This Week On Runicfire: Feb 25 – Mar 4

We kick off this week with a roundup of interesting links on Monday, regarding such diverse topics as the film industry, the use of the Wii in medecine, and the hardships Moroccan women face in the wake of a changing political economic climate.

Wednesday's post will touch on the art of superheroines, and how we can improve it.

And on Friday I shall continue blogging on research for my novel, via a short essay about calendars and timekeeping in the Renaissance.

Be well, and please stay tuned!

Monday Links: Television Outshines Film, the Wii vs. Cancer, and the Rise of Rape in Morocco

I’d like to open this week at Runicfire with a collection of interesting links for your perusal.

The Economist discusses how the Internet and economics is leading to a shrinking film industry and thriving television business.

The Wii proves useful in combating fatigue in cancer patients through providing a source of low-intensity exercise.

And Allison McManus interviews Nadir Bouhmouch about her forthcoming film 475, and the tacit acceptance of men’s rape of women in Morocco and other countries affected by the Arab Spring.

I hope these articles prove enlightening.
