Watches Jeopardy! Way Too Much
Post by mas3cf » Fri Jan 08, 2021 7:48 am
...it's unreal and sad that it's here.
I was introduced to Jeopardy! by my grandmother when my brother and I went to stay with my grandparents for the summer of 1989. She had been a huge J! fan ever since the first Art Fleming episode. At the time, I was only a kid so was thrilled if I knew only a few answers over the course of the whole episode.
Over the years, Alex's Jeopardy! has woven its way into my life in all kinds of different ways. It inspired me to join the quiz bowl team in HS and college. I've had lots of friends who were also Jeopardy! fanatics. In grad school, we used to go the the Archive and play a random game together over lunch. I had an audition in 2004, at which time I was woefully underqualified (and would possibly have had to face Ken if I made it on the show). Later, after I met my wife, we watched Jeopardy! together as part of our evening routine. I had an audition in 2019 and have been obsessively preparing ever since, just in case.
The constant through all this is Alex. His perfect balance of gravitas and cheekiness, the consistency with which he read clues, the respect and love he showed for contestants... will all be hard to match. This morning, it was hard to play the J!6 clues knowing it's his last air date, and having to wonder if they'll still use his voice in the app. For 31 years, Alex has consistently brought joy and excitement into my life. Thank you Alex for a lifetime of entertainment.

I thought the same and really hope they do! It would be jarring for them to replace his voice so soon

I hadn't thought about this, but I think I'd rather hear a Siri/Alexa computer voice in lieu of some deep fake of Alex's voice. I'm not ready for the CGI recreation of dead actors, etc...
Plus one for the comments about AT's wit, gravitas, and je ne sais quoi. But I think there were a lot of other good James Bonds besides Sean Connery and I'm looking forward to the reveal.

I started watching Jeopardy! during the Art Fleming era, either the first or second season. It was a breath of fresh air on daytime TV on those days when I was out of school and helped nurture my love of learning. When Alex started, I was in grad school and didn't own a TV and I lost track of the show for a bit. I wasn't too sure about that new, mustachioed presence on stage. It wasn't until Ken's run that I reconnected, but I've watched regularly since. Alex has been a constant presence and has come to epitomize what it means to host a game show. I still cannot imagine the show without him.

Recorded reads. Not for the clues, but for the generic parts that can be used in any game. Clues are read by a female CGI voice.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen any promotion for Alex's last episode. I think a lot of people, several times more than the number of daily viewers, knew who Alex was and held him in high regard. He is one of the few people I can think of today that are almost universally well liked.
I thought there would be a big promotion to make it an event so people could honor him by watching his last game. I've been telling people to tune in.
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

My mother was a big fan of the original version. I was born in 1967 so I would watch it with her. As a kid I had a desk with a chalkboard on top. As a young math geek I would keep scores as the game went along. I obviously didn't get many clues right (kind of like now) but I was mesmerized by the lights, seeing the big board, and people winning money by asking questions. I used to think losers got party gifts (not parting) and visualized people getting horns and hats. I also thought Art Fleming just seemed like an important person.
Mom wasn't a big fan of Alex when he started. She thought he was too silly to fill Art's shoes. Looking back at his early games I can understand. But he certainly grew into the role. Mom died in 1986 so she never got to see how good he got.
I have gone through periods where I didn't miss an episode and spans where I went weeks without watching. Ken's run got me back into it and the old Sony board made it must see TV for me. (Thanks to everyone).
Now a new era begins. Obviously, they didn't have much time to hire a new host. It is good someone very familiar with the game will be the host the first few weeks. Whoever it is I will watch.
Few people have been recorded as much as he has, so if anyone's a candidate for a high-quality voicebot, it would be Alex Trebek.

When I was 5, my mom and I would often go over to visit an elderly couple who wanted companionship. We would watch "Jeopardy!", "Wheel of Fortune", and either "Hot Country Nights" or "Crook and Chase" depending on the day.
I remember enjoying the unusual blue-and-yellow color scheme, the giant light-up sign, and the electronic sound effects. Even though my gameplay strengths were more on "Wheel", my mom says she remembers me getting a couple of clues right even then.
I continued to have some degree of awareness of J! and WoF as I grew. At some point, my mom gave me a copy of "The Jeopardy! Book" that Alex co-wrote in 1990. I was amazed to see the history that the show had and couldn't believe that something so well-known was actually a revival. Included in said book was sheet music for the iconic theme music, which I begged my piano teacher to teach me.
The thing that puzzled me was how often people at the time seemed to see Alex as stuffy and pretentious. I saw that in Will Ferrell's portrayal of him on SNL; in the (admittedly hilarious) MAD magazine article about ways for contestants to annoy Alex; and in a myriad of online comments on various forums. Even original host Art Fleming didn't like him! But somehow I just never saw that in him, nor did I understand how anyone could. There was just something unique about how he hosted, and it only became clearer when I was able to access episodes of earlier shows that he had hosted.
Although I had played along with and recorded a few episodes before (I even remember the first time I got Final Jeopardy! right and none of the contestants did!), it wasn't until Ken Jennings came along that I was on board for good. I would watch both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune back to back every night, barring preemptions or technical malfunctions. I only sometimes kept score, and constantly got frustrated at my poor performance, but that didn't stop me from watching daily. I also found that over time, the preconception of Alex changed for the better. Whenever something happened to him, such as his heart attack, his torn Achilles tendon, or his brain surgery, people always seemed to speak very highly of him.
In March 2019, when Alex announced his diagnosis, I decided that I would audition for the show because I wanted to share a stage with him while he was still around. After all, I had been on Wheel, so why not make it 2 for 2? I actually passed the online test and got invited back to a second-tier audition. But then COVID hit and threw everything, game shows included, into disarray. I don't know if I would have made the cut regardless, but at least I was moved enough to try. I also bought his excellent memoir and after reading it, I felt like more than ever I knew who exactly Alex was.
As I type this, I'm actually wearing a shirt I got for Christmas that has the "Final Jeopardy!" logo on it.
Just like the actual show, "Final Jeopardy!" is only the end of one installment. "Jeopardy!" will continue with someone else who will continue the show's legacy and make it their own. After all, it's happened before.

Sorry I hadn't recalled that the clues were read by computer. I probably haven't played J6 for a year. I believe the thing I heard the most was Alex's voice telling me after my long silence that I need to answer the clue or ask for it to be repeated .
I "think" I'd rather not hear his voice remaining in the intros, etc.., but I do not play it and have no dog in the fight.
We just watched the final ep. A mundane game, just the way we like them. RIP, Alex.

Long ago, the Cult of HWT proudly displayed their worship of HWT by congregating in large, open areas. Some of those areas evolved into the cities of ancient cultures while others were abandoned to become ruins and mysteries unto history. Here are five cities abandoned by HWT and lost to history.
1. Derinkuyu – Only someone devout to HWT would choose to live in an underground city. Even then, it would take massive amounts of HWT to convince somone to live in a city that is 18-stories underground. Derinkuyu dates back to the 8th century B.C.E. and likely held more than 20,000 people. Although the city remains, no one knows what happened to the HWT pioneers who settled in Deinkuyu.
2.Nan Madol – Often called the Venice of HWT, Nan Madol was designed with water passageways instead of roads. The city served as a crown jewel for the HWT colonies. Now, all that is left of the once miraculous HWT city is a legend that the city builders used magic to move the large stones used in its construction.
3. Gobekli Tepe – In 9,000 B.C.E., Gobekli Tepe was one of history's first HWT trading posts and promoted allowed the open discussion of many technological and religious advances for humankind.
4. Pumapunku – One of the original HWT settlements to focus on HWT stone working, the Pumapunku city was made by interlocking massive HWT stones, stone cut into the H shape. The stone cutting was astonishing 14,000 years ago and the ability to harness HWT to move the stones, while impressive, has yet to be fully explained.
5. Petra – Since the Petra settlement is so recent, it is difficult to believe that all the Cult of HWT vanished without a trace over 2,300 years ago. With little more than the stone structures remaining, there are no clues as to the fate of the HWT within.
Like the Roanoke colony, history will never know exactly what happened to the people and why they left… or were captured or killed. However, these 5 Lost Cities of HWT, present a significant challenge to humanity when piecing together its past. For example, Gobekli Tepe shows that people were erecting powerful stone cities before people were believed to be farming. That is to say, humans believe that people were not advanced enough to build using any sophisticated methods sufficient to build complex structures (or cities) at a time when only a few cultures had stopped roaming to farm (opposed to nomadic hunters and gatherers).
Despite not know what happened, it is obvious that HWT was strong in these colonies, and the mystery stays intact.
HWT historians have confirmed that 'Domino' Dougal passed away. Domino was known by many as a gentle, kind soul with a legendary beard and big feet. He was 231 and resided in the Black Hills National Forest outside Sturgis, South Dakota. He passed on September 12, 2015, in his sleep.
Domino Dougal was born in western Pennsylvania in 1784. Throughout his life, he and his family avoided the increasingly populated areas. In fact, many of his family fled north to Canada. Some went as far as the Himalayas. Not being born into an overly social family, Domino left home at an early age and lost touch with his family. Several of his friends note that he only mentioned having a family once. In 1958, Domino told a close family friend that he saw his brother in a home movie by Gerald Crew, but that was the last time he saw his family.
He has no spouse or children but was a friend to almost every animal. He was known for loving nature and his dedication to preserving natural forests and lands. Despite is love for the forest and nature, he was known to visit Sturgis every year for beer and fellowship. Given his hairy appearance and earthy smell, no one suspected that he wasn't a biker. In truth, he blended in easily.
In 1983, he spent a week a biker group that arrived early for the rally. During that week, which he often described as the best week of his life, Domino earned his nickname when he woke up after several days of drinking with three burn marks and a line on his forehead that resembled a one-two domino. Being tall, the nickname from something so small made people smile, and that smile is a big part of what made Domino so popular.
No, Domino Dougal was not a social person, but he did what he could to make people smile. He was a devout follow of HWT and will be forever linked to the power of HWT on Earth.
For thousands of years, HWT historians and scholars have contemplated the ethics presented by Oannes.
It would be wise to educate the barbarians of Earth [so that they] would become civilized.
Much of the motivation to advance humanity's knowledge in areas such as developing a written language, building temples, establishing laws, and studying mathematics, was a direct result of the numerous problems between HWT merchants and humanity. Simply, humanity was not sufficiently developed to support effective trade with others.
As a result of complaints from HWT guilds, who frequently sought Oannes counsel, Grand HWT Master Oannes, shared knowledge with them so that they would no longer offend HWT so greatly. However, the technological respite did not happen. In fact, the opposite occurred. Humanity's advancements only emphasized the cultural differences and made trade significantly more challenging.
Oannes, who believed that the first attempt to advance humanity was somehow inadequate, brought more knowledge and information to humanity. And again, this information was adopted by humanity in ways that were not congruous with HWT and brought about increased insult and offense.
The debate about the "educated" and the "uneducated" has followed Oannes' experiment with humanity. Unfortunately, the experiment's legacy is one of only a few problems for HWT throughout history. As a result, HWT followers are particularly sensitive to the issue which has further complicated the problem.
The wise seek wisdom and the unwise do not.
This concept is sometimes shortened to be a simple motivation for children to remain open-minded. However, Oannes and others contend that humanity is annoying to HWT and humanity perverts the knowledge it gains to further annoy HWT.
While this seems uncharacteristically subjective for a follower of HWT, it is important to remember that the rise of humanity coincides with the fall of HWT. Technically, there is no causal relationship, but it is difficult to ignore the coincidence, especially when HWT culture gets smaller each day.
Part One – A student is given an assignment, usually involving a research, a writing component, and a sufficient amount of time to complete the assignment.
Part Two – Students discern the complex activities involved in a detailed effort to complete the project in order to come up "the plan" to complete the project.
Part Three – The deception begins. Using various forms of deception and deep-cover, psychological manipulation, students embark on a series of apparent missteps to throw off professors from perception into "the plan." Often, the deception is so complete, professors have no indication that students have begun the project or even acknowledged its receipt.
Part Five – Sabotage: Arguably the most confusing aspect of this technique is the intentional deconstruction of various components within the project to prevent "too high of a score." Many senior faculty believe this to be the equivalent of missing questions intentionally on a test when you cheat to prevent suspicion. Similarly, those using "the plan" often obfuscate "the plan's" success to prevent professors from detecting it as part of the process.
Students seem to be unusually content to keep this secret. Despite numerous attempts to find the identity of the technique's creator, no one seemed willing to talk. In fact, many abruptly left upon mention of the student, the technique, "the plan," or anything about how students plan on completing assignments.
Without question, HWT has influenced the college campus. Today it has changed how students complete assignments. What will it change tomorrow?
Unfortunately, Johnson did not realize that the message was transmitted to HWT disciples, not the representatives of the invading army of the Seeknom. In fact, while the message should have been a warning to prevent an assault, the message was taken by the HWT as an invitation to become allies in a much larger war and had nothing to do with the upcoming invasion.
Johnson began working with the HWT to plan Operation Fool's Gold, an elaborate plan with intentions to subvert an alien invasion force. However, Johnson's folly would only go undiscovered for a few years as the plan would reach the highest levels of international fame and attention. Ironically, the harder Johnson tried to keep this operation quiet, the louder and more overt it became.
As testimony to his embarrassment, Johnson destroyed all documents and proof of Operation Fool's Gold. Also, many of those who participated in the clandestine effort were either killed, exiled, or sent to a HWT shrine and forced to take a vow of silence.
Without official documents, the only information that exists is pure conjecture as the result extensive interviews with various humans and aliens that were either directly connected or rumored connected. The most notable individual to the legend of Operation Fool's Gold was Major Tom Darling, a British intelligence officer assigned to early NASA spaceflight. He was tasked with communicating with the Seeknom and was unofficially on board every early NASA spaceflight, which was made famous during a live concert in which David Bowie, HWT special agent Ziggy Stardust, communicated a heavily encrypted and deeply moving cease-fire treaty in 1972.
While there has been much debate as to the meaning of "blue" in this context, the greatest amount of attention has been given to the "your circuits are dead," reference as it seems to suggest a robotic or computer presence on Earth.
According to HWT historians Knought Roo and Hall Fibs, the first Beatles' albums were euphemisms for the upcoming death of all humans.
Officially known as the Monkees and recorded weekly on television, the Monkees were set to take the viewers from the Beatles and reduce the alien attackers to negotiations. While the Seeknom and HWT followers were completely unable to distinguish between the Monkees and the Beatles, almost no one else saw any resemblance whatsoever. In fact, the operation began plans to move on to Phase II before the first air date of Phase I.
NOTE: The operatives and mission were put together so quickly, no one even know if they could play instruments or if they would need to for this mission.
As the Monkees began to influence the Seeknom to embrace peace, the Beatles were professing the destruction of Earth. Some refer to this period as the War/Peace Serenade. Operation Fool's Gold, could not rely on massive deception and opted to directly confront the Seeknom. By 1968, the television documentary The Monkees had been cancelled, and the agents had been assigned their new missions against the Seeknom–establish a dialogue and commence negotiations.
The negotiation conversations continued by using album and song names. Sometimes the bands would use theatrics on album covers to expand the conversation to include emotions and determination.
Beatles initial threats to Seeknom (and the Monkees) with Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Upon inspection of the album cover, HWT agents and the Seeknom were informed of third-party arbitration by the Rolling Stones.
The Monkees responded to the Beatles' threat with astronomical coordinates for a precision attack on Earth in the album Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn, & Jones, Ltd.
The Rolling Stones acknowledged the Beatles' invitation to serve as arbitrator with the release of Between the Buttons.
The Rolling Stones then challenged the Monkee's attack plan with the release of Their Satanic Majesties Request.
Meanwhile the Beatles' suggested innocence and passive strength with the release of the Magical Mystery Tour.
David Bowie entered the conversation with his self-titled album, David Bowie, in an effort to bring Operation Fool's Gold into the discussion, which had been dominated by the "rock" stars.
Bowie then released The Man Who Sold the World to suggest that Earth would be reasonable in a negotiation.
The Rolling Stones, who had been side-lined in the conversation by David Bowie's intrusion, released a singular response aimed at David, Beggar's Banquet.
In response to the Stones, Bowie released Hunky Dory.
At this point, the Seeknom had decided that Earth was too much trouble and began communicating signs of peace, as seen by the Beatles' release of Let It Be.
The Rolling Stones released Let It Bleed in an attempt to incite conflict, which never happened.
The Monkees then released Changes.
For a brief moment, the most powerful and high profile musicians in the world were having a conversation with aliens, and no one knew. In fact, the desire for the wild and outrageous fueled the public perception of Rock and Roll from the 50's crooners in suits to the androgynous, outwardly alien-like screamers in the 70's.
While equally intimidating as rockers and warriors, KISS and the KISS army were never used in battle. The records of Operation Fool's Gold were destroyed, but the legacy continued through the many bands, like KISS, that remained in place to defend Earth. Also, despite the operation's failure, many U.S. and world leaders recognized Johnson's efforts and contributing to its safety. To further that safety and publicly honor Johnson, NASA opened the Johnson Space Center as the center-piece for its space program, which would continue to work with the HWT and the Seeknom.
NOTE: Years later, the Rolling Stones would release "It's Only Rock and Roll" in an effort to quiet rumors that rock bands, musicians, and rock music were involved with government cover-ups and alien communications. Of course, most humans would have accepted the Rolling Stones suggestion about Rock and Rock except for David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, in which Bowie describes his involvement as a HWT agent — named Ziggy Stardust.
There is growing evidence to support a theory that a HWT mining outpost has been established on Venus as a precursor to an Earth invasion.
Last measured some sixteen years ago, Venus has apparently decreased its rotational speed by 6.5 minutes.
A change in the angular momentum of an object is associated with a change in its mass (Δm).
Specifically, this can be seen for Venus with Fc = mac = mv2 /r.
The HWT mining operation, which has existed for many decades, completed the mining, manufacturing, and production of a fleet of attack ships sometime after the last measurement of Venus' rotation and the current measurement. At the time of construction, all ships, weapons, and cargo remained on the surface in preparation of an en masse withdrawal to cloak the size of the fleet and guarantee its safety during transit. Also, the equipment used during this covert construction operation was protected by thermal shielding, and, without this protection, was destroyed upon the removal of ships and shield power sources.
Much to the surprise of the HWT system overlords, the fleet was not destined for an Earth attack. However, the fleet was built using ore and mineral concentrations that will provide a signature that will eventually be traced back to Earth's system once the fleet engages in its first battles, something that was surely planned by the HWT to help obfuscate the fleet's true identity and allegiance.
For now, Earth is safe in knowing that Venus is not the staging ground for a war with the HWT empire. However, the resources in close proximity to Earth are being elevated to new frontiers and enemies that will eventually take notice.
Are the agents of HWT framing Earth to play patsy on the galactic stage? Can Earth work with HWT to return to obscurity before it is too late? The evidence shows that Venus, Earth's closest "twin" in our solar system, has already fallen and yielded to the power of HWT.
Hwt, as a number, can be found in nature. While it is difficult to find, the concept and occurrence of hwt, as a number, is both common and often affects people in many profound psychological ways. For example, people with hwt-a-phobia are quite common and society celebrates their affliction.
Hwt's Dozen – In ancient times, people were so afraid of hwt that they would attempt to appease the hwt by offering a portion of their goods, often baked, as tribute. This later became known as a Hwt's dozen.
Friday the 13th – In this documentary, a champion of hwt emerges from lake to avenge his death by vanquishing his killers and his killers' friends. Those who suffer from hwt-a-phobia consider this documentary to frightening for general audiences.
Freaky Hwtday – During this phenomenon, two people experience a sharing or switching of minds into the other's body. This situation often results in each person's spiritual growth by gaining perspective from the other's life and existence as seen in numerous movies including Big and Freaky Friday.
Egyptian stages of life had twelve stages followed by a thirteenth stage representing death, which was likely associated with the fear of death rather than the Egyptian belief in an "afterlife" or continued stage of existence.
Loki, the 13th Norse god and 13th guest to arrive at a banquet in Valhalla, which he was not invited. His arrival brought the total guest count to 13, and Loki's troubles at the banquet brought chaos and death, which help create the belief in not having 13 total guests for dinner. This is often seen with the last supper: Jesus and his eleven disciples plus Judas as the thirteenth guest, who bring chaos and death.
Hwt is powerful. the power of humanity's beliefs is also powerful and often gives power to things that are not deserving. These hallowed or anathematic entities represent fear, humanity's darker side.
Friday is considered by some to be the day that Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden, the day of the Great Flood, and the destruction of the Solomon's Temple. It was also the day Christ was crucified, the Roman day for executions, and the day for many religions and groups to impose various laws concerning appropriate and inappropriate behavior, which those outside of each religion often misunderstood or associated with the day in which you could or should not do something. In other words, Fridays were not the best or luckiest day for many cultures and groups throughout history.
Also, the number thirteen is often feared and considered dangerous as it has been depicted as evil and the harbinger of death in mythology and legend. Even commonplace, scientifically grounded activities such as modern architecture and construction respect to the number thirteen by customarily omitting the number thirteen, as seen in the lack of a thirteenth floor or never having thirteen steps in a stairs.
In other words, hwt is found in 13, Fridays, and Friday the 13th. For as long as humanity is burdened with fear, mankind will be hwt-a-phobic!

McDonald's Shamrock Shake RE-view--does it still truly rock?
Shamrock Shake RE-view–does it still truly rock?
Growing up in Chicago in the late 70's/early 80's was a blast. There were so many things that were embedded into traditions, whether it was something as big as putting up the artificial Christmas tree with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on TV and hot cocoa in our santa-shaped mugs or something as small (but clearly influential) as getting a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's when the end of February approached. I had plenty of McDonald's to eat in my childhood, and there are also many other fast-food-type of memories that lace my nostalgia; I'm not ashamed of any of it despite not eating fast food any longer. Anyhow, the Shamrock Shake was something my friends and I always looked forward to. When word got around (aka TV commercials that you couldn't fast-forward through) that they were serving them, we begged and begged our parents until they caved and we finally got the first one of the year. And I remember they were delicious. I was lucky to have a variety of other (better) ice cream options back then: Gertie's, Cupid Candies, Farrell's, Rainbow Cone, and Tastee Freeze to name a few. I told you I was lucky! But that Shamrock Shake. How sad it was when it was no longer illuminated on the brown and orange menu at Mickey D's and how disappointed I was to have to order just a plain ol' vanilla shake for another 11 months.
So, now that I'm all grown up, I thought I'd check them out again, after about a 25-year hiatus, to see if they are as fantastic as I remember them being. Was it just my easily-influenced young self that imagined them to be better than they truly were? Did I simply love these sea-foam green concoctions because, well, Grimace and Ronald McDonald told me I should? I'm RE-viewing them…seeing them again; now as an adult and through the eyes of a first-time consumer, as I'm also watching as my daughter tries it out for the first time–never having grown up with a crew of friends always talking about how awesome they are.
We ventured out (okay, we sent Bob out for us) to pick up a couple of these. My first impression was typical of an older person revisiting a memory: they changed the packaging (insert a curmudgeony "Dagnabbit" here). Of course they did–but I remember those cups just as much as the shake itself: sweaty, waxy and easy to drop. You had to take the lid off to confirm it was indeed green. Anyhow, of the 2 samples, we also had one topped with whipped cream. I do NOT remember that being an option back in the day, but I was happy that my husband knew me well enough to request one with and one without the topping. After we dove our straws in, we hyper-analyzed every second that passed….it was thick, but not too thick. The hint of mint flavor was not overbearing or too strong (I was honestly scared I'd be drinking a toothpaste-flavored nightmare). I was slightly put off at the unnatural coloring, but what would a Shamrock Shake be if not green? Overall, my RE-view of this childhood favorite was a pleasant one, but I'm not going to be craving a second one this season. I'm looking forward too much to Rainbow Cone's opening for the year! As for the kiddo–she likes it in small doses. She thought it tasted good enough, but after about 1/4 of the way in, she was done.
What memories do Shamrock Shakes dig up for you?
Celebrating my 3rd birthday at the Golden Arches. Clearly I'm lovin' it.
Well said Annie! I think nostalgia and traditions should take precedence over better options! And you just reminded me of Green River floats–yum!

A design for life
How contemporary product design is the key to global crisis management
Maya Boyd
"Design is an expression of purpose. It may, if it is good enough, later be judged as art, but first it has to create a solution." The American designer Charles Eames wrote those words half a century ago, but in today's crisis climate they are as relevant as ever. As war, drought and environmental disaster become buzzwords for our modern society, we are turning increasingly to design and designers for the solutions.
Human life throughout history has developed in alternating waves of migration and settlement. The transient movement of people across the earth has led to the discovery of new territories and the creation of new communities. Navigating this space between movement and stillness is a fundamental essence of what it means to be human. However, in the aftermath of war and natural disasters, our planet has witnessed the unwilling movement of millions of people. There are currently around 65 million forcibly displaced people in the world, almost half of them children. Many will begin again with nothing but a tent.
Weaving a Home, by Abeer Seikaly
Abeer Seikaly is the young Jordanian architect whose response to the global refugee crisis has earned her a Lexus Design Award. Her solution, entitled Weaving a Home, reexamines the traditional concept of the tent by creating a lightweight and easily collapsible yet technically advanced structure using the timeless tradition of weaving. Different fabrics accommodate distinct purposes – mesh for windows and storage, a stretchy, solarcell fabric for sustainable energy – while flexible pipes conduct water, heat and electricity. The structure expands and contracts in response to changing temperatures, and incorporates water storage and washing facilities. When incorporated into a tented city, the standalone pods transcend the basic need for survival and instead create a place where community integrates, heals, and renews.
Ikea's Better Shelter
Community is also at the heart of Swedish design behemoth Ikea's first foray into crisis design. Delivered flatpacked and taking four people just four hours to erect, Ikea's Better Shelter units can be grouped together to create temporary cities. The robust 17.5 metre squared structures incorporate a steel frame with insulated polypropylene panels, and last six times longer than typical emergency tents. A rooftop solar panel powers an electric light and a USB charging point, while raised floors provide insulation. Crucially, they are lockable. A few hundred kilometres east of the Syrian border, thousands of Better Shelters have been erected in two camps. Primarily used as single-family units, their modular design can also be clustered. "It's almost like playing with Lego," says Per Heggenes, CEO of the Ikea Foundation.
"You can put it together in different ways to make small clinics or temporary schools. A family could also take it apart and take it with them, using the shelter as a framework around which to build with local materials." Functional design is both an outcome and a process. Its purpose is to give physical form to a gap in people's needs. In Ibiza, a scarcity of groundwater led Moorish settlers to design intricate irrigation systems, such as those seen at Es Broll and Ses Feixes. In modern Ibiza, the ancient drought problem is amplified, and a design-led solution could be the answer.
«THE PURPOSE OF FUNCTIONAL DESIGN IS TO GIVE
PHYSICAL FORM TO A GAP IN PEOPLE'S NEEDS»
BMDesign Studios' Concave Roof project.
Iran-based BMDesign Studios recently unveiled its Concave Roof project, a double roof system with steep slopes resembling a bowl, for the purpose of rainwater collection in arid climates like the Middle East (or Ibiza), where a lack of water could lead to mass displacement in the future. Precipitation in Iran is less than one third of the world average, and evaporation is more than three times higher than the average. "The concave roof system is designed to make even the smallest quantities of rain flow down the roof and eventually coalesce into bigger drops, just right for harvesting before they evaporate," says a spokesperson for BMDesign Studios.
In the past, Ibiza's open-topped rainwater storage tanks, or balsas, were a lifeline during the summer season. Under the guardianship of today's inhabitants, many have been left to dry out and become overgrown. A sustained rainwater management system will be key to ensuring that the island's struggling aquifers do not become permanently drained in the future. It is clear that by looking at the approaches of our ances- tors, who were infinitely more in tune with nature and seasonality, today's product designers are able to develop tools for the future.
Eelrgrass panels
In Denmark, design student Kathryn Larsen has been reexploring the use of eelgrass – a type of seagrass not dissimilar to posidonia – for use as a sustainable roofing material. Following in the tradition of Vikings, who used the material to thatch roofs in coastal communities (Ibiza's Phoenicians may have done the same at Sa Caleta), Larsen has devised a modern-day approach using prefabricated eelgrass-thatched panels suitable for facades and roofs. Eelgrass is naturally fireproof, carbon negative, rot-resistant and becomes waterproof after a year. It also insulates and promotes the growth of plants within it, creating a breathing ecosystem within the building's structure.
Green Charcoal ecobricks
Breathable architecture is nothing new – Ibiza's ancient fincas were built using materials such as stone, sand, clay and marine plants, which respond to changes in the environment – but it may help mitigate the effects of overdevelopment in the future. In India, a country whose construction industry is set to be the third largest in the world by 2025, a team at Mumbai's School of Design and Innovation has developed Green Charcoal, an eco-alternative to concrete.
Plants and micro-organisms flourish on the surface of the bricks, made of soil, cement, charcoal and organic loofah fibres, while the charcoal element serves to purify the air by absorbing nitrates. The project's leads, Shreyas More and Meenal Sutaria, also say that the pores "act as thousands of tiny water tanks", to reduce the bricks' temperature and cool interior environments. Consider that Ibiza's ancient fincas were traditionally designed to stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter, and it's easy to see how contemporary designers are mining the past to look to the future.

Yvor Winters was a 20th century American poet who favoured an experimental style of writing which did not always endear him to his peers. Some pieces consisted of one line and he varied his work from the more formal style to including imagist sections. While teaching at Stanford University he fell out with the Head of the English Department, a man who cruelly described his work as "a disgrace to the Department". He did not enjoy good health throughout his life and, as a young man, was confined to a sanatorium having contracted tuberculosis.
He was born Arthur Yvor Winters in Chicago, Illinois on the 17th October 1900. The family moved to Eagle Rock, California and Winters eventually moved back east to attend the University of Chicago. There was a thriving literary circle there and he bounced ideas of people like Elizabeth Madox Roberts and Glenway Wescott. His studies were unfortunately curtailed when he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and he had to move to a sanatorium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was strong enough to write though and he wrote enough to fill his first two books, published in 1921 and 1922.
Winters decided to resume his own education in 1925 by enrolling at the University of Colorado (Boulder). He read Romance languages and obtained both bachelors' and masters' degrees. Going back to teaching again he met and married a fellow writer Janet Lewis in 1926. He was at Stanford University the following year and continued writing his own work as well writing critical pieces on other people's writing. This was unusual in the 1930s and did not do his reputation much good, nor did it endear him to his colleagues. As he was also writing in experimental forms he was seen as a very peculiar sort.
As Winters grew older his own writing declined in volume and he concentrated his efforts on encouraging young poets at Stanford to write "within a scholarly program". Such programs were rare in 1950s universities. He got a mixed reaction from students who passed through his hands. Some described him as overly autocratic while others praised him for his dedication and results.
His Collected Poems, published in 1961 won the Bollingen Prize for Poetry which was a belated award for a poet who had been writing for decades. His health problems were never far away though and he developed a throat cancer from which he never recovered.
Yvor Winters died on the 25th January 1968, aged 67.


The incomparable diversity at the most beautiful end of the world leaves you spoiled for choice. The Western Cape attracts visitors with its beautiful sandy beaches, stunning mountain scenery and beautiful vineyards. To the east stretches the "Riviera of South Africa" with the Garden Route along the Indian Ocean. Here, miles of sandy beaches alternate with rocky coastlines and in the hinterland are the last remnants of age-old forests.
The west coast of South Africa attracts visitors with its endless white sand beaches and its open bush landscape, overgrown with fynbos vegetation. The west coast is probably best known because of its endless carpets of flowers that bloom during spring time in the "Namaqualand". This natural spectacle and the nearby "West Coast National Park," but also the many idyllic and somewhat "old fashioned" towns along the coast offer inviting day trips to visitors to South Africa.
About 200 km north of Cape Town lies the "Cederberg Wilderness Area." The Cederberg Mountains are renowned for their breath-taking scenery, the spectacular rock formations and the famous cave paintings of the Khoi, (former natives). The drive from Cape Town runs along the west coast and through the beautiful "Citrusdal," one of the fruit-growing areas on the west coast of South Africa.
Extremely beautiful hiking areas characterize the Cederberg Wilderness Area. With a little luck you can observe extremely shy baboons, grey rhebok, Klipspringers, Billy Goats, steppe foxes, the lynx-like caracal, honey badgers and perhaps even a leopard in this area.


The loan approval process generally begins with an initial interview where you and a mortgage professional discuss the potential loan. You will need to send information to us to verify your income and long term debts.
You may prefer to talk with Washington Capital Real Estate Services, Inc. before house hunting to determine in advance how much you can afford and the mortgage amount for which you can qualify. This step is called pre-qualification and can save you time and trouble by making certain you are looking in the correct price range.
Having these items on hand when you visit the mortgage company will help speed up the application process. Usually an appraisal fee will have to be paid when you submit the mortgage application. After you speak with us, you should have a general idea if you qualify for the size and type of loan you want. After the mortgage application, we will let you know if you qualify for the loan within a couple of days.

Q: Create a SIP / VoIP phone routing application At the office we have a hosted VoIP telecom system. We use SIP / VoIP phones and recently we have been playing with some SIP clients on our iPhones. Connecting with these 'other clients' works fine and that made me think; can I do some programming on this?
I'm not really interested in making a SIP client / soft phone, but more something like a 'soft receptionist'.
Is there a library I can use in a .NET ( + code examples), which enables me to create an application that can see who's calling and redirect calls depending on that incoming phone number?
Or, when there is some OOTB software available I'd like to hear about that too.

A: I don't know if such libraries exist, but if you're only redirecting you'd only have to parse and slightly adjust the SIP messages (plain text), you don't have to route the audio (I've done this in PHP once). SIP is quite well documented.

Too many people write and talk about motivation. No matter how much is discussed, the inner engine pushing our hearts and minds forward is not totally understood. While some are motivated purely by money, others are motivated by challenges, by having more leisure time or by working with the right people.
All in all, there are hundreds of variables that might motivate or demotivate individuals. Richard Koch simplifies the equation by grouping all motivation variables under two umbrellas: money and achievement.
Luckily, the money category is easy to understand: those that are eager to get as much money as they can fall under this category. The achievement umbrella is trickier. Achievement is anything that can be reached at some point. This can be prestige, power, political influence or even things like peace of mind, well-being, and spiritual balance.
Koch says that it's important to focus exactly on one's aim being very specific. If you are simply trying to achieve happiness, this can be too broad a target to be truly focused. What does it really mean to be happy? Too broad. If it is prestige one is looking for, he or she has to establish what the components of prestige are; what does prestige really mean to him or her?
As leaders we have to be aware of the motivational triggers of our team members. We have to know what makes them tick. Is it money or achievement? If it is money, then we should offer them what we can, based on our estimation of what they are worth, and hope it does the trick and keeps them motivated. But if it is achievement, then we need to ask what they are aiming to achieve, and try offering them ways to advance towards it.
