Powerman (comics)

Powerman is a British comic book series written by Don Avenall (aka Donne Avenell) and Norman Worker, and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and Brian Bolland that was initially distributed in Nigeria in the early 1970s. The series starred a superhero named Powerman. When the comics were re-published in the United Kingdom the character's name became Powerbolt.

Gibbons said that an executive from a Nigerian advertising agency approached Bardon Press Features to discuss the idea of making a series with a black superhero; the man and his wife saw that in Nigeria, the comics available were imported and had White protagonists. Gibbons designed the character and the series logo and worked chores with Bolland. Gibbons said that he published one 14-page issue per month, which was published every two weeks (fourteen days and nights). Gibbons said that he remembered asking why Africans did not work on the strips and hearing that the African artists would likely emerge once comics become popular in Africa. Gibbons also recalls difficulty adjusting to writing for a Nigerian culture; for instance, the management told him that a fat stomach indicated "success and power" instead of "gluttony or greed" and that having Powerman "always get off with the girls" was not considered sexist. Each panel had a number to indicate the flow of the story.

PowerMAN (Software)

PowerMAN is a computer software program that allows PC power management to be centrally monitored and managed. The software extends the basic features present in most operating systems to permit an enterprise-wide power management strategy to be implemented and enforced.

The product is used by private and public sector organisations in the UK, Europe and US. It includes a web-based, multi-location, reporting feature that can collate data from deployments in multiple countries.

The product is particularly present in the academic market where it was used by leading institutions for the management of both staff and student computers.

The software is produced by Data Synergy which is based in Sheffield, UK.Data Synergy is a member of the Climate Savers Computing Initiative.

Features

PowerMAN allows different power management profiles to be configured for different users, computers and times using native Windows Active Directory tools. This straight forward approach is in contrast to many competing solutions that require new consoles or administration tools to be learnt. The reporting features collect information about each computer and allows a variety of historic and live reports to be generated. The manufacturers claim that the combination of flexible management and reporting enhance the effectiveness of the solution.

ASG (band)

ASG is an American rock band signed to Relapse Records, originating from Wilmington, North Carolina. It is a four-piece band, with Jason Shi on vocals and guitar, Andy Ellis on bass, Scott Key on drums and Jonah Citty on guitar. The band has acquired an underground following, as a number of its songs have been featured in skateboarding, surfing, and snowboarding videos.

Band

ASG started with the name All Systems Go in 2001, but shortened to the acronym ASG after a brief copyright issue with another band of the same name. Through the years the band has claimed in jest that 'ASG' has several alternate meanings, including "amplification of self gratification", "all systems gone", "anarchist school for girls" among others. ASG recorded and self released their debut album/demo in 2002 (later released by Volcom in 2005). Soon after in 2003 they signed with Volcom Entertainment In 2003, they released their first full length with Volcom Entertainment, "The Amplification of Self-Gratification", and immediately began a tour to promote it, playing portions of the 2003 and 2004 Vans Warped Tour. After the '04 Vans Warped Tour, ASG went to L.A. to record their 2nd Volcom release, Feeling Good is Good Enough, produced by Matt Hyde. Shortly after completing Feeling Good is Good Enough, second guitarist, Jonah Citty (formerly of the band Ergot), was added to help recreate the album’s sounds live. John Staton of Star-News called the album one of the ten best of 2005. In 2008 ASG released their fourth album, Win Us Over, which was again produced by Matt Hyde and features vocal guest, Blag Dahlia, on the track "Palm Springs". In June 2009, ASG released a split E.P. with Black Tusk entitled, "Low Country", that was recorded live at the Jam Room in Columbia, SC and was produced by Phillip Cope of Kylesa. The artwork for "Low Country" was done by John Dyer Baizley from Baroness (band).
