An Open Letter to Naughty Dog
Posted on October 3, 2018 September 29, 2018 by Miranda - uprootandrun
100% spoilers warning: The Last of Us (2013)
Dear Naughty Dog,
When I was 14 I was told that girls were bad at video games. Not NES and Sega games, not the simple two or three button setups, but the advanced layouts of the PlayStation and Xbox controllers. There were too many buttons, they explained, the controls were too complicated and girls just weren't smart enough to master that level of hand-eye coordination. This was explained to me by 14 year old boys, and unfortunately I hadn't yet learned that they were idiots and not to be trusted.
I've loved video games for as long as I can remember, yet I've never been particularly good at them. I've pushed through the challenges for the games that I love and have grown with from generation to generation, but I've hardly strayed from my circle of comfort and safety. Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing – these are my bread and butter. A few times I have dipped a toe and tried something new; Silent Hill here, Metal Gear Solid there, and Uncharted as well, but it always went poorly.
This is pretty but I can hardly tell where the ledge goes – source
Each "complex" game that I tried felt completely out of my league. The graphics and color palettes were too realistic so I was always overlooking an item that I needed – it simply blended into the background. Many of the games required shooting, and I don't have great aim (in life, or in video games). Plus, I am startled and scared easily, so if an enemy came into view most likely I would end up panicking and spraying bullets everywhere only to end up dead with an empty gun. (Case in point – playing CS:S at a LAN party when I was 19. I was hiding in wait, and when the guy ran into the room I emptied my clip in his general direction, didn't hit him with a single bullet, then he knifed me to death and ran off) The menu systems were deep and sophisticated, and with every button on the controller being put to use I simply couldn't remember which one to push. The games moved at a breakneck speed with a lot of action and no time to stop and think. It just didn't feel like they were for me.
The truth is, though, that I was afraid of proving them right. I didn't want to give the 14 year old boys from my past the satisfaction of having proof that girls weren't smart enough to play the "advanced games," and it's disappointing that I hung onto that for so long. With each failed attempt to play a new type of game I felt their presence pressing in around me, sneering and laughing at my timid movements and repeated deaths. Even through years of befriending women who spent their evenings waist deep in Gears of War, Halo, Dragon Age, and more (clearly proving that women were just as capable as men at playing these games) I remained hesitant to move forward and possibly bring shame to my gender – or some similar and incredibly idiotic thought.
Not gonna lie, this makes me feel completely overwhelmed – source
But it wasn't just that. It has long been obvious to me that the best story lines live within the Mature rated titles. (There are exceptions, of course, but I'm not about to write a caveat for every single example.) I wanted to play them, but every time I tried was an abysmal failure. And it wasn't just that the enemies were too strong, or that it was never obvious what I needed to do next. It was the realistic and gritty graphics, the violence being turned up to eleven; these are conspicuously absent from the games that I usually play.
"Why does 'Mature' have to equal 'violent' for the designers?!" I would shout angrily, to no one in particular. Slowly my barrier to entry shifted from "these games are too hard to control and I'm embarrassed" to "these games are too violent and I'm uncomfortable." Over time I begrudgingly accepted that I was boxed out. End of story.
Enter: The Last of Us.
This game disrupted everyone's life when it came out. Everyone was talking about it, cosplay of Ellie exploded, and it seemed like every person I knew was playing it. People were impressed, moved, and engaged by the story. Heated discussions repeatedly broke out among my friends over whether or not Joel did the right thing. I had seen bits of the game play, including the ending, and jumped into the fray insisting that what Joel did was wrong.
But I wasn't going to play this game, are you kidding me? Look at how violent! Look at those realistic graphics! Joel gets hardly any bullets and many of the enemies literally rip him in half if he gets too close to them. And I have to sneak everywhere because of exploded-faced Clickers? No way. No. Way.
I did not like this room – source
As hype has been ramping up for The Last of Us II the discussions have returned. Whispers of just how amazing the first game was resurfaced, talk of Joel's decisions came around again, and people I know have been considering starting a new file. And somehow, someway, I learned that the game had an Easy Mode. This felt like my chance. People could not stop talking about it, and after five years I decided that I wanted in. The allure of the story was too great, the reverence for the game too strong. It had broken through all of my walls, unfurling a carpet and inviting me in.
"I want to play The Last of Us," I said to Morgan abruptly, just a few weeks ago. He was surprised but extremely pleased. "You have to stay with me while I play, though!" I said, "I need you because I'll get scared!" He agreed to the terms, he himself interested in seeing the story play out again, and was quite excited and encouraging of the adventure that awaited me.
What I discovered in the first menu had my heart leaping with joy and hope; not only did The Last of Us have an Easy Mode, but there were additional options to turn on that made the game even more accessible. Aim assist? Yes please!
This is a capture from my play through. Enjoy!
For the first time I felt like a Mature game was catering to the needs of a novice like myself. I was given time to familiarize myself with the controls, I could pause at any moment to collect my thoughts, make a decision, and calm my panicked heartbeat. The game saved constantly, so I wasn't forced to replay the same part over and over and over from the very beginning of every combat scenario when I invariably died. Ammo and supplies were plentiful, in-game prompts directed me on where to go if I lingered in an area for too long (lost and confused, for sure), and the enemies were mercifully stupid.
The last time I was this excited to rush home and pick up a video game was when Breath of the Wild came out in March 2017. I couldn't wait to jump into Joel and Ellie's world, fighting for survival, exploring the vast post-apocalyptic future of the US, and watching their relationship transform and develop through each horrifying encounter. I nearly broke down at the start of the game when Sarah died – kudos to you for writing and performing something so heart wrenching – and I was choked up when Joel reunited with Tommy.
The Last of Us™ Remastered_20180908214736
I was super proud of getting past this first moment without Tess's help
The biggest twist in the game, though, the most visceral response that I had, was when Ellie encountered the cannibals. Perhaps it should have occurred to me that they'd exist in the universe, but I was blind-sided by the reveal. Who was responsible for writing David? Because I tell you, I couldn't decide if he wanted Ellie as a daughter, a lover, or a meal and I. was. disturbed. I still am. Hats off to Nolan North for a truly depraved performance – the entire restaurant set piece had me disgusted and on edge.
I appreciate that you, Naughty Dog, used The Last of Us as an opportunity to explore the complexities of the father/daughter relationship. I have a challenging and distant relationship with my own dad, and I don't often encounter media or entertainment that navigates it in a realistic way. When Joel says to Ellie, "You're not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain't your dad," my heart absolutely crumbled into pieces, and I shouted angrily at the TV.
"Deal with your traumas, Joel!" I shrieked, feeling hopeless and sad for Ellie. She found someone who she trusted, who she thought cared about her, and who finally made her feel safe in a world of chaos and uncertainty. How could he leave her? Well, fortunately he did not, and I was relieved by their non-verbal agreement to forget that the conversation ever happened and to just keep pushing forward together. I'm not a fan of stubborn, stoic men, and so I greatly enjoyed Joel's arc of gradually opening up to Ellie and allowing a parental relationship to form at last. I wanted them both to heal.
I can't recall a time when I found myself so deeply and emotionally invested in a game's story line. The Last of Us was like a book, meaty and raw, rife with three dimensional characters, relatable scenarios, and themes of love, loss, and growth that barreled straight into my heart. I'd like to play it again, but on the Normal Difficulty setting. I feel ready. I feel ready not only for this game, but for others like it. This has given me the boost that I needed, the surge of competence and joy necessary to break through the pitiful proverbial chains that bound me to the words of inane 14 year olds.
The game is full of emotional, thoughtful moments – source
So thank you. Thank you for creating an Easy Mode. Thank you for putting ammo and supplies everywhere so that I always felt prepared. Thank you for a male character I felt I could truly root for and care about. Thank you for Ellie being a realistic 14 year old girl, for creating a female protagonist that I love. Thank you for making Joel an absolute badass who can pummel the shit out of his foes, that way when I messed up shooting (which happened a lot) I could still take them down. Seriously, I loved the hand-to-hand combat, it was incredibly satisfying.
I cannot wait to play The Last of Us II.
With deep gratitude and affection,
x – happy beast
P.S. –
Upon completing the game on my own I decided that while Joel's decision was morally ambiguous, he did do the right thing :V

"Our Lives with Electric Things": Durham anthropologists publish a new collection of writing to extend the energy humanities.
Inspired by a Wenner-Gren funded workshop held at Durham in 2016, this new collection has been published in the Cultural Anthropology journal series 'Theorizing the Contemporary'. The full collection includes 51 contributions, whose authors reflect on our lives with electric things, using electric artefacts to generate novel ethnographic insights.
Editor Professor Simone Abram says, 'This collection is an inspiration for anthropologists and others to rethink how we live with electricity and reconsider the possibilities and limits of life with electric things'. With three co-editors from Edinburgh and Copenhagen, the collection covers electric fictions, backups, infrastructures, electric sustenance, electric air and more, making up 17 themes.
'We are excited to bring together anthropologists from around the world to think about such pressing issues and invite readers to enjoy the collection and the inspiration it offers' adds Prof Abram.

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, allergies affect up to 30 percent of adults and 40 percent of children. These numbers are only increasing worldwide. Not only are there more allergens in the atmosphere thanks to increased pollution and more intense pollen seasons, but people have become more sensitive to substances like smoke, dander and pollen that trigger histamine reactions.
Combating these allergies with modern medicine has proven to be incredibly expensive. Americans spent $17.5 billion on treatments and medications for nasal issues alone in 2010. Additionally, health problems related to allergies that year lead to 6 million lost days of work and school, as well as 16 million doctor visits.
Those that suffer from chronic or sporadic allergies often find that medications are not enough. Pronounced side effects like drowsiness, dizziness, increased heart rate, nose bleeds and more can often cause more problem than they solve.
For those looking for true, lasting relief, chiropractic care may be the answer.
The symptoms of allergies stem from histamine reactions in your body. These reactions are meant to fight off infection or dangerous substances, but those who suffer from allergies have immune systems that are hyperactive. Normal substances that should not trigger coughing fits or draining noses do.
Orthopedic doctors and chiropractic practitioners both think that the root issue may not lie in immunoresponse, but rather imbalances in the nervous system that cause a domino effect on the lymphatic systems.
Specifically, nerve compression as a result of subluxations along the eighth, ninth and tenth thoracic vertebrae can cause adrenal glands to behave abnormally. As a result, the body tends to react hyperactively to simple environmental triggers.
Research shows that targeted adjustments can restore proper nerve functioning, help the lymphatic system drain to improve immunoresponse and improve the condition of allergy sufferers.
By working closely with Dr. Ryan Mulcahy at Rhino Chiropractic, you can manage your condition and ensure continued wellness that allows you to enjoy things you used to like going outdoors or owning pets. See how we can become your Victor chiropractor and work with your allergies.

Randy woman caught having sex with man on grass after trying to break into cars

Queenstown Airport boss Glen Sowry sees traffic move from bust to boom
Queenstown Airport boss Glen Sowry started work in the depths of the last nationwide lockdown and his first days on the job were surreal.
The planes had disappeared.
"For my first three days at the airport it was like a scene out of a western movie with tumbleweed blowing down the street."
While flights from Wellington and Christchurch were restored relatively quickly, it was the re-opening of the Auckland border that was like "the flick of a switch" and domestic traffic has been restored to pre-pandemic levels or better.
The airport will welcome 46 flights on Christmas Eve and in the month from mid-December to mid-January 160,000 people will travel through Queenstown.
"From a domestic perspective that's stronger than it was pre-pandemic. In fact, July was our strongest ever domestic month."
Aucklanders account for about 70 per cent of domestic arrivals and, when they are permitted to fly, Kiwis are more than making up for the absence of international tourists who took up around 15 per cent to 20 per cent of domestic seats.
Passengers from Wellington and Christchurch provided a lifeline during the period that Auckland was locked down for 107 days but were not enough to sustain the commercial performance at the airport.
While this week's Government announcement of the delay in quarantine-free international travel was "incredibly frustrating" for the aviation sector, Sowry said there was no sign that the spread of Covid around the country and the threat of the Omicron variant were affecting bookings.
"They're still going strong. I think Queenstown is very mindful of the importance of the visitor economy and particularly being able to maintain links with Auckland, and so I think that's reflected in incredibly high vaccination rates down here."
It was great having domestic flying back so strongly.
"Let's hope that remains the case is incredibly important for tourism and aviation businesses to at least get a bit of oxygen in the system."
Coming home to aviation
Sowry was most recently chief executive of Metlifecare and prior to that head of Housing New Zealand (now Kāinga Ora). He also spent a decade at Air New Zealand in senior management roles, including three years as general manager operations leading a large team across New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.
He said the Queenstown Airport job was like "coming home" to aviation.
"I have really enjoyed the opportunity to come back and work in aviation, which is a sectorI have a real affinity with."
He's not the only former Air NZ executive making the switch from airlines to airports – Carrie Hurihanganui is moving next month to the top job at Auckland Airport, which has a 25 per cent stake in Queenstown Airport.
It was an "incredibly difficult" time for everyone in the aviation sector, said Sowry.Queenstown Airport in the year to June 30 suffered a 40 per cent fall in total revenue to $27.8 million and after-tax profit tumbled 91 per cent to $1.6m.
Sowry has bought a house in Queenstown – amid stiff competition from other Aucklanders relocating – and says the link between the two centres is getting stronger, reinforcing the need for air connectivity.
Pre-Covid, the domestic market made 70 per cent of aircraft movements and transtasman flights the remaining 30 per cent.
Australians wouldn't return until they could enter Queenstown without any MIQ or self-isolation.
Sowry is confident they will come back in big numbers with the town well placed as a short-haul flight away from the big Australian cities for holidaymakers who may be reluctant to take long-haul holidays as the pandemic stretches into its third year.
"All of the indications we've had are that Queenstown remains a very attractive and strong destination for them and they're all itching to get back here as soon as they're able."
The airport had strong commitments from the transtasman airlines, Air New Zealand, Virgin Australia and Qantas.
"With different variants swirling around the world, there will continue to be a level of caution around long-haul travel and I think destinations like Queenstown, which has got the highest vaccination rates in the country, has all of the same attractions and appeal that it always had, but is also a safe destination and is very well positioned to attract that Australian market."
The airport was also benefiting from Air New Zealand's deployment of international Airbus A321neo planes on its domestic route. The planes have 25 per cent more capacity and are quieter, critical at Queenstown where aircraft noise is a hot issue.
Sowry said the loss of European, North American and Asian visitors was hurting though with high-value aviation sightseeing businesses suffering.He shares concerns about the risk of international airlines pulling back or out of New Zealand if uncertainty over borders continues for too long.
Sowry said Queenstown Airport was nearing capacity just as Covid-19 hit.
"The terminal itself was under pressure, particularly the screening area which was simply not copingat peak times."
In the past 12 months, a construction programme had doubled the size of the security-screening area and it will open early next year.
"That will materially improve the ability to flow passengers much more smoothly through screening which has been a pain pointand we're also working with Air New Zealand to move access to the Koru Lounge through the air side, which was another thing that caused congestion."
Sowry said the airport was midway through a 10-year strategy reset and will be engaging and consulting with shareholders (the Queenstown Lakes District Council owns 75 per cent) and stakeholders next year.
"That's looking at the noise boundaries, what capacity we can be able to deliver in support within those noise boundaries, what investment we're going to need to make with terminal expansion and how we're going to configure the airfield more generally, particularly around the location of general aviation operators," he said.
Christchurch Airport has a long-term plan to develop a big international airport about 90km away at Tarras which would provide competition for Queenstown.
Sowry says "ultimately what happens an hour and 10 minutes away from here that will be a decision for the community and others to shape" but Queenstown's location gave it a geographical advantage and with landing technology was a reliable all-weather airport.

Recipient of the 2012 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Museums: History Alive!
Canada's History speaks to staff at the Canadian War Museum about their collaborative "human library."
Bringing history to life is at the heart of an innovative program hosted by the Canadian War Museum, in partnership with the Ottawa Public Library and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Human Library, a widespread concept around the world, was presented for the first time in our nation's capital in January 2012, with the objective of creating community connections between readers and "human books."
Indeed, over 60 people from the National Capital Region volunteered to become a borrowed "book" for a day and share their diverse pasts and knowledge related to the history of conflicts around the world. Each "conversation" with visitors lasted approximately 20 minutes.
Readers had the opportunity to meet Irena Szpak, trained as a messenger for the Polish resistance and who survived a work camp in Germany before emigrating to Canada; or Nelson Langevin, who signed up with the navy in the 1940s where he quickly learned the reality of war in Dieppe, Algeria and Sicily; or even Karen Bailey, whose life was forever changed when she was sent to Afghanistan after joining the Canadian Forces Artists Program in 2007.
The innovative quality of the Human Library allowed the "readers" to gain an even deeper understanding of our country's response to conflict, while creating lasting personal connections. The project truly made history come alive and was exemplary with respect to its inclusiveness, community impact and collaborative approach.
The jury is honoured to reward the Canadian War Museum with the 2012 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Museums: History Alive!

No Interviews Yet, But Still Applying!
I am 14 days into the 31 days of "Applying Yourself" Challenge. If you don't know what I am talking about, stop right now and go read my last blog, "Apply Yourself".
So far I have applied to 14 desirable positions in the marketing field. It has been confirmed that all 14 applications have been received. Most times when you apply to a job online, you receive a confirmation email from the HR department. Now-a-days it's all automated. I have not heard back from anyone yet. But I am optimistic and it is only Week 1. I understand that most companies post jobs for a couple of weeks and sometimes months before they start the reviewing process. So right I'm playing the waiting game for the jobs I have applied for and I will continue to apply myself to more jobs as the 31-day challenge continues.
My goal out of this is to get an interview. An Interview is the first step. If you get an interview, you are doing something right. Interviews are a big deal. If this 31-day challenge gets me one interview I will feel accomplished. If this 31-day challenge lands me a new job opportunity, I will feel like I'm on top of the world.
The other day, I was thinking of ways I can boost this 31-day challenge. Add it to, somehow! Not just apply for the jobs but seek out the job. I decided to upgrade my LinkedIn account to a premium membership. It's a free 30- day trial and $29 a month after the first 30 days. I wanted to test out the benefits of being able to InMail other LinkedIn members that I do not have direct connections with. Also, be able to have a larger scope to who's viewing my profile and get some insight on job postings from LinkedIn. Hopefully this will help guide me in the right professional direction for this challenge. So far I have looked up people from the companies I have applied to, introducing myself a letting them know I'm interested in joining the company.
Over the last couple of days, I have revised my resume and cover letter. Just re-wording some things and making everything look polished. This upcoming week, I plan to start following up on my submitted applications. This process will be interesting because everything is done online now. So, I have to do some research to find recruiters and HR contacts. But following up on an application with an e-mail of interest speaks volume to the leadership you can bring to the company.
One thing I also wanted to share with you is how I am keeping track of everything. I developed an Application Tracker in Excel. This is where I list the Company, Applied Position and Reference number, along with the date I applied. I also have a column for Associates contacted. This is where I list the individuals I have reached out to concerning the job. As well as a column for Application Outcomes, so I can keep track of when I hear back from each company. If you are currently taking this 31- day challenge with me or are thinking about doing so in the future, I would be happy to share a template with you. Just comment below or email passionlockedblog@gmail.com.
See you all next week with new updates!
Can't wait to hear your LinkedIn review!

«Книга песен» — альбом песен Ирины Богушевской, выпущенный в 1998 году.

История создания альбома
Это дебютный альбом Ирины Богушевской. Он был записан как саундтрек к моно-мюзиклу Ирины Богушевской «Зал ожиданий», который был создан на базе студенческого театра МГУ. В мюзикле песни иллюстрировали действия персонажей.

Композиции выполнены в стиле довоенного ретро.

В записи альбома приняли участие музыканты групп «Несчастный случай» и «Оркестр форс-мажорной музыки».

Для альбома было несколько вариантов названия. На названии «Книга песен» Богушевская остановилась за пять минут до того, как нужно было окончательно утвердить название.

Презентация альбома состоялась 27 апреля 1998 года в московском клубе «Мираж». В презентации альбома приняли участие Андрей Макаревич и группы «Несчастный Случай», «Квартал», «Манго-Манго».

Музыкальная критика признала альбом одним из лучших русских поп-альбомов.

В 1997 году на песню «Прощай, оружие!» был снят видеоклип.

Ирину Богушевскую приняли в Союз писателей России на основании текстов песен, которые были напечатаны на буклете, прилагавшемся к альбому.

В 2002 году было осуществлено второе издание альбома. В переиздании был изменён дизайн обложки и добавлено 4 бонус-трека: концертные версии песен «Шарманка-осень» и «Кафе "Экипаж"», а также песня «Ангел моей печали» и её инструментальная версия.

Музыканты, участвовавшие в записи

Mr Osterwalder, 50 years since 1968 is a big issue this year. And it's also a chapter in your life. What's it like to find your own youth presented in a museum?
You realise that something you were involved in is over. But you also reflect on what happened.
There are two sides. We were concerned about issues such as social justice, gender equality and opening up society. In this regard, our efforts paid off as tremendous progress has been made. The other side of it was that we wanted to completely revolutionise society with 19th century Marxist, socialist and Trotskyist theories. Fortunately for us, nothing come of this.What do you mean by "fortunately"?
Our ideas had no major repercussions in Switzerland. It was different in many Latin American countries where Marxist revolutions took place, some of which ended terribly. They cost lives, and ultimately also those of the Marxists. In this respect, we in Europe were the lucky ones in the 1968 movement.
Because nobody was held accountable for the dream of revolution?
It goes beyond that. People like me were even able to forge careers in the state education system, from teachers to professors.
In the same system that you wanted to topple as a Marxist.
Exactly. Our ideas were as fundamentalist as they were rudimentary, and perhaps even naive – council-based democracy and a planned economy. It could have ended badly. Very badly.
In an undemocratic, totalitarian and chaotic way.
You were only 21 years old in 1968. You then helped to found the Zurich section of the Revolutionary Marxist League (RML) which split away from the Communist Workers' Party.
Yes, but that wasn't until 1971. Something else existed before that in 1968 – a broad, extremely diverse movement of non-conformists, by which I mean people who were essentially disillusioned with the prevailing social order and who articulated their discontent outside of traditional political structures, which also meant outside of the "old left". The entire movement extended far beyond a particular social milieu. The non-conformists also included people who sought radical change in literature and theatre. Other people saw opening up the education system as being the most important issue. Others were completely apolitical.
How did you organise yourselves?
We met up at demonstrations, at pubs and in action groups which pursued particular goals, such as solidarity with Vietnam, the empowerment of the trade unions and the revitalisation of theatre. The political groupings were very loosely affiliated. In Thurgau, there was a group of students, school pupils and apprentices who would meet up for discussions, including with representatives of the "old left".
So, 1968 was more than just a student movement.
I was a student, but we weren't just campaigning for educational reform but also on behalf of apprentices or foreign workers in Switzerland. It's hard to imagine today but there was a waste disposal site back then on the outskirts of Frauenfeld next to which was a shanty town where the guest workers from Italy lived, separated from their families who were not allowed to come here with them. This was how Switzerland treated them. We wanted to do something about it.
The sense of being able to change the world seemed to unite the movement, overcoming all differences.
Yes, there was a sense of that. We'll start again from scratch and do a better job, especially morally. Ethics was a very important aspect of 1968. Small factions of the movement came from the SP or the Workers' Party. But a much larger part came from church circles. Greater solidarity with and justice for the Third World, guest workers and women – all of this was based on strong ethical convictions.
What role did the protest against the Vietnam War play?
This conflict raised many people's political awareness, as did the socialist revolution in Cuba, the fight to liberate French-occupied Algeria and also the dissident movements in the Eastern Block. These events showed us the emergent resistance against "imperialism" and the Eastern European regimes. And we saw ourselves as part of this resistance.
That is also the way the representatives of the prevailing order saw you. The authorities responded by repressing the protests.
Yes, this was during the political climate of the Cold War, secret files and espionage. But that's just one half of the story. The other half was the willingness to engage in debate with us and to discuss our concerns, even amongst the traditional elites.
There was also a great spirit of openness in some of the universities. University administrations and many professors wanted to debate with us. I later experienced the same thing myself as a teacher. I taught at a vocational college for the deaf in Zurich. Our principal was the president of a local SVP branch, but he still sat down with me once a week to discuss matters.
But weren't you once barred from the profession?
No, that's not true. I was not appointed to a senior teaching position at a grammar school in Winterthur and lost my teaching contract for political reasons, but I was able to teach at other state schools.
In 1979, you explained the "path to socialism in Switzerland" in a book. This talked about "overthrowing capitalism and breaking the capitalist class's power of control over the vast majority of the population".
That's how we worded it at the time. We wanted to get rid of bourgeois society and private ownership of the means of production and strove to create a society of equals, socially and not just under the law.
People on the left like yourself were accused of failing to critically come to terms with your past in an article published by "Weltwoche"to mark the 40th anniversary of "1968" ten years ago.
As I said, I'm pleased that the revolution came to nothing. But I'm also glad that many of our goals have been achieved. There is now greater gender equality, the situation of foreign workers in Switzerland has improved and everyone is covered by old-age pension provision.
Some of our ideas are still relevant today. Just think about the power of the global banking system which plunged the western world into crisis in 2008. Controlling this power democratically still represents an attractive proposition for society today.
You were a teacher and professor of education. What impact did 1968 have in schools?
The first thing is that the education system was made more accessible. We had 36 pupils in our class at the grammar school in Frauenfeld – only five of whom were girls. Today, there are more girls and children from the lower social strata in upper secondary education. Corporal punishment has also disappeared, but fortunately authority has not.
Would you consider yourself a liberal today?
Yes, I'd say so, a social liberal. Traditional liberalism was one of the enemies in 1968 but it is the bedrock of a democratic society. This can be seen in Russia today. Democracy becomes authoritarian without liberalism.
The 1968 generation grew up in the prosperous and growth-driven society of the post-war period. Then they declared war on this society and its values. Isn't that a paradox?
No, if anything it's logical. Those who struggle to survive do not spend most of their time pursuing alternative world views, as we did back then. And conversely, those who can enjoy a beer and a steak can still reflect on the fact that, say, the same level of prosperity does not exist in the Third World. Such a gulf can make people sensitive to issues of social justice.
From 1980 onwards, your RML was called the Socialist Workers' Party (SAP). It occasionally won seats on cantonal and communal authorities and also launched a federal initiative in favour of guaranteed vocational training, which was resoundingly rejected in 1986. In 1987, the SAP ceased to exist and many of its members joined the Greens or SP.
Yes, I was a member until the very end but didn't join any other parties afterwards because I was focusing more on my academic work. I still feel a sense of commitment to many of the issues we campaigned on.
Democratisation, especially in relation to economic affairs, gender equality and social security.
Fritz Osterwalder, born in 1947 in Frauenfeld, was studying history and German literature in Zurich in 1968. Today, he is mainly known for his research on the relationships between educational ideas, religion and the state. He made a name for himself with his critical look at the "expectations of salvation" that society places on schools and the "cult status" of educational reformers, such as Montessori, Steiner and Pestalozzi. In 2012, Osterwalder retired from his position as professor at the Institute of Educational Science at the University of Berne where he had worked since 2000. Before that he lectured in education in Karlsruhe and worked as a teacher and journalist in Zurich and Winterthur.
1968 – more than turmoil and scandal?
1968? Historians today, when they refer to 1968, actually mean the events – including in Switzerland – that were not restricted to a single year. There were the riots at the Rolling Stones concert at the Hallenstadion in Zurich in April 1967, the occupation of the teaching seminar in Locarno in March 1968, the battles on the streets of Zurich known as the "Globus riots" in June 1968, the large-scale women's demonstration on the Bundesplatz ("March on Berne") in March 1969 and Harald Szeemann's provocative exhibition "When Attitude Becomes Form" at the Kunsthalle Bern in March/April 1969. The 1968 movement revolted against traditional forms of authority and demanded self-determination, justice and solidarity. However, a wider development was also identifiable in the headline-grabbing protests – they were the climax of social upheaval that began in 1965 and went on for over a decade. This development was reflected in the rising number of divorces, university degrees and women in employment. Prosperity, youth culture and mass media also created a dynamic that increasingly conflicted with the conservative values which shaped the climate in Switzerland during the post-war era. A process of social modernisation was underway which broke fresh ground with the protests of 1968 and finally resulted in political reform but also a broad liberalisation of social norms. The number of accepted ways of life multiplied, from cohabitation to cultural consumption and hairstyles. Much of what we take for granted today had its roots in the 1968 movement.
As a Swiss of a similar generation to Professor Osterwalder but living in Britain I remember the events of that time well. In Cambridge in the late 1970s we pushed the University to start child care for staff and students through petitions, marches and occupations. The radical movement was democratic, socialist and feminist. I disagree with Fritz that if there had been a revolution it would have been undemocratic, chaotic and totalitarian. The revolutions in Russia and China took place in societies with very deep poverty and oppression and were opposed violently by internal and external forces that were recognizably fascist. There is no reason to suppose that the same trajectory would have been followed in Europe.
One of the foremost democracies left!
"de nos jours, il constitue le fondement d'une société démocratique"
Curieuse - et bien pauvre - argumentation a contrario qui consiste à justifier en une seule ligne le bien fondé du libéralisme avec l'affirmation (simpliste et manichéiste) que l'anti-libéralisme n'est pas démocratique, sans apporter une quelconque autre explication. L'exemple est celui de la Russie, bien entendu, pour rester dans le conformisme bien douillet de la bonne presse occidentale.
Désolé M. Osterwalder, vous êtes resté COMPLETEMENT marxiste dans votre dialectique.
Je vous signale au passage que la Russie vient de se sortir brillamment d'une période de massacres, de terreur et de persécutions sur 70 ans (!!!). Sur ce plan-là elle n'a de leçons à recevoir de personne en économie, surtout quand elle réussit encore à trouver de bonnes solutions pour contrer des sanctions économiques stupides, qui ont pénalisé par ailleurs bien plus qu'on croit de corporations et entreprises occidentales, demandez donc aux agriculteurs français ce qu'ils en pensent.
" je n'ai ensuite rejoint aucun parti, parce que mes travaux scientifiques m'intéressaient davantage"
Courageux ... mais pas téméraire, quand il s'agit de préserver vos intérêts personnels.
La droite libérale n'a pas beaucoup de souci à se faire et peut dormir tranquille quand on lit dans cet article ce qu'il reste du combat politique d'un ancien de 68 suisse. Est-il utile de rappeler que, selon une étude d'Oxfam, les 62 personnes les plus riches du monde ont autant d'argent que la moitié la plus pauvre du monde, soit environ 3,5 milliards? Peut-être qu'il serait tout de même bon de revisiter la pensée de Marx, sans pour autant la réduire au communisme autoritaire russe.
Pan metron ariston...disaient les grecs de l'antiquité. Que tout se face, mais en mesure. Finalement c'est ça la clé de la vraie Démocratie, il faut donc bien balancer les ingrédients, pour que la soupe soit bonne. Et aussi paradoxal que ça puisse paraître, il a fallu que certaines idées du LMR puissent passer pour équilibrer les droits sociaux, pour éviter que le régime ne devienne trop rigide et incongru face aux besoins de la société.

Q: Package fontenc not working on beamer In LaTeX, using the \documentclass{article}, I've used the packages inputenc as utf8 and fontenc for T1. For papers, these packages have been great in allowing me to type especial characters (in math mode and foreign languages), and the PDF's generated also allow the viewer to copy and paste said special characters.
Now I'm trying to create slides on LaTeX using \documentclass{beamer}. However, these packages are not working the same way they do on the article class. While the special characters appear just fine in the frames, I am not able to copy and paste those special characters. Below is a minimal working example.
\documentclass{beamer}

%\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} %removed as suggested my skillmon
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}
    \begin{frame}
        text... é ñ ç
    \end{frame}
\end{document}

How can I ensure that these special characters can be copied and pasted from the PDF's generated into any other file? I'm using these slides for class, and I need my students to be able to access to all the content in them.

After 52 years, the disappearance and probable murder of the Beaumont children could be about to be solved.
Jane, 9, Arnna, 7, and Grant, 4, vanished from Glenelg Beach on Australia Day 1966. There have been dozens of suspects and theories over the years, but no answers.
That could all change tomorrow, when South Australian police, along with forensic experts, begin a dig for the remains of the children, at the New Castalloy factory in North Plympton, Adelaide.
WATCH: 9news will live stream the dig on Friday from 8am.
The new dig site follows claims from the son of the now deceased Adelaide businessman Harry Phipps, the former owner of the New Castalloy factory.
Haydn Phipps, who is now deceased, says he saw the Beaumont children at his home, the day they disappeared.
His son Nick Phipps told A Current Affair exclusively his father watched the children walk in alive, before later being carried out.
"My father was actually in a tree house, at the property. He saw them come in and saw them getting carried out and put into the back of a Cadillac," Nick said.
Nick says his father told him the children were then taken to the New Castalloy factory, and "put in a hole".
Despite Harry Phipps being his grandfather, Nick doesn't hold back when describing him, saying he had a "violent side" who molested his dad from a young age.
Nick say says that when his grandfather got angry, he transformed, describing it as a "psychotic style of episode" where his eyes would change.
Adding weight to the theory that Harry Phipps killed the Beaumont children, are two now-grown men who say Phipps paid them to dig a hole at his factory around the time the children disappeared.
Authorities decided to conduct a new dig in a nearby area, after a Flinders University investigation found an anomaly beneath the surface in a area consistent with where the brothers say they dug.
Alan Whiticker is the co-author of The Satin Man, which first revealed Harry Phipps as a possible suspect.
Mr Whiticker believes Harry Phipps gained the children's trust by giving them a one pound note, before luring them to his house, which was just hundreds of metres away.
"Harry Phipps was known to use pound notes … In giving a pound note to Jane Beaumont, he paid for more than enough lunch and ensured that she would come back and give him the change," he said.
Mr Whiticker believes Mr Phipps flew under the radar of police because of his wealth and status.
Police will begin the dig at the New Castalloy factory at 8am on Friday.
