Announcement ID:
20th Annual Japan Studies Association Conference
2-4 January 2014, Honolulu, Hawai'i
Proposal deadline: 10 October 2013
Notifications of acceptance: 17 October 2013
At its annual conference in Honolulu, Hawai'i in 2014, the Japan Studies Association will mark its twentieth anniversary.
Established in San Diego in the spring of 1994, the JSA has assisted its members – primarily teachers from American two- and four-year colleges and universities – in acquiring first-hand knowledge about Japan and infusing it into the curriculum. Through workshops and study-tours, and the professional networking they enable, JSA's members have been inspired to engage in curriculum development, design study-abroad programs, and initiate Japan-focused or comparative research; members share their insights through the Japan Studies Association Journal and the
organization's annual national conference.
Please join us at Hawai'i Tokai International College in Honolulu in January 2014 to celebrate twenty years of JSA's achievements, reconnect with Freeman workshop alumni and share your continuous and new pedagogical and research interests in Japan's literary and cultural traditions, historical and economic developments, socio-political and religious practices past and present. We invite proposals for individual presentations, discipline-specific or interdisciplinary panels, roundtables on pedagogy and teaching innovation, and staged readings from both faculty and graduate students. The following ideas can serve as useful points of departure:
* Historical, social, economic or political perspectives on Japan's relationships with its national or regional self, minorities and neighbors in East Asia;
* post-3.11 Japan – healing and continuous challenges; anti-nuclear activism; sustainability development trends and issues;
* Imaging disaster – responding to adversity and war through political and religious narrative and discourse, the fine and performing arts, popular culture, literature and film;
* Youth and popular culture in Japan; manga and anime at home and abroad;
* Pre-modern, modern or contemporary Japanese literature and culture, music, theatre, film;
* Tradition and innovation in Japanese philosophy, aesthetics and material culture;
* Japan's religious traditions, sacred texts, art and architecture;
* Pedagogy, field trips and study tours: teaching Japanese language and culture – reflections and strategies, hurdles and achievements;
* Infusing Japanese Studies into the undergraduate curriculum – successful course and program development, faculty collaboration and ways to engage with institutional core goals;
* New voices in Japanese Studies: graduate student research;
* Plenary discussion of a Japanese literary, historical or theoretical text: suggestions solicited.
We encourage both east-west and inter-Asian comparative approaches and would particularly welcome contributions by graduate students and by alumni of JSA's Freeman Foundation intensive workshops on Japan held between 2002 and 2013. Please contact colleagues with whom you share pedagogical and research interests and form a panel or a roundtable; this ensures engaging presentations and follow-up discussions.
Annually, JSA offers up to three graduate student scholarships, $500 each. To be eligible, students must be enrolled full time in a graduate program in any content area related to Japan and must have a paper accepted for the 2014 conference. Please submit a complete copy of your paper, making sure that "graduate student" appears clearly on its first page. The successful applicants will be notified in October when acceptance letters are sent out to all conference participants.
To send an abstract for an individual presentation of approximately 250 words or a 500-word proposal for a themed panel, roundtable or staged reading, go to: http://www.japanstudies.org/proposals.html Make sure you include the names, institutional affiliation and contact information of all presenters. We hope to see you in Honolulu in January!
The deadline for proposals is 10 October 2013.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 17 October 2013.

It really doesn't seem like gourmet cooking: putting food in a plastic bag and dropping it in hot water. But sous vide cooking (that's what it's called) is catching on more and more at better kitchens.
Flavors are locked in, the food becomes more tender, and it can't overcook.
"Think of it as little individual crock pots floating around in a tank," said Micah Windham, chef at Pele's Wood Fire.
Sous vide has been part of Pele's since it opened a little more than a year ago in Riverside.
Windham braises ox tails, poaches eggs for Eggs Benedict.
Over at the Grotto in San Marco, Scott Houser cooks his filet
mignon sous vide. That's right, filet mignon dropped into a plastic bag and into the water. Of course, he does sear it in a hot pan before it's served.
"It breaks everything down and makes it more tender," Houser said. "And you know how a carrot tastes when its fresh? That's how it tastes with sous vide."
The idea is that all the flavor is locked in, none escapes in the cooking.
"Garlic and rosemary may make a kitchen smell great," Windham said, "but all those aromatics are lost flavor."
Although the idea of sous vide itself reportedly goes back a couple of hundred years, it's really only in the last decade or so that it's really caught on.
"It's definitely not classic technique," Houser said. "And a lot of chefs think it's cheating. But it's just a new style of cooking."
The food is vacuum sealed in a plastic bag before going in the water. In addition to removing the air and therefore any barrier between food and heat, the vacuum opens the food's cells to absorb seasonings and marinades.
But Houser warned about putting too much seasoning in, because the process intensifies everything. Two cloves of garlic would ruin a filet, he said.
Both Windham and Houser use sous vide immersion circulators set into metal pots or plastic tubs. The devices keep the exact temperature and circulate the water.
Houser got started with sous vide by reading Thomas Keller's book "Under Pressure." And he's followed it with a lot of experimentation.
He's done a lot of meats, seafood and vegetables. He recently cooked lobster tails sous vide, just adding a bit of butter.
Scallops came out too mushy, he said, and he won't sous vide fish.
"I just like pan-seared fish," he said. "It's quick and it has great texture."
One big advantage that sous vide has over traditional methods is that you can't overcook meat.
Houser, for example, cooks his beef fillets at 129.5 degrees for about two hours. That's at the lower edge for medium rare. But if he leaves it in longer than two hours, it won't get any more done because the temperature won't rise above 129.5.
"They'll be good all night," he said.
He cooks carrots he serves with the filet at 195 degrees for 10 minutes, then follows with a quick ice bath to stop the cooking.
Houser also cooked this Thanksgiving turkey at home using sous vide. He broke it down, cooking the white and dark meat separately. For the crisp skin, he gave the cooked bird a quick coat of oil and seven minutes in the 450-degree oven.
Chef Grant Achatz has several YouTube videos on how to sous vide a turkey at home that Windham recommended.
Because it's a relatively new technique, it's still being fine-tuned.
Windham, for example, thinks that too many chefs cook at too low a temperature. He uses anywhere from 141 to 198.
Oxtails, for example, cook for nine hours at 165, "and they come out like butter," he said.
Generally, anything braises well in sous vide, he said.
"And curries love sous vide more than anything," Windham said. "If we were an Indian restaurant, that would be most of what we do."
There are home units for sale, and Windham suggested reading the instructions very carefully and using the right temperatures.
"If you cook chicken at 120 degrees for eight hours, nothing good is going to happen," Windham said. "You have to get to 165 to kill salmonella."

Scouting Comments:
"He was one of the top-3 goalies on our list. We had him ranked very high. He's a player that our goalie coach Dave Alexander from Syracuse went to work with him a couple weeks ago at Hockey Canada's goalie camp, he's one of the goalies invited to Canada's World Junior Team - one of four goalkeepers. Had a tremendous season in Kamloops, gave them a chance to win every night and Dave was very complimentary coming out of the goalie camp about Ingram, and confirmed a lot of things that we've seen in him." -- Lightning Director of Amateur Scouting Al Murray

"A big-bodied winger, a good skater, a little better skater than Boris (Katchouk), a little better than Boris, not as much bang as Boris. Two different guys. Plays for a very good team in Erie -- had two real good lines. [Re: Playing with Strome and Debrincat] Taylor can think and play at the level of the top players in junior hockey and we have hopes for him going forward." -- Lightning Director of Amateur Scouting Al Murray.

Fifth Round, 148th Overall, C Christopher PaquetteSubmitted by timothy on June 25, 2016 - 14:50
Name: Christopher Paquette
Position: Center
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 174 lbs.
Shoots: Right
Birthdate: 27 MAR 98
Club: Niagra (OHL)
Niagra (OHL), 57 GP, 5-11-16, 18 PIM
Scouting Comments:
"He was on a really strong team this year. Niagara probably gave London their best battle all year long and played them in the OHL finals. Niagara went to win the OHL this year so they loaded up, and if you looked at their lineup it was almost all drafted players – I think they had somewhere between 12-14 NHL-drafted players so [Christopher] got knocked down the roster and played on the fourth line for the most part. We think he's got an upside like Anthony Cirelli. Anthony started on the fourth line with Oshawa and gradually worked his way up to the second line and then this year was their first line center. Well, next year most of those guys on Niagara are going to graduate and [Christopher] is going to go up the depth chart, so we're expecting him to be on the first or second line next year and get the chance to show the offensive ability that he wasn't able to show this year. He was a high pick in the OHL draft, plays a 2-way game, good size, good skater, good attention to detail at all ends of the ice and we think he's got offensive upside that he hasn't been able to show yet." -- Lightning Director of Amateur Scouting Al Murray

Second Round, 37th Overall, D Libor HajekSubmitted by timothy on June 25, 2016 - 14:30

Weight: 196 lbs.
Shoots: Left
Birthdate: 04 FEB 98
Club: Saskatoon (WHL)
Saskatoon (WHL), 69 GP, 3-23-26, 76 PIM
Scouting Comments:
"He's a bigger body, a very solid two-way player ... Libor Hajek was a 'safer bet' to be able to adapt both offensively and defensively to NHL than DeAngelo ... You watch Libor Hajek play on a really weak Saskatoon team and he just plays as hard as he can every shift all night long and his coach, who has just left the team to take an assistant position in Buffalo, couldn't say enough good things about him through the course of the year. On a weak team, he showed up and competed hard against the best players in the league every night when he could have folded his tent." - Lightning Director of Amateur Scouting Al Murray

Seventh Round, 206th Overall, C Otto SomppiSubmitted by timothy on June 25, 2016 - 14:02
Name: Otto Somppi
Position: Center
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 183 lbs.
Shoots: Left
Birthdate: 12 JAN 98
Club: Halifax (QMJHL)
Halifax (QMJHL), 59 GP, 13-33-46, 25 PIM
Scouting Comments:
"Otto Somppi came in from Finland and played on the Finnish Ivan Hlinka team and at the end of the year played with the Finnish U-18 team that won the championship. Otto's played most of the season with a banged-up shoulder, so he had a shoulder brace on and he played on a very weak Halifax team. Once they traded Timo Meier they really had nobody to play with him so Otto persevered, worked hard through the season, battled through the shoulder situation, then went with Finland and played on the first line with [Jesse] Puljujarvi and [Janne] Kuokkanen. He played part of it at center and part of it at wing and was on the first line on the championship team with Finland. We have high hopes for Otto and part of the reason he didn't get selected was the shoulder situation and the team that he was on, so that helps us – good news for us and it'll make him a better person and player going forward." -- Lightning Director of Amateur Scouting Al Murray

First Round, 27th Overall, C Brett HowdenSubmitted by timothy on June 24, 2016 - 23:55
Name: Brett Howden
Position: Center
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 192 lbs.
Shoots: Left
Birthdate: 29 MAR 98
Club: Moose Jaw (WHL)
Moose Jaw (WHL), 68 GP, 24-40-64, -7, 61 PIM; Playoffs: 10 GP, 4-11-15, 4 PIM
Scouting Comments:
Consensus is that he projects to be a smart, dependable, two-way player that is safe bet to make the NHL and play with some jam and in all game situations. Work ethic and dedication to improvement is off the charts, and heralded as a great teammate with commitment to winning.

Women's Rowing
Sept. 17, 2009
San Diego, Calif. - As the school year begins, Coach Kimberly Cupini welcomes twelve freshmen and Transfer athletes to the Varsity team.
"I'm very excited about the enthusiasm and focus our freshman have displayed thus far," said Cupini. "They've come from a variety of programs and have a great deal of racing experience. I'm anxious to see them in action."
Lindsey Dornes has begun her collegiate rowing career in Southern California after training with Sammamish Rowing Association in Washington State. As a junior rower, her height and athleticism allowed Lindsey to quickly progress to the Varsity Squad within her first year of rowing. She celebrated such success with Sammamish as silver medal in the Jv8+ at the NW Junior Regional Championship Regatta in Canada.
Cassalynn Gannon is the second Xavier College Preparatory rower to join the varsity squad. Her four years of rowing experience in Tempe, Arizona have prepared Cassie well for the focus and dedication needed to be successful at the Varsity level. Cassie has been very involved in community service in her hometown and will likely continue that trend with the many opportunities here at USD.
Also from Northern California, Anne Lewis joins the Toreros from NorCal Crew. During her novice year of rowing, Anne was invited as the alternate for the lightweight 8+ at the Junior National Championships in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2008. She competed throughout her senior year in the JV8+ and lightweight 4+. As a Biology major at USD, Anne has begun the pre-med track to eventually progress to Medical School.
Alexandra "Lexi" McColl joins the Toreros from St. Michaels University School in Victoria British Colombia. During the 2009 season, Lexi took gold in the quad at the Canadian Secondary School Rowing Association Championships. She was also champion in the 8+ at the prestigious Brentwood Regatta.
Lisa O'Toole comes to USD as a transfer student from Orange Coast College. She has just concluded her two years with the program and has had success at regattas across the country such as the Dad Vail Regatta. She is now continuing her rowing career as a Torero while majoring in Political Science.
Kate Reid has resumed her training with USD after winning a National Championship at the 2009 Junior National Championships in the lightweight 8+ with the Los Gatos Rowing Club. Kate has been a part of many undefeated crews and has a great deal of racing experience to enhance this year's varsity program.
Julia Rine joins the Toreros from Stockton, CA. She is a former competitor for Delta Blades Rowing Club. During her time there, Julia attended US Junior National Development Camp in 2007. She has shown her strength as a sweep rower as well as a sculler winning bronze in 4x at US Club Nationals in 2007.
Lauren Rollins has just concluded her rowing career at the nationally recognized Marin Rowing Association. As a four-year competitor with MRA, Lauren stroked several boats to victory in both sweep and sculling events. She appeared at the 2009 Junior National Championship in the lightweight double. Her drive and passion for the sport of rowing has already been demonstrated during practice sessions.
Kaitlin Soper comes to San Diego from Merion Mercy Academy in Merion Station, PA. Her experience as a coxswain on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia has prepared herself well as she begins her collegiate rowing career on the west coast. She is also participating in the ROTC program at USD.
Samantha Barry, Mar-Lynn "Marlie" Long and Shea Abbott are out-of-sport athletes who've taken camps or have water sport experience that has given them an edge over USD's walk-on team. They're hitting the ground running in the weight room and during land training to quickly excel on the water.
"I'm so excited to be part of such a competitive program," says freshman Lauren Rollins. "This team is dedicated and hungry for power and speed."
The Torero Varsity squad returns to the water in October to prepare for their fall season. Racing kicks off for San Diego at the Head of the American on October 24, 2009 in Northern California.

workut routine for boxing?
i want to workout twice a week as boxing on the other days is intense, so twice a week seems reasonable without overtraining.plus itll give me enough time to recover for boxing days.
what im confused on is what program to use. does anyone know what i could do for strength training twice a week?

Do you mean you want a strength programme with Boxing on seperate days? Good idea I think but I would go with 3 days Boxing and two days on strenght/cardio if that is possible.
On the Strength days, focus on Triceps, Traps, Abs and most importantly legs. Try and replicate the intensity of Boxing in your cardio as well.

A Great project needs a great team: Florian Finke, Fabian Sax, Gunnar Menzel, Nikolas Weström and Jan Weigl. The great challenge:
Create a content-rich company website not only applying state-of-the-art technology much rather to be at the cutting edge. Still love the special task to manage how code-based animations work without FLASH but with the knowledge of a century FLASHback. Directing all movies this website contains: employee interview movies, project movies and the "TRIAD in 90 seconds"-movie with special thanks to Conrad Ostwald. Therefore creating an On Air Design Package to keep things branded outside of the website. Check the website on your mobile devices and don´t be surprised. Yes, it does looks similar, it´s the same code. And the same animation, but slightly different. The magic of non-pre-rendered frames.
10435 Berlin
+ 49 (0) 170 344 56 92
welcome to my personal portfolio.
For a closer look at my latest endeavours, check out the showreel and selected works below. For the past 13 years, my freelance existence had me flitting between creative conceptual design, project supervising, motion design in After Effects, video editing as well as programming code in Flash. Hopelessly addicted to smart equivalent storytelling concepts, keyframes, milestones and music, I am always on the lookout for interesting projects and collaborations. Feel free to contact me for shared thoughts.
10.2014TRIAD - Corporate Website / Corporate Motion
A Great project needs a great team: Florian Finke, Fabian Sax, Gunnar Menzel, Nikolas Weström and Jan Weigl. The great challenge:
03.2013T-Systems - CeBit 2013 - Zero Distance
The success of last year´s Cloud 7.0 installation lead us to logical continuation: the honorable assignment to create this year´s T-Systems CeBit 2013 entire booth. Having future gesture interfaces of movies like Minority Report and Iron Man in mind. Audience catching "Zero Distance Windows" were created with After Effects Animation and vvvv and Flash programming to accomplish an always wanted interactive motion tracking interface for two moderators to interact and communicate with each other. Geographical distance but feels like being only one glass panel from each other apart. 16 x 55" panels, 6 micro cams, 6 kinects, 12 multitouch tables, 50 tablets, 6 makerbot 3D printer guides us to 285.000 visitors, 60% more leads and 30% longer consulting services.
Thanks again to zweimaleins for the yearly trust in my Creative Direction guiding over 50 employees to accomplish this goal. And special thanks to Marcel Kussel for following me into the future with this amazing sound design.
Check out the zweimaleins documentation video for a deeper insight.
10.2012Audemars Piquet - Royal Oak Offshore Michael Schumacher - Kraftwerk Projection Mapping
This Large-scale 20 x 18 m Projection Mapping project transforms the rough industrial Kraftwerk building in Berlin for the International Launch of Audemars Piquet´s Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Michael Schumacher Limited Edition.
Featuring mechanic and design details the watch was brought to life through spell-binding animations. A classic story-telling about two worlds, watchmaking and car racing - all underlined by precisely synchronized sound design and a cinematic score. Many thanks to Jan Weigl for the detailed ears and eyes on my keyframe positions and pushing the highlights perfectly. The projection was supported by a custom light concept carefully underlining the key moments during the video's dramaturgy.
Check out the movie. It starts with the documentation video. Followed by the full video to experience the animations playing pong pong with the sound design. Don´t watch and drive!
06.2012Mr. Brown Entertainment - Logo Ident (4K cinema)
The new logo ident for Til Schweiger´s film production Mr. Brown Entertainment. The briefing: handcrafted filmmaking. The animation concept has to be exactly like this: Shot in my studio with a Canon EOS middle class in image sequence mode for future cinema 4K resolution. Ink on transparent paper, pour water over the fresh printed ink = handcrafted liquify effect. A lot of ink was used for this production.
Many thanks to Marcel Kussel for his sense of flow within this short 15 seconds and especially for the handcrafted distortion guitar!
02.2012T-Systems - CeBit 2012 - Cloud 7.0 Installation
An interactive installation for T-Systems. The challenge: Showcase their 7 years cloud computing innovations in a seamless year-to-year storyline and sophisticated animation flow. Going far beyond high definition. This project needed 13 x full HD resolution. Based on the success of the first launch it got showcased twice: At first with projector-mirrored-based at an T-Systems event and secondly at the Cebit 2012 with a technical setup of 39 multiscreens. Calculate these hardware dimensions to pixels and we can count up to 25.000 pixels. And I do love every single one of them.
Many thanks to zweimaleins and artifical duck for the trust in my Creative Direction and Marcel Kussel for his believe in my vision for the sound design. It was very interesting to see this project on TV in the Tagesschau as the visual highlight of the Cebit 2012 TV article.
08.2012Volksbühne Berlin - Interactive html5 Movie "Tuk Tuk"
A traffic chaos movie while riding a Tuk Tuk in India showing its key moments in combination with the highlights of the Volksbühne Berlin program. This is not Flash, it´s a html5 interactive video. Many thanks to Natascha Becker for applying her magic programming skills and to convince me that Adobe Edge isn´t replacing Flash yet. Maybe soon.
12.2011Barclays - German Deposits - "Klartext zum Tagesgeld"
"Klartext zum Tagesgeld". A movie introducing the new german deposits from barclays. Many thanks to Silke Springe for the sound design.
03.2011Audi - Q3 Website - Introduction Movie
A Motion Design contribution to the Audi Q3 Website. An dedicated introduction: An idea born from new expectations. Check out the website.
02.2011Audi - Efficiency - YouTube Viral
Help her to find the tank! Choose one of four options. See what´s happening on youTube. Starring FC Bayern and more. Programming by brother Duc Thien Bui.
09.2010Leica - D-LUX 5 - Inspiration demands creative flexibility
Motion Design for a Leica campaign film. I love Berlin and so do Leica. Shown at the Photokina fair and on the product website. Special thanks to Sound Artist Owen Lloyd. It´s always a pleasure to work with you.
12.2009ACHT FRANKFURT - Corporate Website Relaunch
The relaunch of ACHT FRANKFURT´s award winning website. The next generation of the dynamic showreel concept. In todays high definition quality. Supplemented by a slim, easy-to-use CMS backend, the system automatically adds each newly uploaded spot to the showreel published online. Check out the different PLAYLISTS with high quality works of ACHT FRANKFURT and the section ABOUT with an equivalent interface logic. Thanks to the great team in Berlin: Jenny Fitz and Duc Thien Bui.
07.2008Nord Stream - Clean Energy for Europe
Full HD motion production for an interactive terminal installation displayed on a huge 65" plasma screen. When you work in these dimensions, there is no excuse for cutting corners such as "nobody will notice this tiny fleck anyway. My contribution to the project involved devising the visual multi-frame concept, After Effects compositing, final merging of the individual audio and video assets as well as supervision of the 3D operators to bring the information graphics to life. For a closer peek at this large-scale project, check out the online version.
04.2008Mercedes-Benz - Flash Ads
A compilation of several interactive flash animations for the Mercedes-Benz GLK- and B-Class advertising campaigns. Limited to exactly 30 kilobytes per file, the Flash ad format calls for a very precise approach. Each fraction counts and requires a tightrope walk between great design and tweaking keyframes to save yet another kilobyte. The true mystery: Why are the resulting ads always exactly 29.9 kilobytes?
11.2007Shanghai DGM - Backpapier
The task: To create an invitation concept for Shanghai DGM's annual Christmas bash that would not only demonstrate the agency's knack for integrated campaigns but also introduce clients to their new interactive department.
Based on the event's overall theme – baking cookies for charity – and bridging the gap between print and online, the resulting invitation emphasises the event's hands-on and interactive focus. Printed on parchment and rolled up to resemble store-bought baking paper, the physical invite only serves as a teaser, revealing just a few letters of the entire message.
To find out more, guests were encouraged to visit a dedicated website, then line up their transparent clue with the onscreen equivalent. By superimposing the material and the digital realm, they would unlock the true message and receive their password for the actual event (see video). The biggest challenge? Devising a calibration method suitable for all screen sizes and solutions. Check out the website for a closer look.
10.2007Audi - metroproject quattro
Motion Design for Audi's new design study 'metroproject quattro'. This trailer was released parallel to the launch of Audi's new concept car at the 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. For a closer look at the car, check out the website.
09.2007Audi - A4 Drive Assistance Systems
A small contribution to the Audi A4 website. This movie introduces the Audi A4 drive assistance systems. The development of the motor industry is going at hyper speed. Don't you associate terms like 'adaptive cruise control', 'automatic distance', 'lane assist' to spaceships?
05.2007COCA-COLA - Faithless - Aluminium Music Bottle
A follow-up to their wildly successful 'them 5' website, featuring bottle designs by MK12, LOBO and The Designer's Republic, among others, Coca-Cola decided to give its special edition aluminium bottle campaign a new lease of life. A collaboration between Paranoid (design) and Faithless (music), the resulting short movie introduced us to 'Mr. Néant', an ambassador for the 'Coke side of life' who infuses everything he touches with a positive twist.
Truly interactive, our playful website encourages users to make the most of their input devices (keyboard, mouse, microphone and webcam) to create their very own bottle design – under the able guidance of Mr. Néant.
My contribution to the project: all motion direction, flash compositing, merging of assets and supervision of two 3D operators as well as the seamless and invisible mix of PNG frame-by-frame animations, FLV clips, vector frame-by-frames and Flash tweens.
07.2006Motor TV - On Air Design
Best known for heading a string of successful music labels in Germany, Tim Renner's latest endeavour and label spin-off, Motor FM, has already left its mark on the capital's musical landscape. All set to conquer the visual realm, Motor recently entered into collaboration with IPTV experts I-D Media to launch their very own TV station. Entirely ad (and ring tone) free, this revolutionary concept features nothing but unadulterated music and user-generated content.
Pre-launch, I-D Media asked me to come up with a fresh on-air design, a number of station IDs as well as two imagetrailers. Building on the station's premise of straightforward, gritty purity that sets it apart from contemporary rivals like VIVA or MTV, I ditched sketchpad and mouse for hands-on, old school DIY – no key frames, no polish and straight from the garage with love.
A new take on basic model building, our small team experimented with chopped-up paper printouts and filmed our makeshift masterpieces with the cheapest of camera's in the agency's basement. The resulting low-key stop-motion animation swaps sophisticated plug-ins for scissor, glue, cardboard, oil, air spray, pins and fishing line – and looks all the better for it.
06.2006Mercedes-Benz - Sound Of Summer
04.2006see conference - Interactive Visuals
At their very first self-initiated conference, Scholz & Volkmer impressed with a carefully selected roster of renowned guest speakers, including Joachim Sauter from ART+COM, audiovisual artist and musician Carsten Nicolai, architect Holger Hoffmann of UN Studio van Berkel & Bos and Casey Reas, software artist and initiator of ,Processing'. (http://www.see-conference.org).
Against this illustrious setting, Jenny Fitz and I were asked to provide the backdrop visuals displayed behind the speakers. To this end, we built a dedicated, interactive Flash application that would give its operator subtle and invisible switching capabilities to control the timetable agenda. Check out the captured video for a few extracts. Incidentally, Jenny Fitz also designed the conference's flyer, posters and print materials. The entire project won the Corporate Design Award 2007.
12.2005MTV Networks / Nickelodeon Germany - Alles Nick! - On Air Packaging Design
Back in the days, working for MTV seemed like a dream come true. After relocating to Berlin, I found myself a lot closer to this childhood aspiration. My first point of call: a concept for the launch of kid's channel NICK Germany, in collaboration with designer Jenny Fitz and Berlin-based agency gosub. And as one job leads to another, we soon moved on to the packaging design for Nick On Air. Although our input encompassed the entire package of on-air visuals (opener, closer, wipes, channel ident), all animation and compositing took place in Flash, requiring only a final export to a TV-friendly PNG sequence.
For a closer look, take a look at this short compilation or turn to the next project featuring five different packaging designs.
11.2005MTV Networks Germany/ Nickelodeon Germany - 5 x Tipp - On Air Packaging Design
10.2005Getty Images - Less Rain - 10 ways
This is one of my all-time favourites – for one of Germany's most creative talent forges, Less Rain. Together with the agency's own Lars Eberle I devised a creative web special for famous stock image heavyweights Getty Images. A particular honour, they commissioned only a select few web-savvy creatives like Tomato or The Barbarian Group to create 10 interactive works of art in 10 image-related categories ranging from 'light' and 'information' to 'emotion' and 'space', with full access to the huge wealth of exceptional pictures dormant in the vaults of Getty Images.
Assigned the sections 'colour' and 'truth', we decided to bring those still images back to life. For 'colour', I explored the effects of animating just the tiniest of details, a few pixels at most. To this end, users can pick a colour from the image and feed it to the hungry pixels where every shade triggers a different movement, lively or plodding, alert or subdued. For a sporting touch, some images require just the right colour to carry on. Enjoy this pixel-soaked adventure - and expect a rewarding surprise!
08.2005Sega Japan - Ryu ga Gotoku - PS2
Motion Design for the SEGA Japan Playstation 2 game 'Ryu ga Gotoku'. This was my very first job for Less Rain, in collaboration with Flash Programmer André Michelle.
The dark, visually stylish game is a more mature, adult-oriented adventure set in modern day Tokyo´s Yakuza scene. The website complements the game by letting the user examine a naked body covered in full by Japanese Yakuza tattoos. Parts of the tattoos link to game specific content such as screenshots, stories, and 'making of' movies.
12.2004Grey - Corporate Website
09.2004Scholz & Volkmer - ZEHN - Installation Concept
As part of their tenth anniversary celebrations, Wiesbaden agency Scholz & Volkmer commissioned an interactive installation with web cams and position tracking. Trailing all party guests over four separate locations, the installation relies on split screen visuals and incorporates characteristics submitted by the guests at registration, e. g. 'tea or coffee', 'vegetarian' or 'age bracket'.
With plenty of leeway for unusual combinations, the resulting screens made for interesting viewing. All guys at the bar and ladies on the dancefloor? A carnivore surrounded by vegetarians? The position tracking technology was supplied by mika timing whose ChampionChip system usually helps to track runner times at marathons.
Due to other commitments, I had to abandon the project at the rough concept stage. Thanks to Samuel Ruckstuhl und Mario Dold for the finishing.
08.2004ACHT FRANKFURT - Sommerfest - MIDI controlled Flash VJ Set
Visuals for ACHT FRANKFURT's annual summer party. At the time, I was toying with the concept for a dedicated VJ tool, a flash based application that would react to the music and allow for additional live control. The combination of VLIGHT.CTRL and a KORG microKONTROL MIDI Controller provided me with plenty of options for parameters like colour, size and other visual aspects.
For a more personal touch, I created visuals of all the guests' names, tracking their progress through flirting, drinking, chatting and dancing, then tweaking, scaling and shading these markers in time to the music. So, the busier the party, the more colourful and intricate the visuals became! Check out the embedded movie for some digicam clips of the party and a live video capture of the application's output.

12.2003ACHT FRANKFURT - Dynamic Showreel - Corporate Website
My graduate project – and a secret favourite. Most post production portfolios come as DVD showreels of selected video clips. A tried and tested formula, but also a problem when new projects are added to the mix. To avoid the time and expense of constant re-editing, we developed a more interactive and readily updateable online medium – the dynamic showreel website.
Supplemented by a slim, easy-to-use CMS backend, the system automatically adds each newly uploaded spot to the showreel published online. For extra flexibility, the website's 'client login' feature enables the lightning-speed creation of customised showreels. Once selected from the pool of clips in the CMS, the dynamic website creates a dedicated mirror featuring the new showreel tailored to a prospective client's interests, and all this without any further editing or separate mailout.
Winner of 13 awards, including the Grand Prix at the Golden Awards of Montreux Swiss and a Bronze Cyber Lion at Cannes, this project would not have been possible without the kind support of Scholz & Volkmer CD Heike Brockmann, designer Jenny Fitz and CMS wizard Manfred Kraft.
07.2003Mercedes-Benz - 7 Years Later - Concept
Frequently compared to David Lynch's mesmerising movies and storytelling techniques, this interactive online movie for Mercedes-Benz allows users to assemble their own timeline from a selection of single scenes. My input: joint concept development and prototype programming – unfortunately, prior commitments prevented me from seeing this project through beyond the concept stage.
Incidentally, it stayed in the family: my brother Duc-Thien Bui programmed the site and Jenny Fitz took care of all design-related issues. Rejoining the project in its final stages, I devised the banner ad and final sound design from mixed, cut-up and modified snippets of the original soundtrack.

Created in Britain in the 1990s, mini-soccer was invented to give kids an introduction to the sport in the best possible way -- by making the game more fun and less pressure-packed. Mini-soccer is played on a smaller pitch and with fewer players, which allows everyone to get more involved in the game. Although the kids learn the rules of regular soccer, they do so in an atmosphere that focuses on fun instead of winning and losing.
As the FA Football youth league explains, the purpose of mini-soccer is to "improve enjoyment, fun and development of young players, allowing more touches on a better proportioned pitch with an increase of involvement in the game as a whole." Welcoming to kids of all skill levels as well as kids with disabilities, mini-soccer is based on the theory that younger children do better when they play on smaller teams in a game with fewer rules.
Ages and Teams
Kids from the ages of 6 to12 are eligible to play in mini-soccer games and leagues. There are leagues for kids who are under 7 or 8, kids who are under 9 or 10 and kids who are under 11 or 12. The youngest age group can play with four people on each side and the oldest age group can play with up to nine players on each side.
The Pitch
The pitch is downsized to better meet the needs of the kids. For example, the under 9- and 10-year-old games are conducted on fields that are a minimum of 27 meters wide and a maximum of 45 meters wide. The length can range from 45 meters to 90 meters. Kids under 7 and 8 play on a field ranging from 18 to 45 meters wide and 45 to 70 meters long. The goal area is smaller -- the distance between the posts is 3.6 meters, making it easier for a goalie to cover the area.
Mini-soccer rules are specifically geared toward reducing pressure on younger kids to win. In fact, in leagues for under 7 and 8 years olds, results of games can't be collected or published and trophies can't be awarded. Civilized behavior on the part of parents and coaches is part of the mini-soccer philosophy as well. Adults are cautioned to use positive reinforcement rather than criticism, which young kids are ill-equipped to handle, and refrain from yelling at kids or refs from the sideline.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Standing in a steady drizzle as dark clouds rolled over the Mississippi, supporters of the Tennessee Equality Project rallied outside of the federal courthouse here Dec. 9. All across the state, similar rallies took place to petition President Obama to sign an executive order barring discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in federal contracting jobs.
Anne Gullick, the Tennessee Equality Project's Shelby County chairperson, addressed a semicircle of thirty equality advocates saying, "This is about equality in the workplace." Gullick, standing beneath the American flag, said, "I am a straight woman. This is my cause." She pointed out that "the women's rights movement and the LGBTQ rights movement" have much in common: "the oppressors are the same."
The next speaker, Michelle Bliss, discussed why the TEP is seeking an executive order from the President: "Our state legislature has cut us off at the knees." She went on to explain, "Nashville has passed a law that says no municipality can extend protections beyond their own employees."
In October, by a 9-4 vote, the City Council of Memphis approved a nondiscrimination ordinance that extended protections to city workers based on sexual orientation and gender identity. However, the City of Memphis is powerless to extend similar protections to other workers due to state law.
According to Bliss, "The only way to overcome this state law is through federal action." She added, "Workers should be judged by what they do 9 to 5" and not by who they love.
Chai Feldblum, a Commissioner at the EEOC and the lead attorney in drafting the Americans with Disabilities Act, agrees. Feldblum met with a small group of local equality advocates days before the rally in the basement of Evergreen Presbyterian Church. "Ultimately what is needed," Feldblum said, "is a federal law." "But," she said, "until we get that, what we need is an executive order."
Feldblum outlined her approach, saying, "You need three things to create social change: law, policy and practice and social norms." An executive order from President Obama would represent a crucial change in policy and advance the cause of equality. Feldblum confided, "I have zero doubt the President will issue this executive order." She paused, then added, "The question is when...we have to be smart and strategic about it."
The final speaker at the rally was Glenn Ramsey. Ramsey, an adjunct professor at the University of Memphis, encouraged the crowd to "extend the struggle" and "build on the recent victory [in the Memphis City Council]." Ramsey said they should secure "the real right to work... for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender" people across Tennessee.
While his partner, Jim Maynard, held an umbrella over his head, Ramsey put the purpose of the rally into perspective, saying, "We know, as America's working people, that policies like these [right to work] and longstanding employment discrimination against LGBT people, only serve the aims of America's corporate elite to divide and conquer our national workforce."
Last week the Supreme Court agreed to hear two separate cases regarding marriage equality. Should the justices rule to curtail discrimination, the Republican wedge issue of LGBTQ equality will be severely blunted. Considering the GOP's reliance on wedge issues, especially in the South, to divide the working class against itself, a Supreme Court ruling declaring marriage discrimination unconstitutional would represent a strategic defeat to the right wing.
While distant thunder rumbled, Ramsey asked, "Who else defeated the massive amounts of wealth invested by the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson and the American Heritage Foundation?" Ramsey shouted to the applauding crowd, "We the American people did, and we can do it again! Si se puede!"

John W. Swails
John W. Swails (1915-2010)
John W. Swails was born November 26, 1915, in the small community of Andrews, S.C., to John W. Swails Sr. and Minnie Kellahan Swails. He was the 10th of 15 children. In January 1919, when Swails was only three years old, his mother fell victim to the Spanish Flu pandemic, and his father moved the family to an 80-acre farm in the Puncheon Creek Community. Swails quit school in the fifth grade to help work the farm until his father's death in December 1932.
Swails' eternal destiny and earthly future changed, however, in May 1932 when he accepted Christ at a three-week revival presided over by his uncle, W. T. (Bud) Swails, a minister from Rockingham, N.C. Following his conversion, God called the 16-year-old Swails into the ministry and placed within him an unquenchable hunger for the word of God. In a humble manner, Swails estimated that he read through the Bible at least 10 times in the three years following his conversion.
He also memorized countless scripture passages. Friends would often quote scriptures to him, and to their surprise, Swails would recount not only the book and the chapter, but also the verse from memory. He fondly recalled that while plowing a field for planting, he would memorize scriptures from a Bible that was falling apart.
Swails began his pastoral ministry in a home group in Jamestown, S.C., in early 1935. That year he was also accepted to Holmes Bible College, where he completed the requirements for graduation from both high school and Bible School in 1941. Swails furthered his education by earning a B.A. in philosophy and religion from Newberry College in 1944, a Master of Divinity at Lutheran Southern Seminary in 1946, and a Master of Arts in history from the University of Oklahoma in 1951. In addition, he completed 26 hours of post-graduate study at the University of Georgia.
In the midst of his graduate work, Swails still found time to focus on starting a family. On September 16, 1946, he married Glenda Mae Baldwin at Matthews Tabernacle Pentecostal Holiness Church in Lake City, S.C. During his first two years of marriage, Swails pastored Pentecostal Holiness churches in Elgin, Camden and Hamlet, S.C. The family's time at Hamlet also saw the arrival of his eldest son, John W. (Johnny) Swails III. In 1948, Swails moved his young family west when he accepted a teaching position at Southwestern College in Bethany, Okla. His tenure there lasted three years and saw the arrival of his second son, Joseph B. (Joe) Swails.
In spite of offers to pastor large churches in Oklahoma, Swails accepted a second teaching position at Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Ga., in 1951. There he taught Bible, Christian ministries, and social sciences until his retirement in 1982. Many students were impacted greatly by Swails' unique didactic style, and he always found it rewarding to be contacted by a former student or colleague. When Emmanuel's new auditorium was christened in 1998, Swails was the board of trustees' first choice for the honor, and the John W. Swails Center was so named. A street in Franklin Springs has been named for him as well.
While teaching at Emmanuel, Swails pastored the Elberton Pentecostal Holiness Church from 1953 to 1956. His youngest son, James R. (Jim) Swails, was born in 1953. Swails served as pastor for the Royston Pentecostal Holiness Church from 1956 to 1959, followed by a one-year stint as pastor of the Emmanuel College Church. In 1960 this pastorate consolidated with the Franklin Springs Pentecostal Holiness Church, where he ministered until 1982. Swails' pastoral ministry concluded at Stephenson Avenue Pentecostal Holiness Church in Savannah in 1985.
Rather than completely retire, however, Swails continued to evangelize from his home in Franklin Springs until the last few years of his life. He lost Glenda, his devoted wife of almost 60 years, in 2006. Within a year, God brought his second wife, Sylvia Williams, into his life, and they were married on August 5, 2007. Sylvia was a devoted companion and great encourager for the final three years of his life.
John W. Swails passed away on June 12, 2010. In addition to Sylvia, survivors include his three sons and daughters-in-law—John W. Swails III, Ph.D., and wife, Joy Williams Swails, of Tulsa, Okla.; Joseph B. Swails and wife, Sue Duncan Swails, of Georgetown, S.C.; and James R. Swails, M.D., and wife, Deborah Redd Swails, of Franklin Springs, Ga.—and a stepson, Travia Marcus Williams. He is also survived by nine grandchildren—John W. IV, Jana, Jaffa, Jessica, Joel, Aaron Pierce, Ryan, Summer and Sydnah—and nine great-grandchildren.
