Mikey Leung - Using storyworlds in transmedia social campaigns
Transmedia Storytelling: Narrative worlds, emerging technologies, and global audiences
UNSW Sydney (The University of New South Wales)
Transmedia storytelling is the practice of designing, sharing, and participating in a cohesive story experience across multiple traditional and digital delivery platforms - for entertainment, advertising and marketing, or social change. Have you ever read a book, seen a movie, watched a television show, or played a game that centred around different aspects of a larger story or universe? You may be familiar with popular examples of such universes like Star Wars, Marvel, and The Walking Dead (to name a few). How do the professionals develop such expansive narratives? How do they ensure that each element stays true to the original story? How do they innovatively use different technologies to share the stories, grow audiences and create an active and involved community of fans? More and more, we are also engaging with elements or franchises of larger and more complex stories across a much more diverse range of platforms like interactive web experiences, social media communities, mobile devices, theme parks, and even augmented and virtual reality. A major challenge that current and future storytellers face is being able to engage different audiences in a story that is seamlessly told across all of these different platforms. WHAT WILL I LEARN? This course will help you to design a strategy for developing and telling your own transmedia story. You will learn about what it takes to: • Shape your ideas into compelling and well structured narratives and complex story worlds • Identify, understand, and engage different audiences in your stories • Create cohesive user experiences across different platforms • Evaluate existing and emerging technologies to share your story with the world, and help your audience participate in the larger storyworld you create The course provides you with a unique, authentic, and industry relevant learning opportunity. You will have access to current theory, industry examples and advice and undertake learning activities that will equip you with the tools you need to start developing your own ideas. WHO WILL MY INSTRUCTORS BE? You will learn effective transmedia design strategies from leading UNSW Australia Art & Design academics. You will also examine case studies that demonstrate how amazing ideas, technology and audience contributions can be brought together to create dynamic storyworlds. You'll see examples of major, successful transmedia storytelling projects involving movies, digital entertainment, gaming, virtual reality and more. In collaboration with our industry partner X Media Lab, the course will give you inside access to the personal stories, insight and advice of the following innovative transmedia storytelling professionals from Hollywood USA, Canada and Australia. • Susan Bonds, 42 Entertainment, Los Angeles, USA • Flint Dille, Screenwriter, Game Designer and Novelist, Los Angeles, USA • Cindi Drennan, Illuminart, Australia • Tom Ellard, UNSW Art & Design, Sydney, Australia • Catherine Fargher, Dr Egg Digital, Sydney, Australia • Hal Hefner, 3AM Creative, USA • Brian Seth Hurst, StoryTech, Los Angeles, USA • Henry Jenkins, School for Communication and Journalism, University of Southern California, USA • Mikey Leung, Digital Storytellers, Sydney, Australia • Alex Lieu, 42 Entertainment, Los Angeles, USA • Geoffrey Long, Annenberg Innovation Lab, University of Southern California, USA • John McGhee, UNSW Art & Design, Sydney, Australia • Joseph Narai, Transmedia Entertainment, Sydney, Australia • Jeff Nicholas, The Uprising Creative, Los Angeles, USA • Sergio Paez, Graphic Artist working in animation, TV, video games, and film.

The most natural way for
me to describe those differences would be storyworld being like a larger narrative.
Let's just take Star Wars for example, you've got the force, good and evil.
The Darth Vader, and his guys, the Storm Troopers, are looking to get evil.
And you've kind of got this world around.
And then, you've got the good guys, the Jedis, out there.
But inside of that, there's all these little stories happening,
all these little subplots and things happening.
So, stories can take you into the subplots within that greater narrative,
within that greater story world, if you want to call it that.
and it's pretty exciting when you get to design and
craft that whole world, and play different characters inside of that, and
follow different storylines with what's going on.
In terms of our work at Digital Storytellers,
we'll often work with Organization.
So, I was talking about domestic violence earlier.
And we're just finishing a film for White Ribbon right now which
is a man's campaign to end male violence against women.
So, the world we're talking about is actually a fair and just world where men
and women live equally, and there's respect between both genders.
And, there isn't, and where domestic violence doesn't exist, okay?
But within that, we need to talk about individual stories.
We need to talk about, how a sports player, and a locker room,
says don't talk about women that way.
Because I don't want to hear that, I don't agree with that world,
where women are degraded or, it's in our language.
You know, and the c word, and the mother f word and stuff like that.
Those are all negative, derogatory words that talk about this woman hating world.
>> I would be talking to another man and saying, I think that gender violence
against women is wrong, I think that you should think it's wrong too.
And I invite you to speak out about it the next time you see something happening
that you have a role to play.
In creating this equitable world this more fair world.
I don't know if that pitch would exactly work with my mates, but
I'd say it in such a way where I know that my audience is action center of my story.
And that's what we have to do as trans media story tellers to get our story
shared and transmitted among among groups of people we want to activate.
So in our story world we need to envision where the future is and
be inspired to step towards that to live our full potential
to pursue our values of equality,
which we know in Australia the fair go and the view of fairness here in Australia.
These are very strong views in Australian society.
Now how do we step towards those?
We need to tell stories which can help bring our
audience on that journey towards, a fair, more equitable world.
And, inside of those stories, we can attach to characters
who we resonate with, who we want to see succeed,
towards creating that larger story world, and we need to follow their journey.
So that's why you have a nine part series in Star Wars, for instance, following all
these different characters, as they struggle to save the world, in a sense.
But, underneath that, is us following those individual journeys,
like, that's what's also powerful about story telling.
Is when we can attach to characters, human characters,
things that we can relate to, at human level, inside of these stories.
Then we can start to see the larger narrative,
the story world that we're trying to create.


Marlberry is an evergreen shrub/small tree that averages 12 to 15 feet in height with a 6 to 12 foot spread, depending on how it is maintained. It has symmetrical, narrow, oval crown, and an upright form with dense foliage that can also be trained as a multi-trunked specimen tree. It has a moderate growth rate.
Leaves are evergreen, alternate in arrangement, simple with entire margins, semi-glossy, an average of 3 to 5 inches long, oval to elliptical in shape, and dark green in color. It has pinnate veins.
The flowers are white to pinkish with prominent yellow stamens, small, fragrant, and are borne in dense panicles that are about 5 inches long. It will bloom periodically throughout the year.
The fruit are round, dark purple in color, ¼ inch in diameter, and fleshy.
Moderate to very good Salt Spray Tolerance – it will tolerate some spray, but it is best to have more protection such as a fence or building as an additional barrier behind the first row of plantings or the first dunes.
It will grow on a wide variety of well-drained soils in the pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. It will tolerate some wetter soils.
It has moderate drought tolerance once established, so some water is needed for survival in dry spells. As with most plants, though, ample irrigation in droughts keeps it healthier, looking better, and flowering/fruiting more.

Introduction: This paper endeavours to compare the normal English regulation and the eu Local community (EC) law on jurisdictional values, in that, it seeks to be familiar with and elucidate why the previous set of jurisdictional procedures price versatility and justice although the latter values certainty and predictability vis-à-vis one other. It shall analyse their historical or political history, their objectives and bases for assuming jurisdiction. It shall spotlight the areas of discrepancies among these jurisdictional regimes Using the aid of authorities like considerable Court docket circumstances and textbooks which have Other than outlining or simplifying the regulation have also helped its evolution.
Definition: The word 'Jurisdiction' can have numerous meanings, but when understood in context Together with the Court docket of regulation it generally implies the power or authority of a certain Courtroom to find out the issues just before it on which a choice is sought. The rules on Jurisdiction play a pivotal role in figuring out the Court's power to tackle the issues inside a given matter.
Jurisdictional issues become complex to the involvement of more than one Courtroom getting jurisdiction. This really is certainly a location of concern don't just to the international trade or business enterprise (who can be put in an invidious posture in which they are unaware in the extent of their liability) and also the sovereign states that seek to trade with one another without needing to spoil their amicable romance.
The English Regulation: The English lawful method (acquiring the common law at its core) has had and however proceeds to possess a formidable area in expounding the legislation on quite a few problems, largely as a consequence of The provision of intellectuals and experts which have aided it in doing so.
Standard English law (the common regulation) is essentially the case guidelines that have above time period turn out to be an authority with regards to the subject established therein. Before moving into the eu Union (EU) by signing the doc of accession in 1978, while in the U.K, along with the decide produced laws, even legislations played an important function nevertheless it may are kind of remedial in nature. On the other hand, It appears logical to allow the judge manufactured regulation to check the laws whenever it is so necessary because of the alter in conditions which may be supplied outcome to with relative relieve as as compared with the laws process.
Prior to the advent from the Brussels/Lugano program along with the Modified Regulation the traditional principles had been applied in all cases, and it is their historic roots that make it appropriate to refer to them as the normal English law/rules.

HORIZON 2020: Working together for the benefit of all
Researchers aided by the EU play a major role across the globe in developing valuable ideas, writes Máire Geoghegan-Quinn
HORIZON 2020, the EU's instrument supporting research, innovation, and science worth nearly €80bn over the next seven years, is one of the most open publicly funded programmes of its kind worldwide.
Representatives from the research, education, private, and public sectors from 185 different countries have already participated in the previous EU R&D framework programme.
From Accra to Adelaide, from Buenos Aires to Beijing, European researchers and industries have collaborated and continue to do so with partners around the world on a range of different topics.
Global societal challenges such as climate change, food security, an ageing population, energy security, and combating disease, require an increasingly concerted international research effort.
European scientists and researchers must work in a spirit of co-operation with the best international talent if Europe is to create the goods, processes, and services necessary to tackle these societal challenges.
Examples of international co-operation supported by the EU's research programmes include:
-Tackling diseases such as cancer and diabetes with the National Institutes of Health in the US;
-Working with organisations in India to put in place new techniques for the provision of safe water;
-Carrying out joint research projects with the Brazilian government, both in the development of new, cleaner energies, and by putting in place interoperable standards for cloud computing and internet technologies;
-Developing new advanced materials using nanotechnology with organisations from both China and Russia;
-Working with the US Department of Energy in setting new standards for electric cars.
The EU's Joint Research Centre is also working with a variety of organisations around the world in the areas of weather prediction, flood, tsunami, and earthquake alerts, including, for example, with the Japanese Meteorological Agency.
Preserving the Atlantic Ocean is a fundamental concern for Ireland. The EU's Blue Growth Strategy provides for significant international research co-operation opportunities for Ireland to work together with Atlantic partner nations in the Americas.
Horizon 2020 provides €100m for proposals addressing Atlantic observation systems, an integrated response to oil spills and marine pollution, as well as climate change impacts on fisheries and aquaculture. In this way, the EU will make an essential contribution to the global task of preserving our oceans and their resources for future generations.
In Africa, the EU is funding a very important initiative called the European and Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership. The EU is contributing €1bn to this programme between 2014-2020 to carry out research to combat HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, malaria, and other poverty related diseases.
Figures show that such illnesses affect 1bn people in the world, of whom 400m are children. The EU is working in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation on these critically important and sensitive health issues.
In addition to accelerating the development of much-needed drugs, vaccines, and diagnostics, we are working to improve affordable pathways to ensure that these products quickly reach those greatest in need. At the EU Innovation Convention in Brussels next March, we will announce the winner of a prize for a project to ensure the more effective delivery of vaccines in Africa. The prize-winning ideas have the potential to save lives.
The research, innovation, and science sectors can also be used beneficially to promote diplomatic relations on behalf of the EU.
For example, the EU financially supports a Unesco-backed project called Sesame, set up in 2002 in Jordan, which unites physicists from around the Middle East.
This is a small but positive development for the region. Likewise, through Horizon 2020, we look forward to continuing to build strong economic and scientific ties in Europe's neighbourhood countries, like in the Danube region for example, where joint water and soil management measures are helping to improve agricultural output and reduce the risk of floods.
Finally, consider for a moment the following startling population statistics: iIn 1950, 3bn people lived on this planet. Currently, there is a population of approximately 7bn people. In just 30 years from now, this figure is projected to increase to 9bn.
This poses many new and critical challenges for us all, in areas including food and energy security, climate change and sustainable development. Hundreds of new cities will be built across world and increased urbanisation will become a growing global phenomenon. We need to equip these cities with smart and innovative technologies to support new infrastructure across all sectors including health, transport, energy and construction.
Because the scale and magnitude of these challenges are so enormous, it is essential that governments, researchers, educational institutions and businesses work together.
Co-operation and a sense of common purpose will allow us to achieve our objectives for better lives, more jobs and economic growth.

Catholic Church abuse scandal
Archdiocese of Santa Fe to hold another auction in hopes of raising cash for clergy abuse victims
By Rick Ruggles rruggles@sfnewmexican.com
Rick Ruggles
Dec 6, 2021 Updated Dec 7, 2021
The Archdiocese of Santa Fe will hold another online auction beginning Jan. 31 to sell more parcels of land for a settlement with close to 400 victims of clergy abuse.
No settlement has been reached since the archdiocese filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy three years ago. The archdiocese hopes to raise enough money through property sales, donations, insurance and other methods to work out a group settlement, so each victim isn't addressed in separate lawsuits.
The online auction will conclude Feb. 7. The auction's website, www.ASFbankruptcyauction.com, will be available on Jan. 3 and will list the parcels involved.
SVN Auction Services of Florida and Louisiana will oversee the auction, as it did the first one in September. That auction generated about $1.4 million for the archdiocese, said Louis Fisher III of SVN, although officials are still closing on some of the transactions.
"I think the buyers in most cases were pleased with their purchases," Fisher said.
Attorney Aaron Boland of Santa Fe, who represents one of the victims, said the archdiocese's insurance policies — and how much insurance companies will pay out — are a much bigger matter than the auctions.
"The real issue here is, there's a lot of insurance that covers a lot of different things for the archdiocese," Boland said. "The issue is whether the insurance is going to ... pay out on the policies that they sold the archdiocese."
The Rev. Glennon Jones, archdiocese vicar general, wrote in late September "we're negotiating with the insurance companies ... unfortunately, that may take a while, but there's no way to speed it up."
Attorney Merit Bennett of Santa Fe, who represents four victims, said it's good the archdiocese is trying to liquidate assets. "This should be their top priority," Bennett said of archdiocese's leaders. Some victims "need help; they need therapy, emotional support. ... They can't afford it."
He said lives have been shattered to the point where some victims can't work or function adequately. The Catholic Church, he said, must "get that wrong somehow semi-righted."
Fisher said the second auction would include 427 properties packaged into 80 bundles in 16 New Mexico counties. He said he hoped the archdiocese could generate $2 million to $4 million, but that it was hard to estimate.
About 20 parcels will sell individually, but most in the auction are small tracts that were donated to the archdiocese. They tend to be rural pieces of property and don't have addresses, he said. The properties will use uniform property code numbers set up by the counties in which they are found, he said.
He said he recommended hiring a New Mexico real estate broker, who would be paid out of SVN's 10 percent commission. The broker would help a prospective buyer figure out exactly where a property is if the buyer needs such help, he said.
Bennett, who called the process a test of the Catholic Church, said of the archdiocese's effort to resolve the bankruptcy: "Well, they always need to try harder. ... This is the time when the rubber meets the road."

Once again we see the Archdiocese of Santa Fe conglomerate conduct another auction of their "non-essential" portfolio assets. These non-revenue producing scrapes of land scattered around New Mexico are likely just a burden to the this religious business anyway.
Of course, there are several properties right in the very heart of Santa Fe that could be auctioned in an attempt to try to fairly compensate the victims of the egregious wrongs perpetrated on them by this church business.
The Cathedral of St Francis and it adjacent land parcels are on the appraisal books at a very low $5.4 Mil. Surely, they might likely fetch double that, given their primo locations. Of course, this catholic church business has shielded them in a variety of corporate entities to make them even more difficult for the victims to attach. There are many more churches that should be sold to fund these settlements.
Just more of the same from this godly crime syndicate.

Yup. Thanks for the expertise. Every priest, Christian brother, Nun, and even the ushers are all evil and every single child educated in a Catholic school has been abused! Yes, make the Church liable but END CATHOLICISM is really a ton of dribble and drama. I'm guessing you are a non-believer and have no religious beliefs.
Daniel Mathews Dec 7, 2021 10:31am
Per the vicar general, "we are negotiating with the insurance companies ". Here's a thought, the victims of your criminal negligence are suffering, why not empty the collection plate, in the interim, to provide the victims of priest pedophilia/clergy cover up, while waiting on the insurance? The diocese is not poor. They transferred tens of millions in assets before filing for bankruptcy. The $ is there.
David Ford Dec 7, 2021 9:14am
hmmm...transactions, negotiations, bankruptcy, commissions, property sales, auction - sounds like a business all the way around to me. And it always has been with seriously loyal customers who are not inclined to think critically about the overall message(s) being peddled by this racket. Not a stock I would buy even as an IPO.
But it is curious that as a business you would have thought that the CEO, or at least the COO, would have been smart enough to negotiate a Pedophile rider on their insurance policy, you know for protection like any smart business....

China has outlined a greater role for its military in a bid to effectively secure growing interests overseas.
In a White Paper on defence released on Tuesday (May 26), it highlighted the seas as "critical" for the country's stability and development, adding to regional tensions over disputed waters in the South China Sea.
In the document, China reaffirms its adherence to peaceful development and its "active defence" military strategy. "We will not attack unless we are attacked, but we will surely counterattack if attacked," it states. "China will never seek hegemony or expansion."
Noting that the world's economic and strategic centres are shifting to the Asia-Pacific region, it highlights increasing challenges posed by certain countries, citing the growing US military presence in Asia and Japan's major adjustment in its security policies.
The paper notes that "some offshore neighbours take provocative actions and reinforce their military presence on China's reefs and islands that they have illegally occupied", presumably referring to Vietnam and the Philippines which have reportedly carried out land reclamation in the disputed South China Sea.
"It is thus a longstanding task for China to safeguard its maritime rights and interests."
a. Seas and oceans: This is important for China's stability and sustainable development. China places great importance on guarding maritime rights and interests, and protecting strategic sea lines of communication and overseas interests.
b. Cyberspace: China is facing "grave security threats" to its cyber infrastructure and has been a victim of hacker attacks. It will expedite the development of a cyber force to ensure network and information security, and participate in international cyber cooperation.
c. Nuclear force: Nuclear force is a strategic cornerstone for safeguarding national sovereignty and security. China will keep its capabilities at a "minimum level" required for maintaining security and will adhere to a self-defensive nuclear strategy.
d. Outer space: The first signs of weaponisation of outer space have appeared. China will secure its space assets to serve economic and social development, while maintaining outer space security.
The White Paper states that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) navy will add the duty of "open seas protection" to "offshore waters defence", while its air force will shift its focus from territorial air defence to both defence and offence.
"With the constant expansion of the maritime battlefield, it is no longer effective for national maritime safety to just concentrate on the defence of coastal waters," Senior PLA Colonel Wang Jin said at the launch of the White Paper.
The document states that the "traditional mentality that land outweighs sea must be abandoned". While it reiterates a long-held stance that China would continue to pursue a security policy that is defensive in nature, the White Paper hits out at foreign countries "busy meddling" in South China Sea affairs, and neighbouring nations that take "provocative" actions on China's reefs and islands.
Analysts say the White Paper underscores the growing confidence of China's modernising military force. In laying out its military strategy in the paper for the first time, Beijing can claim to be increasing the transparency of the PLA to the outside world, while warning off those deemed to have ill intentions towards the country.
"China now feels that the area it needs to defend has grown - and it is no longer held back by its military's limitations," says Dr Wang Xiangsui from Beihang University.
The military's budget has seen double-digit increases for years, as China seeks to modernise its forces. It added its first aircraft carrier in 2012 and is today the world's second-largest military spender, although it lags far behind the United States.
Now that China's forces are stronger, it is natural for it to increase its capabilities and area covered, says Dr Wang.
The White Paper also shows the Chinese military is more confident and assertive in its stance under President Xi Jinping, according to analyst Ni Le-xiong. While the document has been issued regularly since 1998 - mainly to deflect criticism that the PLA is not transparent - it is only under Mr Xi's leadership that the White Paper has taken a thematic approach and sought to give more details on specific issues.
The last report in 2013 was titled The Diversified Employment Of China's Armed Forces and gave details of military manpower numbers, while this year's report is called China's Military Strategy and purportedly sheds light on the issue for the first time.

Arbitrator Rules Against Ex-Raiders Coach Kiffin In Grievance
Filed Under:Al Davis, Football, Lane Kiffin, NFL, Oakland Raiders
USC Football Coach Lane Kiffin. (Harry How/Getty Images)USC Football Coach Lane Kiffin. (Harry How/Getty Images)
ALAMEDA (AP) — An NFL arbitrator has denied a grievance filed by former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin in an attempt to claim the lost salary he maintained he was still owed by the team.
Raiders executive John Herrera issued a statement to The Associated Press on Monday stating the ruling was an overwhelming victory for the Raiders.
In the statement, Herrera said the league stated that Kiffin showed "a stunning lack of concern" for the terms of his contract and for the rules of the club.
Kiffin was fired in September 2008 for cause because of what owner Al Davis described as acts of insubordination and lying by the coach.
Kiffin filed his grievance with the NFL in October 2008 to claim the lost salary he maintained he was still owed by the team for the remainder of his two-year contract.

Josh Duggar requests to be released on bail, claims he's not a flight risk
May 5, 2021 @ 8:00am
Washington County Sheriff's Office
Josh Duggar is requesting to be released on bail pending a trial for his child pornography case.
According to legal documents obtained by People, the former 19 Kids and Counting star is asking the court to "release him on bail subject to a combination of conditions of release that will reasonably assure his appearance at trial and the safety of the community or any other person."
The 33-year-old reality star argues that he's not a flight risk due to his "widely-recognizable face" and having "spent the majority of his life in the public spotlight — making any concern that he is a risk of flight all the more unwarranted."
He also claims that he needs to be home to help care for his pregnant wife, Anna Duggar, and their six children — 5-month old Maryella Hope, 3-year-old Mason Garrett, 5-year-old Meredith Grace, 7-year-old Marcus Anthony, 9-year-old Michael James, and 11-year-old Mackynzie Renée.
A detention hearing is currently scheduled for Wednesday.

« THE CRISIS IN MARKETING: ADVERTISER'S MISSING IN ACTION WHEN IT COMES TO MARKETING TO BABY BOOMERS | Main | USA TODAY: LOCATION-BASED CHECK-IN SERVICES GENERATED ONLY $43 MILLION IN ADVERTISING REVENUES IN 2010 »
TWITTER REPORTS IMPRESSIVE NUMBERS, GROWTH SKYROCKETS, AND THEY FINALLY SETTLE PRIVACY CASE WITH THE FTC
Twitter released substantial growth statistics Monday demonstrating the company's climb to the top. Although the metrics don't tie directly to the privacy settlement the Federal Trade Commission made final Friday, the exponential growth should defuse any thoughts advertisers might have about abandoning the service.
It all began on on March 21, 2006, when Twitter cofounder Jack Dorsey (@jack) sent the first tweet to invite others onto the service. The rest is history. On March 11, 2011, users sent 177 million tweets. It took 3 years, 2 months and 1 day from the first tweet to the billionth. Today, users send about 1 billion tweets per week.
Twitter's adverting service Promoted Tweets had 572,000 new accounts created March 12, 2011. The service hit 460,000 new accounts on average per day in February, and the service experienced a 182% increase in the number of mobile users during the past year.
Twitter now has 400 employees supporting services, up from 350 in January 2011, 130 in January 2010, 29 in January 2009, and 8 in January 2008.
The numbers provide transparency into the company's growth, pouring water on any smoke rising from the agreement with the FTC. Complaints of not doing enough to safeguard user privacy led Twitter to settle with the FTC. The breaches occurred between January and May 2009, when hackers gained access to administrative controls.
The settlement -- a 5 to 0 vote -- means the company must establish a stricter information security policy and have it audited every two years by an independent third party. Twitter will need to pick up the bill.
A note in the FTC release states that each violation could cost Twitter up to $16,000.
Twitter also got 20 years probation, barred from "misleading consumers about the extent to which it protects the security, privacy, and confidentiality of nonpublic consumer information, including the measures it takes to prevent unauthorized access to nonpublic information and honor the privacy choices made by consumers."
If the FTC legal jargon is a bit overwhelming, Joseph Rosenbaum, a Reed Smith partner, sums it up nicely. He outlines the ruling against Twitter and touches on social media privacy issues in general.
I take no prisoners, and take names. Here are the three culprits:
Twitter co-founders Evan Williams and Biz Stone and CEO Don Costolo
COMMENTARY: These privacy violations by social networks, app developers and social gamemakers are really starting to piss me off. It's business as usual. This is the reason why I no longer use Facebook. I use Twitter. It's the lesser of two worlds, I thought. I honestly believed that Biz, Evan and Don were honest people. That they would not use the private information about their users in their schemes to market their marketing services and make money. I don't mind that they advertise or make money, mind you. I hope they generate a lot of revenues in order to justify their lofty $10 billion valuation bestowed on them recently.

Why are pizzas round and fish sticks square?
"food design XL" analyzes how the design of foods is influenced by form, color, smell, consistency, chewing sounds, production technique, history and stories. More than a thousand times a year – before each meal – we cut, cook, stir or combine, that is to say deliberately change the edible gifts of nature. Our will to design food is what distinguishes us from all other living beings. Food design is thus nothing new but something the human race has been practicing for millennia.
This book traces the parameters constituting food design. Consumers expect food to be simple to produce and easy to transport, to fulfill various functions and to look good as well. "food design XL" makes the case for a discipline of design that has not received the attention it deserves to date.

The Rainbow Shines…
'A Shine of Rainbows' has recently been released in Canada and the USA.
Shot in Ireland in 2007, the movie tells the story of an orphan boy who finds a new life on a remote island where he comes to terms with his surroundings, the local folklore and learns the secrets of seals.
The production stars Aidan Quinn (Legends of the Fall, Benny and Joon, Stakeout), Connie Nielson (Gladiator, Devil's Advocate, One Hour Photo) and introduces John Bell as Tomas.
Featured in the film is Smudge, a fully anamatronic seal pup created at Neil Scanlan Studios and puppeteered by Brian Herring.
Neil's crew created and performed a pup so realistic that director Vic Sarin chose to use the anamatronic over any footage of real seals!
For more information on the movie click here. Look out for the UK release date.

York College for Girls
Nos.62-64 Low Petergate, York YO1 7HZ
Founded by the Church Schools Company, a pioneering Christian organisation for the education of women, York College for Girls was housed in a complex of historic buildings in Low Petergate from 1908 until it closed in 1997. Celebrated mezzo-soprano Dame Janet Baker was one of the school's most distinguished pupils. Following retirement from the stage, she became the first woman to be Chancellor of York University.
It was rare in Victorian England for women to benefit from an academic education. In general, they were taught by governesses or at "dame schools", if at all, and their skills were tailored towards raising a family and management of the home. Slowly, in the 19th century, opportunities for women began to improve. For the daughters of the privileged and those with progressive-minded parents, Cheltenham Ladies' College opened in 1853 and Roedean School in 1885. Cambridge University established the first colleges for women: Girton College in 1869 and Newnham in 1872; and, in 1879, Oxford followed with Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville College.
Education for women
The Church Schools Company (CSG) was founded in 1883 to educate young women based on Christian principles. In January 1884, Surbiton High School was the first school to be opened by CSG and this was followed by Guildford High School in 1888. York Church High School for Girls was founded by the charity in 1891 in Minster Yard where it remained until 1907. In 1908, the school reopened at 62 Low Petergate as York College for Girls, an independent fee-paying day school. From 1919 accommodation was provided for 30 boarders at St Helen's, Burton Grange in Clifton but this had closed by the 1930s.
CSG was renamed the United Church Schools Trust and now operates as United Learning owning and running 12 independent schools in England including Hull Collegiate and Lincoln Minster School. Taking advantage of the Government's Academies Programme, the Trust took the decision to expand into the public sector and, in addition to its portfolio of independent schools, it now runs more than 45 primary and secondary academies making it one of the largest educational charities in the UK. Although Christian principles remain at the core of United Learning's ethos, the schools welcome pupils of all faiths and the majority are now coeducational.
Nos.62 and 64 Low Petergate may seem unlikely premises for a Christian educational establishment as there were originally two alehouses on the site: the Talbot Inn and the Fox Inn. Only the rear of the Talbot existed when the school took occupation as the inn had been largely demolished and replaced with a Georgian mansion. The closure of the Fox Inn in 1955 allowed the construction of new school buildings in the 1960s accommodating the chapel, library, science labs, home economics room and classrooms. In 1981 the school expanded further down Petergate towards King's Square to house the music wing and additional classrooms and laboratories. The school closed its doors in 1997.

Eminent old girls
A number of eminent women attended the school including Dame Janet Baker (b.1933), the highly acclaimed mezzo-soprano, who was a pupil during the Second World War. She made her stage debut in 1956 at Oxford University and appeared at Glyndebourne that same year. Her debut at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden came 10 years later, in 1966. As well as becoming known for her leading roles in baroque and early Italian opera, she was closely associated with the operas of Benjamin Britten. Her final operatic appearance was at Glyndebourne in July 1982. She was Chancellor of York University from 1991 to 2004, awarded the CBE in 1970, became a Dame in 1976 and a Member of the Order of Companions of Honour in 1993.
Another notable pupil of the school, Margaret Mann Phillips (1906-1987), became an authority on Renaissance history and literature, in particular the Dutch scholar Desiderius Erasmus, and also wrote two books which give an insight into life in York in the interwar years. Margaret's father, the Revd Francis Mann, was rector of St Margaret's Church, Walmgate (now the Early Music Centre), 1909-29, and she was brought up in the rectory which now forms part of the Priory Hotel on Fulford Road. She won a scholarship to Somerville College, University of Oxford, graduating in 1928 with a first in French. Continuing her studies in Paris, she obtained a PhD from the University of Paris in 1934 and taught at the University of Bordeaux. In 1936 she became a fellow of Newnham College, University of Cambridge, lecturing in French until 1945.
Margaret married archaeologist Charles William Phillips in 1940 and, after taking some time away to raise her family, she returned to teaching in the 1950s. In 1964 she was appointed Reader in French at King's College, London. Whilst raising a family and pursuing an academic career, Margaret also found time to write two books about her childhood in York. Published in 1943, Within the City Wall, A Memoir of Childhood is a fictionalised autobiography of her early years in York and, recounting her time at school in Low Petergate, Willingly to School, Memories of York College for Girls, 1919-1924 was published posthumously in 1989.
The main school building is now a restaurant, La Vecchia Scuola, where there is a display of school memorabilia, and the section of the building incorporating the surviving rear of the Talbot Inn has been converted into residential accommodation.
Nos.62-64 Low Petergate
One of the most impressive Georgian townhouses on Low Petergate, No.62 was built c.1725 for John Shaw, Proctor of the Court at York, on part of the site occupied by the Talbot Inn in the 17th century. The house was subsequently rented by clock and watch maker Henry Hindley (1701-1771) who supplied clocks both to the Mansion House and York Minster. Hindley also made scientific instruments, inventing a screw-cutting lathe and a fuse-cutting engine. In 1739, he developed one of the first dividing instruments for graduating measuring instruments accurately. Examples of his clocks can be seen in the Castle Museum and in York Minster.
Dr Alexander Hunter (1729-1809), one of the founders of the York Lunatic Asylum in the 1770s, was the next occupant. He is thought to be the owner responsible for making improvements to the house, c.1770, enriching the street façade by adding a doorcase with Doric columns and pediment (the projecting porch incorporating the doorcase was added in the 19th century), a Doric triglyph frieze
The 18th century staircase
and pedimented dormer windows. Inside, the hall has a screen of two Corinthian columns leading to the well-preserved 18th-century staircase. Here is other evidence that these are Dr Hunter's improvements; on the ceiling above the staircase is a relief of Aesculapius, the Greek demi-god of medicine, with his rod entwined with a serpent – the international symbol for doctors – and his daughter, Hygieia, with a child. Dr Hunter would become embroiled in controversy due to the exposure of the harsh treatment of inmates at the York Asylum. This led to the establishment of the Retreat in York which adopted a more enlightened approach, providing a model for the care of the mentally ill which was adopted throughout the UK.
In addition to the projecting porch, more extensive alterations were made to the house in 1865-6. The wings on either side of the main street façade were rebuilt and the rear elevation was remodeled, incorporating corner turrets, by York architects J.B. & W. Atkinson. During the 1950s, as the school expanded into adjoining buildings, the firm of Brierley, Leckenby & Keighley was employed on a succession of projects. The façade of No.64 Low Petergate was reconstructed incorporating a timber arcade and new buildings were constructed to the rear including a chapel with stained glass by Harry Stammers. The chapel has now been demolished and Harry Stammers' glass can be seen in the undercroft of Merchant Adventurer's Hall.
Following the closure of the school, the condition of the buildings declined until the Malcolm Payne Group was commissioned by George Houlton & Son to design a mixed-use development which would realise the potential of the site. Some modern buildings were removed, opening up the courtyard, and the listed buildings restored. A large glass conservatory has been added to the main house, opening up the restaurant to the formal garden. The timber-framed rear elevation of the former Talbot Inn has been restored and the fine 17th-century staircase now leads to residential accommodation on the upper floors. In recognition of the quality of the conservation work and the new interventions, the project was awarded a York Design Award in 2007.

While the storm raged on outside, Steve and I sat with Todd in his shop fantasizing about the nicer flying weather to come. Steve's paramotor is nearly 100 percent back together and ready to fly. The motor has been freshly rebuilt at the Minari factory and a new coat of paint was applied to the frame at a friend 's body shop. Just one last part coming from California and this beautiful machine will be flying again.
Todd's shop also happens to contain a motorhead's dream, about 20 classic cars! I could have spent all day admiring the relics but I had some projects waiting for me in the hanger. So, back into the storm and back to the airport where I installed a new pilot seat on the tandem. The tests revealed that the pilot would end up leaning against the passenger during flight. This new backrest will remedy this issue.


Red River WDG is an inorganic, non-repellant, special local needs product, and is the first environmentally friendly termiticide for both above and below ground. By being an inorganic product, Red River WDG does not break down like conventional organic chemistries, and thus, it provides a stronger and more durable defense barrier to wood destroying pests.
Modes of Action: Subterranean Termites molt every 6 weeks, allowing their exoskeletons to become highly susceptible to Red River WDG's desiccating action. Also the active ingredient in Red River WDG causes a break down in subterranean termites' dendrite levels, thus, creating a disconnect within the nervous system.
Red River WDG withstands up to ¾ inches of water without any detriment to its effectiveness. Also it does not move laterally or vertically which allows up to a 5 day buffer between soil application and concrete pour. As for effectiveness, current U.S. Forest Service studies demonstrate a 98% efficacy, and Texas A7M has reported 100% efficacy against the troublesome Formosan Termite !

"Ewan McGregor" Sort by
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, after more than a decade since their last motorbike adventure around the world, will cover 13,000 miles over 100 days through 13 countries. Starting from the city of Ushuaia at the tip of South America, Ewan and Charley travel through the glorious and underexposed landscapes of South and Central America to Los Angeles in the United States in their most challenging expedition to date. In their journey they will use cutting-edge technology on the backs of their prototype electric Harley-Davidsons in order to contribute to the sustainability of the planet.
In the first episode, Ewan McGregor reunites with his best friend Charley Boorman to evaluate what's important in their lives, following a life-threatening accident of Charley.
Series: Long Way Up
Ewan, Charley, and the team land in Ushuaia, the southernmost tip of South America, but tensions arise due to snow and mechanical issues. Traveling 13000 miles over 100 days on electric bikes is hard to imagine. Ewan McGregor and Charles Boorman find out how challenging their mission is as they embark on a journey on prototype Harley Davidsons and the Rivian trucks. The first obstacle is electricity. While parts of the city have no problems with charging the bikes and the trucks, the countryside is where the duo face issues.
Narrated by Ewan McGregor, Humpback Whales is an extraordinary journey into the mysterious world of one of nature's most awe-inspiring marine mammals. Set in the spectacular waters of Alaska, Hawaii and the remote islands of Tonga, this ocean adventure offers audiences an up-close look at how these whales communicate, sing, feed, play and take care of their young. Humpbacks were nearly driven to extinction 50 years ago, but today are making a slow but remarkable recovery. Join a team of researchers as they unlock the secrets of the humpback and find out why humpbacks are the most acrobatic of all whales, why they sing their haunting songs, and why these intelligent 55-foot, 50-ton animals migrate up to 10,000 miles round-trip every year.
Oaxaca to LA
Ewan McGregor and Charley Bormann are very close to finishing their journey. Discussions on security are still on the agenda; they cannot travel at night due to dangerous cartels. They will need to do many miles on a bus with space for the bikes inside. The team manage to get the bikes on after concerns they wouldn't fit. Repairing and conditioning the bus is an achievement considering they did it in a few days.
Ewan and Charley get back on their bikes, and they head to their last border cross to enter the United States. After 12 hours in the border, the crew, Ewan and Charley make it to America. It's an easy stretch to L.A. on their bikes. Ewan, the crew and family, finish the last leg. It's done, they've managed to finish Long Way Up. It's such an achievement. Episode 11 is a heartfelt finale, showcasing the end of an incredible journey from both Ewan, Charley, and the team that supported them.
Episode 3 continues to show the obstacles faced with charging electric bikes in remote places, but Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman start to learn and evolve their process. The risk of cold temperatures is high but they bravely do it anyway. The duo is having a hard time of it out there but, thankfully, the scenery is absolutely stunning. Heading through Patagonia, Ewan and Charley stay at an eco-lodge in one of the world's remotest areas with people that live off the grid.

If you notice that a particular Cheap Trick CD release or compilation is missing from the list above, please submit that CD using the CD submission page. The ultimate goal is to make the discographies here at Heavy Harmonies as complete as possible. Even if it is an obscure greatest-hits or live compilation CD, we want to add it to the site. Please only submit official CD releases; no bootlegs or cassette-only or LP-only releases.
EPs and CD-singles from Cheap Trick are also welcome to be added, as long as they are at least 4 songs in length.

Caution! This is the greatest hits not the best of.These are the radio tunes that you heard in high school Trick is an outstanding band with a huge selection of albums. 25 years and going strong. if you want the best, try heaven tonight, budakon, music for hangovers or my favorite Cheap Trick 97. You will be happy you did!
From: tom Date: April 2, 2001 at 17:04
some bands just stick around no mather what..thats why i love cheap trick so much. rock n roll will never die as long bands like cheap trick stick around. tomcat@dolfijn.nl
From: Alfonso Date: July 9, 2001 at 23:52
This right line up is : Robin Zander (VC), Rick Nielsen (GTRS), Tom Peterson (B)and Bun E. Carlos (D). Cheap Trick is a great american typical hard pop rock band.
From: Obbop Date: July 21, 2001 at 11:44
Get this CD id only for the song I Want You to Want Me. It's the kinda' song you blast outta' the speakers while cruising down a country road on a sunny day. Wheeeee!!!!
From: Harvey Date: January 1, 2002 at 9:18
Jon is right. Trick are one of those bands who's "commercial" image belies there essence. Heaven Tonight, In Color, and Dream Police are classics as is the obligatory Budokan. However, try Cheap Trick (97) is an absolute ballbreaker. Full of humour, sleaze (sample lyric of 1st song "When you wanna cum, come over")Monster. Buy it. Why is there only one CT album on this site? They are the last great american hard rock band (since Aerosmith are now a pop band!!).
From: vics Date: January 11, 2003 at 9:41
the flame is "the song" on this album!
From: Gar Date: February 6, 2003 at 23:37
Great songs! Sure, this package just scrapes the surface of what Cheap Trick is all about, but one cannot deny the staying power of these tracks. They still sound fresh after all these years. Their AUTHORIZED GREATEST HITS cd offers a little bit more than this, but features many live and alternate versions of the songs. Both cds are highly recommended.
From: Fat Freddy Date: January 8, 2004 at 16:10
My two favorite Cheap Trick albums, ONE ON ONE and LIVE AT BUDOKAN, aren't listed here so I'll comment under this one as a catch all... Cheap Trick are a criminally ignored, phenomenally talented, fantastic band. In the 70s they took the catchiness of pop and mixed it with the heavy guitars of hard rock and punk, creating an irresistible formula. Many great songs are missing from this comp merely because they weren't "hits" but if you dig into their many albums you'll find tons of gems.
From: Blaster Date: March 11, 2004 at 5:01
All the songs here are generally decent, but its missing countless great songs, like "Southern Girls", "Stop This Game", and "He's A Whore". Get the Essential Cheap Trick, which includes those three and many more.
From: juan carlos Date: May 29, 2006 at 17:48
No soy muy fan de cheap trick pero este es una buena recopilación de sus mejores temas. los temas a partir de "surrender" son las que me gustan mas. Buenas canciones con un aire a AOR.
aire a AOR en las canciones mas tranquilas, por eso me gustan las últimas canciones, siempre aclarando. 8/10
From: Metalmusicman Date: January 7, 2007 at 13:42
Great way to get to know a killer rock band or a great way to have most of their best on one easy cd. Either way you can't loose with this excellent best of by one of rocks best bands. Now granted, this is not a true best of by any means, as many classics are missing. It is however still a best of, as not one bad song can be found here. It would just take at least two discs for a true best of. A worthy addition to any collection none the less!

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has called on the US presidential candidates to check their calendars following explosive comments by a top Republican contender Mitt Romney.
Saying that some of the statements coming out of the US elections debate "smell like Hollywood," Medvedev wished "at least two things" from the field of Republicans battling to challenge the Democratic incumbent, Barack Obama.
"I would urge all who lay claim to the chair of US president, not excluding the candidate you have mentioned, to do at least two things: first, use reasonable arguments while formulating your positions. Doing so won't hurt. And second, check your watches. It's 2012 now, not the mid-1970s," he said.
The war of words began during the nuclear security summit in Seoul, Korea, where Obama was overheard on a 'hot microphone' asking Medvedev to be patient on missile defense until after US presidential elections.
Romney pounced on the comment, playing up to perennial Republican fears of a militarily resurgent Russia obstructing US moves on the global chessboard.
He then criticized Russia for not siding with the United States in the UN Security Council, but rather with the "world's worst actors." The US recently expressed its displeasure over Russia's decision to veto a UN Security Council resolution on Syria. Moscow held to the position that the resolution made tough demands on the Syrian government, while failing to do the same for the militant opposition.
Medvedev warned that politicians are attempting to manipulate the European missile shield debate to pursue their own personal agenda.
"Missile defense is a political issue that various political forces are manipulating in order to pursue their own political interests, including interests connected with elections – parliamentary and presidential," the Russian president told reporters.
Medvedev said he supports Washington's willingness to continue its dialogue with Moscow on plans to build a missile defense shield in and around Europe.
"The American side demonstrated its willingness to continue it [the dialogue]. We wholeheartedly support it," he said.
The Russian leader added that there were no secrets regarding missile defense talks with the United States.
There are better and worse times for political decisions, he added.


Yes! I'm back. I have now finished my PGCE and I finally have the time to actually do something other than planning, marking and stressing. I've had a couple of weeks off, and I've also moved house. I now live in Swindon which, despite its poor reputation, is proving to be a good place to live. Everything is so close, buses are good and there is an ASDA on our doorstep. We go and play basketball in the evenings and spend nights lolling on the sofa watching Prison Break. We finished Prison Break last night though so we are at a bit of a loss. Any ideas?
But yes, I will try to do a bit more writing now. I am currently in the world of the unemployed and poor, but I did have an interview today for being a beauty consultant for Max Factor in the local Boots. I am confusing many people by the fact that I am a qualified teacher but I am going for something that pays £7.80 an hour. You can't buy time though, and the lower wage will hopefully come with more time for myself to pursue my other interests.
Well until I become employed my days will consist of the usual chores: unimaginable amounts of washing for a 2 person household, washing up, cooking and looking for jobs for hours on end. Hopefully I can now add blogging to this list, to perk myself and my day up. I have taken a couple of trips to town as well so I think I'll have to do a haul very soon (oops).
Until the next time. Thanks for reading my thoughts, lovelies.

Q: Start workflow when file is checked in I have a form created in InfoPath, that I would like to automatically start the workflow when the file is checked in. I have Sharepoint Designer, but I don't see the field for 'Checked in'.
There is a field under 'Field from source' that says 'Checked out to'. And do I start the workflow when the file is created? Can the workflow be triggered if a file is submitted?
Thanks!

A: This would be my approach...
1) First create an event receiver as given in below code. This code will make "Check In Comments" field mandatory. Check In Comment is the multi-line textbox that appear when you are trying to check-in a file in a library.
public class EventReceiver1 : SPItemEventReceiver
{
  public override void ItemCheckingIn(SPItemEventProperties properties)
  {
    base.ItemCheckingIn(properties);
    string comment =
    (string)properties.AfterProperties["vti_sourcecontrolcheckincomment"];

    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(comment))
    {
       properties.ErrorMessage = "Comment Empty";
       properties.Cancel = true;
    }
}
}

2) Download custom SPD Workflow Activity - Start Another Workflow and install it on SharePoint Server .
3) Create a workflow where you should a put a condition - Wait for Check In Comment to be not empty and just right after this condition insert the custom action Start Another Workflow.
In all you must create two workflows. One is your actual workflow and the other is the triggering workflow that contains step 3.
Hope this helps.

A: Check In Item
This action is initially displayed in a workflow step as Check in item in this list with comment: comment. Checks in an item that is checked out.
Following is an example of what the action might look like in a workflow step,
Check in item in Expense Reports with comment: Expense report approved
Note   You can only check in items from a document library.
using IF Condition trigger workflow Checkin Item.

D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray recently announced a new scholarship fund for graduates of D.C. high schools who come from low-income families and will be attending universities in the District.
Gray set aside $1.59 million in the District's fiscal year 2013 budget for the fund and has given $1.2 million to 185 students this year.
According to Lauralyn Lee, Georgetown's associate vice president of community engagement and strategic initiatives, the university is a firm supporter of this new program.
The scholarship was partially orchestrated by alumna Emily Durso, the assistant superintendent for postsecondary and career education at the Office of the State Superintendent, and provides $10,000 for students attending private schools, $7,000 for those attending the University of the District of Columbia and $3,000 for those enrolled in the city's community college.
In order to receive a scholarship, students must be in good academic and disciplinary standing in their high schools and come from families who are considered low income by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid.
The new scholarships come in addition to the D.C. Tuition Assistance Grant, which already provided $2,500 for local students attending private universities in the District.

The elevator arrived at his floor and stopped. Mark got out and hauled the violin in front of their hotel room. Standing on tiptoe he entered the code to unlock the room. As soon as the door was unlocked, he padded inside silently to check if his parents were home. After making sure that there was no one in the room, he hastily dragged the violin into Spark's room. Sighing happily, he went back to the receiving room and sat down on the comfortable sofa. He was relieved to find that Molly and Spark had not yet returned. He retrieved his hastily scribbled note and tore it into pieces and threw it in the trash. After that, he sat back down with a smile of satisfaction. He was feeling proud of himself for accomplishing the task that he had set out to do. Especially, without his dad and mom knowing that he left the hotel. What an accomplishment indeed!
Just as Mark was silently rejoicing, the news came on and the TV reporter was talking about Spark and Molly. Out of instinct, Mark paid attention to the news. He listened carefully to what the reporter said about his parents. His face gradually turned pale and his eyes widened in shock as he listened to the report of what has transpired last night. Shaking his head, he couldn't believe a word of what the TV reporter said about his parents.
Meanwhile, at Garden In The Air.
Spark was hugging Molly, who was crying like a baby with her face pressed tightly on his shoulder. In between sobs she asked, "What should I do, Spark? What am I supposed to do? I don't want to leave Mark. I can't bear to be separated from him. Please don't let that happen!"
Spark tightened his arms on Molly and clenched his teeth. At the very moment, there are no words that could comfort Molly and him for that matter!
was yet unknown to the public. Today's breaking news was about the court summons sent to Molly and Spark, indicating that the child's real father was making a move for custody. The court would open a session for this case three days from now.
The entertainment industry was agog to find out the truth about Molly's love child. There was a kaleidoscope of rumors floating around the grapevine regarding the kid's biological father. At the same time, two versions of the relationship between Molly and Spark were widely accepted by the public. The first one being that when Spark became Molly's boyfriend, he was aware that Molly had a son whose father was not him. However, due to Spark's deep love for Molly, he accepted the boy heartily and even gave him his name. The other version was simple, namely, Spark was cuckolded by Molly!
The blockbuster news hit the public like a thunder from the clear sky. And now, the whole city is abuzz waiting for the next newsflash!
Although there was a multitude of conjectures about who the biological father of this kid was, only the people who had lived in A City for the last four years were bound to know the truth… Who Mark's real father was!
