, the two brothers from NYC that we met might have put a little pep in their pop … (for you true Southerners, that equates to putting hooch in your soda).
It was a time of transition for me … and perhaps my little brother. We met kids from all over the East Coast and beyond. We shared stories and dreams of things to come.
For anyone who has read my book The Legend of Corky Sandoval … or even seen it … that's me on the cover. I'm second from the left. That summer. That beach. That moment in time.

Wolverhampton seek their third win in four matches when they visit Fulham for a 2022-23 English Premier League showdown on Friday. Wolves (6-5-12) posted back-to-back victories for the first time this season before suffering a 1-0 loss against Bournemouth last weekend. Fulham (11-5-8) are riding a three-game unbeaten streak as they followed a draw against Chelsea with triumphs over Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion. The teams met in Wolverhampton earlier this season and played to a 0-0 draw.
Kickoff at Craven Cottage is set for 3 p.m. ET. The Cottagers are the +145 favorites (risk $100 to win $145) in the latest Fulham vs. Wolves odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while Wolves are +200 underdogs. A 90-minute draw is priced at +215 and the over/under for total goals scored is 2.5.

Featured Game | Fulham vs. Wolverhampton
Why you should back Fulham
The Cottagers are facing the lowest-scoring team in the Premier League in Wolves, who have recorded only 17 goals in 23 games. There's a strong chance that total will not increase as Fulham has posted three straight clean sheets and allowed a total of four goals over their last nine contests. Wolves were unable to convert at home in the first meeting of the season between the clubs, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
Fulham likely will be without Aleksandar Mitrovic, who is fifth in the league with 11 goals, as the 28-year-old Serbian forward is doubtful with a hamstring injury. That means the Cottagers will be relying more on midfielder Manor Solomon, who has scored in the 88th minute of each of his last two outings. The 23-year-old's goal against Brighton & Hove Albion last Saturday was the only one of the match, moving Fulham three points ahead of the Seagulls in the standings.
Why you should back Wolverhampton
Offense has not been Wolves' strong suit this season, so the team will need to clamp down defensively. The Wanderers have been solid in that regard of late, allowing more than one goal just once in their last eight Premier League contests. The club had a bit of an offensive spurt prior to its loss to Bournemouth, registering a total of five goals over the previous two matches.
Wolves received production from some unlikely sources in those games as defender Craig Dawson and midfielder Joao Gomes both scored for the first time this season. Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves also scored in that span to pull even with Daniel Podence for the team lead in goals with five. The 25-year-old Neves, who had four goals in 33 contests last season, is one away from matching the career high he set when Wolves won the EFL Championship in 2017-18.

Online slot is one of the most popular casino games in the world. It's easy to play and offers players the chance to win big prizes. However, there are some things you need to know before playing an online slot game. These tips can help you improve your winning strategy and avoid making costly mistakes. Remember to always gamble responsibly and only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
While many people enjoy playing online slot, not everyone understands how they work under the hood. In this article, we will take a look at the basic principles behind these games and dispel some common myths about them.
Most online slots use a random number generator (RNG) to determine their results. The RNG generates a random sequence of numbers every millisecond, which in turn determines whether a particular spin produces a win or a loss. This process is automated, so the player doesn't even need to press the 'spin' button to see their result. The RNG's random sequence of numbers also means that each spin is independent of the previous ones.
A good online slot site should offer a variety of payment methods for players to choose from. This includes major credit and debit cards like Visa and MasterCard, as well as e-wallets like PayPal. Some sites also accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Players should choose a payment method that suits their preferences and meets their needs, taking into account transaction fees, processing times, and availability in their region.
Another important aspect of a good online slot site is a robust customer support team. This team should be able to answer questions and resolve issues quickly. They should also be available around the clock, as players may need assistance at any time.
Some online slots feature bonus rounds that can significantly increase a player's chances of winning. These bonus features can include wild symbols, stacked wilds, free spins, and more. Some of these bonus features can even be triggered in the main game, meaning that you'll have the opportunity to win even before you hit the jackpot!
The average payout percentage for online slots is a good indicator of how much you can expect to win. However, keep in mind that there are no guarantees that you will win any particular amount. If you want to increase your odds of winning, try out a game with a higher RTP.
Branded slots are a type of online slot that is based on a famous movie, TV show, or video game. They have graphics and animations that are similar to the original media, and they can be a lot of fun to play. These slots often have an iconic character or theme that appeals to fans of the original media.
The most common way to win an online slot is by lining up three or more matching symbols on the reels. This can be done in a single line, in a row, or across multiple rows. There are also progressive slots, which have a jackpot that continues to grow until it is won.

Anonymous, 06 Oct 2015and how about z1 and z ultra?????????? shame on sonyNot a shame... Most probably, thoose phones can't handle the software.
and how about z1 and z ultra?????????? shame on sony
yay, my Z2 is going to get an update.
what about Z1
Dear editor:
I prefer that my xperia z1 does not get updated to 6.0 than to get an update similar to the 5.0 one. 5.1.1 is again great... I would not risk update to 6.0 if I knew that there will be no support after that.
Wait for Cyanogenmod... they will surely release update for all the sony devices...
I was sweating about knowing if M4 was on this list... ufff, it was a insta-sale!
what about mine z3 dual ??? :(
Sony users complaining about their phones not getting 6.0!!!Hey Samsung is not going to update the s4..note 3...and even the j series
Give sony a break, those whose devices that are already over 2 years old won't be updated anymore...
Looks like some people here do not understand the meaning of '18-month update support'.
Hahaha, Z1 Compact and Z3 Compact have basically the same specs, yet Z1C won't recieve Android 6? There isn't a single Android device which gets updates for longer than 2 years and that is just crazy.
no first gen Z series :(
Please dont forget about z ultra
My friend is using xperia ZR and kitkat and lollipop both updates were horrible at least according to me. He bought it in last august and due to some problems company replaced his device in last november. And from this september his Xperia ZR has headphone jack problem. No headphones are working in his mobile. And soon in 2 days whenever he call to anyone he is not able to heard opposite person voice. So he again goes to Sony service centre and they said sorry we don't repair xperia Z series. If your device is in warranty we would have been replace it bt now sorry. I was SONY fan and I only suggest him to buy Xperia ZR. Bt now wont tell anyone to buy Sony. Not expected from Sony brand
Please give marshmallow update for xperia m2 plz
Where is W810! Sony you suck!

Petition to let Joe Rogan moderate Trump vs Biden presidential debate close to its goal of 300,000 signatures
Joe Rogan, one of the most popular podcasters in the world, is gaining vast support to host a US presidential debate, with a petition gathering the signatures of more than 250,000 subscribers.
The petition was started by Ashton Stowell on change.org a whole year ago, according to the website, but has gained a lot of traction in recent weeks, reaching almost 300,000 signatories.
Trying to explain to the US Commission on Presidential Debates why Rogan "would be great" moderating a discussion between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, the author claims Rogan "revolutionized the way political interview and discussion work," by popularizing a format of a long-form, open conversation.
Also on rt.com Spotify employees flexing muscles to CENSOR Joe Rogan are getting their revenge, even if it means killing their cash cowStowell cites Rogan's journalistic experience, having hosted politicians and other popular figures "from various walks of life."
The petitioner also says that voters have become "disenfranchised" by "mainstream" pundits who, unlike Rogan, "are viewed as having ulterior motives or ties to a certain party."
Stowell's petition received a lot of attention after Rogan himself said on another podcast that he "would want" to moderate a presidential debate.
Joe Rogan Talks About Having Trump & Biden On The Podcast---#JRE#JoeRogan#Debate#Trump#Biden#Election2020pic.twitter.com/QfLQkuMwdh
— Joe Rogan Experience Clips (@JRE_Podcast) September 14, 2020
The idea gained infinitely more traction after the US president himself tweeted last Monday that he would agree to participate.
I do! https://t.co/H9Eghnqpuy
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 14, 2020
Biden's campaign has been silent on the issue, but its approval would probably be the last necessary step to make the event a reality.
Rogan has long been a controversial figure, especially in liberal circles. He has been accused of racism, homophobia and transphobia for various statements and jokes he's made over the years. The scrutiny seems to have only intensified after he moved his show to the Spotify platform as part of an exclusive deal reportedly worth over $100 million.

Expert Review: Nordica Enforcer 94 Skis · 2022
Published on 09/24/2022 · 5 min readThis review is my honest opinion of the skis, which I purchased with my own money in December of 2021.Photos courtesy of Andrew Keehn
About this review: This review is my honest opinion of the skis, which I purchased with my own money in December of 2021.
My take
The 2022 Nordica Enforcer 94 is a true all-mountain bruiser for all ski levels. Strong, stiff, and damp, this ski can be blast through any condition anywhere, anytime.
About the skis I own
- Model: 2022 Nordica Enforcer 94
- Size: 179cm
About me
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 170lbs
- Experience: 25+ years of skiing
Test conditions
- When I bought these: December of 2021
- Days tested: 20+
- Mount position: +1cm from recommended
- Boots: Rossignol AllSpeed Elite 130 2021
- Boot Size: 26.5
- Bindings: Tyrolia Attack 14
- Where I've used it: Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
- Terrain: Everywhere inbounds at the resort and some side country missions as well. Moguls, glades, chutes, groomers, powder
How they perform
What I was looking for
While demoing the Enforcer 94, I was looking for a solid all-mountain ski that can carve at high speeds and feel comfortable blasting through bumps, sliding through trees, and straight lining through packed powder chop.
Why I chose this gear
I work for a ski shop at the base of JHMR and was able to demo these whenever I pleased; it was my absolute favorite hardpack skis in our fleet. It had incredible versatility wherever I was skiing no matter how variable the conditions. My other favorite is the Head Kore 93. This is a lighter weight option but certainly not as damp as the Enforcer.
What I love about them
- Speed: This ski is very comfortable at high speeds and can boost nearly any type of skier's confidence. The two sheets of metal and carbon mix keep this ski damp and chatterless—even when pushing 40+ mph.
- Edge hold: This ski has great torsional stability (side to side), and the edge won't flutter away from me on choppy snow. With a well-tuned edge, this ski can hold an edge like a race ski.
- Turns: The predictable rocker profile of this ski allows for easy edge release and engagement, making turns feel natural yet powerful. This allows for a high level of trust and confidence in the ski when needing to make awkward transitions or last-second turns.
- Groomers: An advanced skier who knows how to lean a ski over on edge will be blown away by the race-like performance of this ski on a nice groomer. This ski possesses unbelievable edge hold and stability at even the highest speeds.
- Trees: This ski does a great job in almost all types of glades out West where one can be playful and fast. The damp feel makes rough corners and chattery run outs feel like butter.
- Moguls: Similar to its glade performance, the Enforcer can support even the fastest mogul skiers out there. The rocker on this ski prevents the edge from getting held up in bumps while the dampness feels as if I have literal suspension attached to my legs upon each mogul impact. Though the heavier weight of this ski could pose a challenge for a less advanced mogul skier trying to make quick transitions.
- Park/switch riding: The playful attitude of this ski makes it feel quite comfortable popping off lips and boosting kickers in the park. The energy in the tip and tail contribute to this and allow me to pop off the ground with ease when loading the tails with energy. If mounted forward, there is enough tail rise/rocker to ride switch.
- Backcountry: Although intended as a resort, all-mountain ski, there is certainly enough powder performance to support people chasing light storms in the backcountry. The spring corn missions would be a great option for this ski, especially for the aggressive skier.
- Durability: The Enforcer was one of the most used skis in our demo fleet and had minimal amount of damage compared with most other brands. The skis generally saw anywhere from 20–100 days of use.
- Stability: The two sheets of metal and carbon mix of the core keep this ski damp and chatterless even when pushing 40+ mph. This ski feels incredibly stable even in really demanding aggressive terrain when the conditions are brutal.
Issues I've encountered
- Powder: At 94mm underfoot, this ski is certainly not intended to be a powder ski. It does possess ample tip and tail rocker and can float just fine in anything boot deep or less.
- Weight: This ski is certainly not lightweight by any means and could pose a challenge for more beginner/intermediate skiers.
Favorite moment with this gear
Coming down a fresh groomer at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort one clear morning going faster than I ever have on skis before and feeling total control and confidence.
Value for the money vs. other options
The Nordica Enforcer 94 comes in at a very reasonable price point compared with some higher-end brands such as Kästle or DPS. It falls within that $700–900 range, as most retail brands with solid all mountain skis do, such as the Head Kore, Blizzard Rustler, and Völkl Mantra.
Final verdict
The Nordica Enforcer 94 is a perfect one-ski quiver for the intermediate to the expert skier that wants to explore the entire mountain at nearly any resort.

The benefits of double-glazed windows cannot be overstated. The insulation properties of double-glazed windows make them an ideal choice for homes with low energy bills. This type of window install near me installation also provides soundproofing and security advantages. These tips will help you get maximum benefit from this kind of window installation.

You might be wondering how to cut down on your energy bill if you are paying too much. Double glazing could be a viable solution even though you've likely checked your vents for your air conditioner and shut off lights when they are not in use. Double glazing is the process of installing two glass panes, with a gas spacer in between. This makes the entire window a well-insulated unit that keeps your home at a consistent temperature throughout the day.
When you're considering the cost of installing new windows, you should check with your local planning office to inquire about any required permits.
