Course so far
One thing that I have learned from the course so far are the different kinds of technology that are present in the classrooms as well as their implications. I have always looked down on technology since I find it to be a distraction rather than a aid in learning. Our outlook on technology in the classroom is forever changing and we definitely take technologies (both old and new) for granted. My rose would be the encouragement to "think outside the box" and participate in different ways that differ from my math education. My thorn would be that because my computer is broken, it really discourages me from doing my readings online and participating in the types of technologies we're learning about.
Ed, Tech and Society: Unit 1
I felt like this unit was a good introduction and laid down the foundation for the class: defining the terms and posing the big questions to contemplate over the course of the semester. It has encouraged me personally to engage with and explore technology that I have been reluctant to experiment with in the past, including prezi and instagram, and I am excited to continue to learn. We have also established initial contact with our pen pals in Ghana and while we are uncertain about the development of that relationship at this point, I am excited about the possibilities. The prospect of an undeveloped structure to this part of the course is exciting but at the same time, a bit anxiety provoking, and so I hope we can help future participants by laying down some sort of structure for them.
Half the Sky
Hey everybody, I don't really know if this has any place in this Ecological Imaginings class, but maybe if we can imagine the preservation of women to be a form of ecology, not unlike the preservation of all plant life, animal life.
I just wanted to call everyone's attention to this excellent documentary currently being shown on PBS on Mon & Tues nights at 9:00 PM. I imagine you guys have lots of time to watch films, yeah! But this is an amazing series.
"Half the Sky" about gender based violence.
Here's the link to the first & second segment:
NGOs in Ghana – intial reflections on group project & trip
While in Ghana, I couldn't help but think about my group's discussion of NGOs in Ghana and their work, and compare these things to the realities that we saw on the ground. I still have a lot of questions, but my post is long overdue, so observations + questioning will have to be sufficient for now!
During our project, one of the more resonant questions for me was, "How do NGOs collaborate and is this collaboration successful?" I think this question guided some of my observations during the trip.
Observations: Looking around the Dalun Youth Association (DYA) building, I saw some posters, asked some questions. All this happened very quickly, so I'm not 100% this is the correct information, but I'll relay what I remember and wrote down.
DYA exists to bring the youth together – students gather here and "because they are together, they are stronger and can advocate for the needs of the community, what they see the community needs to develop" (field notes), like new roads to Tamale (which I would also advocate for, for both selfish and unselfish reasons). DYA uses sports as a tool for development – in this rural community, athletic competition is a perfect way to bring people together, both young and old. Once the people are gathered, the youth can spread their message of change. And this message is much more powerful coming from a vibrant, organized youth group.
The Technology of Literature-a summary and critique
For my fourth class this semester, an independent study with an anthropology professor revolving around the topics covered in the 360, I have explored in the last week a series of pieces of literature delving into the differences and paradoxes between oral-based cultures versus those that have developed systems of writing. Specifically, my studies started by looking at Jack Goody's theory on the "technology of writing" in which he essentially argues that societies that have developed a system of writing have created a new tool or "technology" which has enabled them to be cognitively more advanced. The argument has been widely critiqued and problematized and I think the literature in general raises some critically important, provoking ideas.
I will summarize here a few of the contentions I found most stimulating. The first is the presence of logic and the potential way writing enables various ideas and works from different authors and different times to be consolidated in a way that is more logical and thus helpful than what can be done via oral tradition only. A second contention is that of audience. Whereas oral tradition requires, at least seemingly, an audience, written works can be written and transmitted without knowledge of a specific audience. I find this idea particularly interesting because it feeds directly into a third point about variability. Written works are stagnant to a certain extent, copyright and authorial presentation are limited to the page, lacking change with time, speaker or audience.
Tweeting and Identity
In looking at the tweets and conversations this week, I have made a few observations. First off, I would like to recall the tweets regarding bridging academics and personal experiences in the classroom as a means of learning. Something I am finding particularly useful about the Twitter is that it is allowing us to, at some extent, create these bridges. Though our experiences are held to a 140-character limit, it does allow us to bring what we observe, notice, feel, etc., in a precise moment into the classroom. Questions via Twitter also serve as a basis for further inquiry, such as the questions regarding code-switching and world-travelling. These questions, and the ones that are generated in class provide a framework and basis for thought, in and out of the classroom, leading us to form more experiences with the mindset and understanding of what we accomplish in the classroom.

Test vehicles will soon travel on the Oakland Airport Connector (OAC) tracks as the Bay Area Rapid Transit District's (BART) project moves into one of the final phases before the anticipated opening for service this fall. The first of the new test vehicles was unveiled on Tuesday at the OAC wheelhouse, the hub where 12-foot motorized wheels pull the cables that provide traction for the driverless vehicles."Passenger travel on the elevated guideway between Coliseum BART and the Oakland Airport Station is now less than a year away," said BART Director Robert Raburn. "I'm heartened that the Oakland Airport Connector will boost development in Oakland and the fact that the project has already put local people to work."
The test vehicle is the first of four that will travel along the 3.2 mile track, or guideway, between BART's Oakland Airport/Coliseum Station and a new station next to the terminals at Oakland International Airport. The vehicles are being constructed in Oregon and shipped to the San Francisco Bay Area for final assembly on site. All are expected to be in testing this spring.Once OAC opens to the public, trains will complete the trip in just eight minutes, 30 seconds. Total travel time, which includes walking from the BART Coliseum Station to the OAC platform and from OAC to the airport terminals, is expected to take 12 minutes to 14 minutes.The OAC will replace the current AirBART buses, which drive through nine intersections on local streets and take 20 minutes to 25 minutes in ideal traffic conditions.Fares for OAC have not yet been determined but are anticipated to be roughly equivalent to the $3 AirBART fare with the added advantage of allowing Clipper card holders to simply swipe their cards to pay.The total cost of the project is $484 million and it is on time and on budget, according to BART. The project's local hiring program is exceeding its goals, with 934 of the 1,508 on site workers being local area residents, 271 of whom are from Oakland.

When OAC opens, hopefully BART will extend its blue line run (from Dublin/Pleasanton) further to BART's SFO station, providing a one-seat ride between the SFO and the OAC transfer at Coliseum. Such an inter-airport link will serve travelers well.

Winning a job in the tough arena of animation is a challenge, even for the most talented artists. We've made it a little easier for you by explaining the best ways to present your skills, and make sure your application won't be overlooked – starting with the creation of a killer showreel.
These tips have been put together for you by Kevin Phillips, one of Natcoll's industry pro tutors.
Add This Post to Your Delicious
To Start – Deliver Quality Visuals & Eye Candy
The key to a great showreel is quality visuals and eye candy. If your animation or modeling is 'adequate' or 'Ok', then work on making it better than just average. The more you can impress people with your artwork, the more likely they'll consider you, no matter what you list on your CV. It's important to know what skills a person has but lots of extensive techy software ability won't get you a job if your animation/modeling is not up to scratch.
It is shockingly common to see a CV that lists 'x years experience with [insert 3D app of choice]' and then a showreel that only goes to demonstrate amateur CG skills. You also sometimes see great looking artwork, then appalling animation skills, or cool animation skills and bad modeling or visuals.
Does your Modelling Suck?
If your modeling sucks, but your animation rocks – get some generic characters and use them in your showreel to demonstrate your animation skills. Avoid using shonky or badly modeled objects if they just serve to make ugly looking animation.
If your animation sucks, but your modeling rocks – don't animate. Instead pose up any characters, do some stills and turntables (that's the 360 degree turn around), or get an animator to animate it for you (always mention who did what) Best not apply for a job where it's quickly going to show up that you really can't animate/model…
It's VERY easy to spot those people who try sneaking into a job by using other people's work, as it shows up quickly when someone can't do something they said they could. Usually that's why a lot of studios will give you an initial trial of 1-3 months.
In reality - it's what you can show and not what you know that will most likely get you a job. Sometimes it's who you know too.
Don't Waste Time on Fancy Titles
Here's a great piece of advice made by an industry visitor who reviewed some student work recently.
"It's nice animation, but I'd rather they spent the time making 'nice' into 'awesome', than spending time adding more 'bits' to make it longer"
This is great advice that I figured worth commenting on…when creating your show reel, don't waste time creating fancy titles, or credits, or making as much 'work' as you can to fill a show reel. Take that time to review your existing work, and polish it to become something truly slick! A show reel doesn't HAVE to last 2-3 minutes. If you don't have 3 minutes of GOOD work, don't try to fill the time with 'stuff', or long credit sequences (often people won't bother watching those anyway).
A show reel should serve to give people a teaser of the very best work you have. It should do what any good trailer does – make you want to see more!
This is a good time to bring up some more words of wisdom for those wanting to make reels to apply for jobs:
Use Running Order for Maximum Impact
While I'm on it, people should also take care of the running order of their work on their reel to get best impact. In this case, I use what I call the American Idol formula…
- Best work first
- Great work in middle
- More 'Best' work last
- Mundane work – NOT on the reel!
The idea is to get the viewer to be drawn into your reel right at the start. Go 'Wow! What's next?!'.
If you have good work that's not exactly 'wow' but still impressive, put it in the middle somewhere. If it's less than good, don't even consider placing it on the reel.
At the end, you want the viewer to finish thinking 'wow', so slap a few good pieces at the end to make sure they don't leave with that 'Started out ok… Pity' feeling. Hook them at the start with a great piece of work. Leave them with a 'I want to see more, that was cool' at the end.
Also be wary that not all studios watch entire reels – sometimes, it's the first 30 seconds which start the reel that inspire them to decide whether the artist is worth hiring. So keep it slick, exciting and as polished as possible.
Pacing is Critical
Pacing is also critical – don't dwell on a shot, don't show an entire animation (unless it's extremely cool and enjoyable to watch). If you have long animations, choose the best shots from it and edit those into your reel. Keep the reel 'flowing' – as soon as you get too slow, people start to get bored and they'll lose interest. You need your reel to be fast and snappy, but not too fast as to confuse the viewer with 'What was that? It was too fast'
Movement with Still Images Makes a Huge Difference
If you have still images you want to use for your showreel, consider using Ken Burns effects (panning, zooming) to keep the images moving – static shots that simply cross-fade or transition start to bore. Movement, even with still images, makes a HUGE difference.
I see still images used a lot for showing off modeling projects – for models, try and use turntable animations to show off models (that 360 degree rotation) rather than static shots if possible – otherwise consider Ken Burns effects to transition and keep the reel 'moving'.
Take Care When Applying a Sound Track
Choose music that's appropriate, and make sure the showreel has some kind of synch with it (it doesn't have to match beat-by-beat, as long as it flows at the same pace as the beat of the music). Also make sure you don't choose some slow, quiet cello piece that starts to make people doze off or a repetitive acoustic guitar riff that starts to irritate after the first 2 seconds. Looping audio is cool, but take care you choose some kind of un-irritating piece. You can also embellish looped tracks with some sound effects (perhaps a sound that kicks in when you cut to a different video, or add sound effects to the video).
Avoid weird, offensive or anything over the top that you might like – but could just irritate the viewer. Remember, not everybody has the same tastes, and some people have certain beliefs and values that might not appreciate hearing your favourite death metal track on your reel. (And lose you that job opportunity).
Some studios don't listen to audio when watching reels. Some do. Some people I've known to dump reels in a box if the first thing that annoys them is the 'damn music'. So take care when applying a sound track.
Creating Credits
Simple – start with your name and contact details. End with your name and contact details. You can place the software used in the reel if you wish, but often you'll include a CV with your show reel so it's not always necessary.
If you didn't work on all the material in your reel (ie. a group project) then make sure you type up and supply a 'shot breakdown' with your reel explaining your roles in each shot you were involved in. A lot of people now expect this, given that professionals will often not be the only people who work on a shot on their reel if they came from a studio. The same should apply to you.
The biggest tip for credits is this – Who are YOU?
If you are applying for jobs as an employee somewhere, DO NOT try and be clever on your reel by saying the work was done by '<yourname> studios' – This indicates you are a business, not an individual. A company doesn't want to hire your company, they want to hire you, the individual.
Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't serve to make you appear more professional. In the end, market yourself, not your dream company.
Submitting your Showreel for an Animation Job
First and foremost – if it's for an animation/modelling job, you need a video based showreel. Unless the job is asking for Flash or Web skills, DON'T include examples of work that has nothing to do with the job you're applying for. I've seen showreel 'Interactive CDs' that showcase a broad range of skills, but if you're applying for an animation or modeling position, you need to show LOTS of examples of JUST THAT AREA and avoid a 'sampler' of things irrelevant. It's very hard to judge someone's 3D skills on 2 rendered images and a quicktime VR, with half a dozen flash-based websites…
How Not to Submit a Showreel
You can send out video files on disk for your show reel, and it is often the case for students who decide to post out their details to potential employers. However, whatever you do please AVOID sending out uncompressed videos on a CD or DVD.
Nothing irritates employers more than not being able to play back video in real time cause its uncompressed and needs to be copied to the hard drive just to play it (and when its like 600Mb of hard disk space, hmmm). This is scarily common, and usually comes from students or artists who feel compression ruins the quality of their reel – the truth is, compression is designed to allow video files to be small, but also to play back more efficiently then uncompressed video.
Another thing – avoid those obscure video codecs that may require people to download something to play them, and no, including the codec on a CD/DVD means installing software which most people just won't bother with (and you'll possibly have to include both PC and Mac variants of codecs (if they exist)). People won't care if it's the best codec, you should be using it!. Standard video codecs, standard video formats. And make sure you NOTE somewhere what format/codec was used.
When working at a studio, I would see quite a few reels that wouldn't play at all. Turned out we needed to download some opensource Mpeg4 variant they had found and decided was the best thing they'd tried. But that's asking to see your showreel dumped in a box.
Quicktime is a good option here – It has all of it's compression codecs included, though it pays to also be wary that not all companies will have the latest Quicktime installed (so watch out for new codecs added by Apple that were not in the previous versions).
TIP : If you're not sure what to send, ASK the company or studio what format they prefer their reels submitted in.
The Proper Way to Present a Showreel
If you must post it physically, then consider avoiding supplying it as a video file (with potential to be an issue if it's in a format an employer doesn't use or like) and generate it on a DVD (VHS tape is how it used to be done – with the advent of DVD, VHS has almost vanished so with that in mind, I would probably avoid the tape approach.)
DVD tools are a-plenty and there are many freely available tools online (such as DVDFlick) that can be downloaded and used to make your show reel disk. It's generally good advice to consider testing your DVD's on real DVD players and not just on computers. The benefit of DVD is that it is based on a set of standards that are consistant across most of the DVD playing software and hardware. You are guaranteed that there is a high-likelihood of your show reel being viewable by most…
Putting your show reel on the web. A great idea, given the amount of broadband usage around the globe vs. dial-up. Obviously the compressed data should be as small as possible, but there's a lot of ways you can distribute your show reel online…
Bandwidth and Hosting
Hosting your show reel can be a financial killer if you're paying for website hosting. Large files and billions of users online can drain bandwidth resources for a hosting service, and cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars (depending on how popular your reel is). Lucky we have video servers everywhere for free. You can consider uploading and sharing your video on one of many of these. A couple of popular ones include:
And there's more if you look around… These are free, and won't cost you anything. Quality can often get dropped, however, so it's worth reviewing the features of any online service to see whether it's going to affect the quality of your work.
File size considerations
You've got the showreel, you've got the compression sorted… But do you really want to post a super-high res 150Mb reel online? The web is becoming more and more a hi-def download zone, but for the sake of making life easier of your viewing audience, consider creating low-res versions of your showreels for those potential employers that pay for bandwidth and don't care about downloading something so large just to preview your work.
Offering low-res versions for mobile devices is also not such a bad concept either (iPod, PSP, phone, etc). A tool such as 3GP converter or WinFF can quickly shrink and recompress your movie for playback on pretty much anything (PC, Mac or portable device) and often with very small file sizes.
If you feel you need to show your fantastic work in all it's glory, provide various sizes for download so that your online audience has a choice of quality and size to choose from.
Should I send Anything Else?
There are about 3 types of document you might want to also include when sending a reel. The first obviously is an introduction letter that acts as a selling point as to your self-belief in your skills and just why you feel you should be employed as an artist.
The second is your curriculum vitae, or resume. This is the overview and summary of your skills, experience, personal details. However… Here's a few snippets of advice in relation to include in this document.
Things to Avoid in Your CV
In terms of supplying a resume or curriculum vitae with your reel, you should avoid creating long, detailed documents. A resume/cv should ideally be around 2 pages in total, summarising your core information and skills. For additional information, consider placing these in separate files available to employers on request, or just bringing these with you during an interview (that's if the employer asks for it).
Things that you should not place in a resume/cv, based on feedback from various management and human resource departments:
- Age and Health related information – These details are subject to privacy acts, and are not something that needs to be included on documentation. An employer may request this information later on, but as far as making this available on paper, it's not required (and can actually be of a disadvantage to your application (ie. this person sounds like they are too young, probably not very experienced))
- Marital and relationship status – also subject to privacy.
- The fact that you are a student who has just finished a course – This can be detrimental to your success in landing the job, or to what you get offered. Some large studios in the USA have been known to leverage this to lower salaries for their new employees for the privilege to work in their studio. You can place your education info into your resume, but you should write up your details as though you are a CG artist (and not a recently-graduated student)
The third document that is often a requirement by many studios is a break-down of the contents of the reel. This is a necessity for many studios, specially when viewing reels from people who've worked in the industry. Studios know that most professional work is almost never done entirely by one person (of course, there are exceptions to that rule). Some studios will plain refuse to watch a reel without a break down document.
This document should say what the shot was, and what tasks you performed in the shot.
For example:
Drink Milk TVC:
Secondary character animator, Light TD.
Animated the background characters. Set up lighting and rendering passes for scene.
This would usually suffice as a description. You can also credit the other work to team members (e.g. rigging, modeling and set dressing by other team members), but keeping it simple and clear should be fine. Often using a screen shot from the reel will also help make the shot break down easier to follow.
Will I be Good Enough to Work for an Animation Company?
This is also a common question I get asked. The simple answer is to look at what company xxx produces (look at their Website, or Film/TV work). Then ask yourself whether you feel that your work is anywhere near as good. Look at the level of quality, style, and work out if you have the skills necessary to create that type of material.
How can I really become kick-a$$ during my time studying?
This is where the key to making the most out of your time at Natcoll is to apply yourself beyond what you are taught in class (you will get out only what you are prepared to put in). I can't recommend that highly enough – and many students just don't take that comment on board.
Try and make it a passion, strive to expand your skills, do your own stuff on the side and use the Internet to learn and inspire your creative side from online resources (rather than download MP3′s and play flash games).
Never assume doing some exercises will get you a job (and trust me, I've seen plenty of people try using their 'exercise' work as a showreel – bad idea to think showing basic walk cycles or bouncy balls on a reel is a great way to demonstrate your skills.) There are some small studios that will bluntly tell you to 'get lost and don't waste our time with this rubbish' to your face if you try applying for jobs at any of them. Most studios receive a lot of bad reels, and often they will find themselves in the position of having to explain to someone the reason why they won't hire them. The result is a form of tough-love, and it can be hurtful, yet it's a reality you should be prepared to face if you don't apply yourself and still expect to work in '3D'.
Showreel Tools & Resources
The following websites are great resources when developing your showreel or portfolio.
- CG Gig has loads of advice on preparing yourself for getting that job in the industry.
- CG Critic is a site that is all about critiquing work. A good place to get feedback on your showreel before you start to show it to the rest of the world.
- CGReels is a great place to share and view show reels from all over the world.
Here are just a few links to some of the tools I've used that are both free and also useful for creating your show reels.
- DVDFlick (Windows) – A free DVD generator. It imports and converts 40+ different video formats and creates standard DVD's (with menus if so desired)
- TrakAx (Windows) – A free media production tool, designed for multi-track audio compositions as well as video and image-based media. An amazing Windows-only tool for free!
- VirtualDub (Windows) – A free, yet powerful video compression and processing application which has hundreds of excellent video processing plugins. Its not really an editor per-se, but its essential for working with video. Add to this AVISynth, a frame-server for Windows, and you have a powerful video processing toolset.
- WAX (Windows) – A free video editing and compositing application, much like an AfterEffects-type tool for Windows. Has both 2D and 3D compositing and effects as well. Nice application for the price.
- Audacity (Windows/OSX) – A free audio-editing tool for manipulating audio for that show reel.
That's my Reel advice for this article, I hope you find something useful here and good luck applying for those jobs.

Julian Meagher's softly-hued still lifes proffer meditation on stillness, beauty and desire. Deftly assembled objects painted in luscious, layered glazes tease the viewer with immediate gratification, signaling – as the tradition of nature morte has always promised – a location for one's selfhood through connection to 'things' and their ownership or symbolic meaning. Yet Meagher ups the genre's ante and casts subtle clues toward unexpected paths, speaking to Australia's often avoided, unquestioned histories of masculine toughness, vulnerability, drinking culture and sexuality. In his paintings, aged longneck drink bottles are vessels emptied, upended, transparent and inscribed with mottoes like 'Pick-Me-Up', 'Bitter Ale' and 'Imperial Pint'. Native flora, lovingly reproduced, mostly flower or have gone to seed, illustrating differing cycles of sexual development.
Meagher also paints portraits of well-known football players, here using glazes to dramatize a precarious fragility in each man's isolated facial expression. With some subject's eyes uplifted to emphasize a prayerful supplication, in contrast to the usual 'tough guy', in-your-face attitude we expect from our athletes, these Aussies don't sit comfortably within the norms of celebrity status.
Having originally trained as a medical doctor, Meagher studied Florentine Renaissance colour glazing technique in Italy. His work captures both a love of the sublime physicality of Giorgio Morandi and the deeply considered aesthetic of Japanese design and culture. Only a heartbeat away from the discomfiting, the artist's luminous, ethereal technique is uniquely personal.
In 2009 and 2012, Julian was the recipient of the New Work Grant from the Australia Council of the Arts. He has been finalist multiple times in the Doug Moran Portrait Prize, Salon des Refuses, Metro Art Prize, Blake Prize for Religious Art and the RBS Emerging Artist Prize. He has exhibited at the Melbourne International Art Fair in 2010 and 2012, the Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair in 2010 and Scope Miami in 2011 and 2012. Meagher was a finalist for the 2014 Archibald Prize.

Odyssey White Ice 2.0 2-Ball Putter 31 31
Excellent help from Dick's I spent at least an hour on each of 2 visits to Dick's in Danbury, with 2 different sales associates, testing different mallet putters and asking questions. Both associates were knowledgeable and patient. Ultimately I purchased the Odyssey 2 ball putter which had to be ordered and shipped. The order was placed, shipped and I received the putter the next day. Working with the sales associates, and Dick's fast turnaround time was a very positive experience. Now I just need to get my game into such an excellent standing. Thanks. November 17, 2014

The Bards used to > teach people what they needed to know the same way the > Bards/Performers taught people in the Middle Ages. Your Grace (and Robin), With respect, I was pretty active during that time period, and I'm sorry but I don't remember the bardic college doing any of those things for me or mine. I believe the Knights do a pretty fair job of teaching the Code of Chivalry. I believe that teaching and leading is a primary consideration in all of our Peerage circles when considering a candidate (even in the Pelican circle). I believe that *all* of us who've been in the SCA for any length of time teach gentlemen and ladies "the courtesies" (or ought to be doing so). And every branch in my area conducts regular newcomer workshops to teach newcomers "what they need to know". (I can't speak for the rest of the kingdom, but if your area doesn't, then I suggest you motivate your Hospitaler or someone else to do so.) And I hadn't thought about it before, but the persona workshops I've attended were all taught by Lions, as it happens. I'm sorry, but all I remember of the college was a few folks going around with these sashes with lots of hash marks on them. If anything, it made bards like them *less* approachable, not more so -- at least, for me. And I was *closely* involved in the research and creation of the Tournament of the Nine Worthies. I still have the masters for the booklet that I published for the event -- based on history and research done entirely (to my knowledge) by Sigmund and Siglinda. I admit to being totally surprised by your story about the College doing primary research for the Nine Worthies events. I have to question why *4* kings, 2 of which I personally know well and think extremely highly of (Patrick and Inman), would have gone out of their way to suppress the college *unless there was a good reason* -- like, maybe, there was a group of folks who were doing more harm than good (in their eyes), and who had decided to place themselves above the Crown (in a position to judge them). I believe that only the Lions in this kingdom have succeeded in placing themselves *apart* from (not beholding to) the Crown, but even they do not place themselves *above* the Crown. I was ok with Robin's argument that a College might help the current bards of Ansteorra pull together. I'm willing and ready to "go out to the meadow and see that the bumblebee can fly". But I'm deeply disturbed by these claims and accusations, and about the idea that we might be setting ourselves up to "do it all again". Is it *truly* your wish to set the bards up as judges of everyone else's behavior? As the "primary source" in the kingdom for what is the "right way to act" for everyone from newcomers to Peers? If so, then I can see why the college was suppressed in the first place. Most folks don't appreciate that. :-( I'm in favor of creating a fellowship that will give bards a feeling of belonging to something good and worthwhile (although I personally find that being a "bard of Ansteorra" is good enough for me). But I'm not in favor of doing so if it just sets us once again in the position of being "holier than thou" to everyone. If we're going to build a fellowship/fraternity/college/whatever, then let's do so "Not as it was, but as it should have been." Respectfully, Michael

How often can a person donate blood? According to the American Red Cross, it depends on what type of donation you are making.
If you are donating whole blood, you must wait 56 days between donations. According to the American Red Cross, those who make double red-cell donations must wait 112 days between donations.
You can make platelet donations more frequently than whole blood donations. The American Red Cross says you can make a platelet apheresis donation every seven days, up to 24 times a year.

The EU in the world - labour market
From Statistics Explained
- Data from February 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables and Database. Planned article update: May 2015.
This article is part of a set of statistical articles based on Eurostat's publication The EU in the world 2014.
The article focuses on labour market statistics in the European Union (EU) and in the 15 non-EU countries from the Group of Twenty (G20). It covers key indicators on employment and unemployment and gives an insight into the European labour market in comparison with the major economies in the rest of the world, such as its counterparts in the so-called Triad — Japan and the United States — and the BRICS composed of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Main statistical findings
The activity rate in Russia of 68.7 % was the second highest in 2012 among G20 members, behind the 71.7 % rate recorded for the EU-28
The labour force in the EU-28 in 2012 was composed of around 243 million persons aged 15–64 of whom 217 million were in employment. The activity rate is the share of economically active persons in the total population and in 2012 this ratio stood at 71.7 % for the EU-28. The employment rate is calculated as the share of employed persons in the total population of working-age and was 64.1 % in 2012 in the EU-28 — see Table 1.
Particular care should be taken when comparing labour market data between different countries, given there are often differences in the age criteria used to calculate activity and employment rates. Furthermore, care should be taken if the most recent data are not for the same year, as is the case in most of the analyses presented in this article. The global financial and economic crisis impacted strongly on labour markets and this can be seen clearly in employment and unemployment indicators. For example, the employment rate for the EU-28 peaked at 65.7 % in 2008, dropped to 64.5 % in 2009 and further still to 64.0 % in 2010, before recovering slightly to reach 64.1 % in 2011 and 2012.
Among the G20 members, the activity rate among persons aged 15 or more was just below 50 % in Turkey. At the other end of the scale, the Russian rate of 68.7 % was the second highest, below the 71.7 % activity rate recorded for the EU-28.
The activity rate of men was higher than the corresponding rate for women in all G20 members, in other words, a greater proportion of the male population was active in the labour force than the proportion of the female population. Only in Canada was the difference between male and female activity rates less than 10 percentage points. The gender difference was over 30 percentage points in Indonesia and Mexico, reached 41 percentage points in Turkey and peaked at 57 percentage points in Saudi Arabia.
The high gender difference in Indonesia was, in part, due to a particularly high activity rate for men (84.4 %). Mexico, the EU-28 and Saudi Arabia had the next highest male activity rates, all between 75 % and 80 %. Most of the other G20 members recorded male activity rates between 70 % and 75 %, with Argentina's male activity rate of 65.6 % and South Africa's rate of 61.7 % below this range.
By contrast, the high gender differences in Saudi Arabia and Turkey reflected exceptionally low female activity rates in these countries, 20.3 % in Saudi Arabia and 29.0 % in Turkey. For the remaining G20 members, female activity rates ranged from 42.7 % in Argentina to 58.8 % in Australia, with Canada (62.2 %), Russia (63.3 %) and the EU-28 (65.5 %) above this range.
The relative position of G20 members in terms of their employment rates was similar to that for activity rates: note that the different reference years for China resulted in a higher employment rate than activity rate. The largest disparity was recorded in South Africa, where the employment rate was just 41.0 %, some 13.8 percentage points below the activity rate; this was the lowest employment rate among the G20 members. South Korea, Japan, Mexico and Saudi Arabia recorded employment rates that were particularly close to their activity rates, indicating relatively low unemployment.
Figure 3 focuses on a particular part of the working-age population, namely persons aged 15–24. Although this age group is considered to be part of the working-age population, many young people are not part of the labour force because they are involved in other activities, notably secondary or tertiary education or compulsory military or social service. In comparison with the activity rates presented in Table 1, gender differences in activity rates were lower for the younger population than for the whole population in each of the G20 members (for which data are available). In fact, for South Korea, China, Japan and Canada the female activity rate among young persons was higher than the male activity rate in 2010. The gender difference in the activity rate for younger persons was over 20 percentage points in India, Mexico, Turkey and Indonesia and between 10 and 20 percentage points in Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Brazil, while in the EU-28 there was a difference of 5.9 percentage points (2012 data).
Employment rates for the remainder of the working-age population, namely persons aged 25–64 years, are analysed in Figure 4. This compares the employment rates for two sub-groups of persons in this age range, namely those with at most a lower secondary education and those with at most an upper secondary (ISCED level 3A) education. Among the 12 G20 members in the figure, nearly all recorded a lower employment rate for the sub-group of persons with at most a lower secondary level of education, the exceptions being in Turkey and Brazil where the rates for the two sub-groups were close. In the remaining nine members, employment rates for persons with at most lower secondary education were lower, the difference exceeding 10 percentage points in France, Canada, Italy, the United States, Russia and the United Kingdom.
Employment by working status
In the EU-28 in 2012, some 83.4 % of persons in employment were paid employees
Among the 217 million persons aged 15–74 in employment in the EU-28 in 2012, around five in every six (83.4 %) were wage and salary earners, in other words paid employees; the remainder were mainly self-employed persons (including employers), while family workers (who are not paid employees) made up 1.5 % of total employment. An analysis by working status shows very different patterns across the G20 members, with only Canada and South Africa reporting a similar share of employees as that observed for the EU-28.
The United States, Saudi Arabia and Russia stand out with very high shares of paid employees, in excess of 90 %, with Australia just below this share; at the other end of the ranking, around two thirds of persons in employment were paid employees in Brazil and Mexico, this share falling closer to three fifths in Turkey and below one third in Indonesia. The self-employed accounted for more than two fifths of all persons in employment in Indonesia and more than one fifth in Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, South Korea and Argentina, but less than one tenth in Japan, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Russia. In many G20 members, a relatively small proportion of employment is made up of family workers, sometimes less than 1 % of the total workforce and generally not more than 3 %. Nevertheless, family workers contributed 5.3 % of total employment in South Korea, 6.2 % in Mexico, 13.2 % in Turkey and 17.3 % in Indonesia.
Unemployment levels and rates
The unemployment rate increased most strongly in the United States, more than doubling from 4.6 % in 2007 to 9.6 % by 2010
Unemployed persons are those without work, but actively searching work. The unemployment rate is calculated as the number of unemployed persons as a proportion of the labour force (comprising all employed and unemployed persons). In 2012, the number of unemployed persons in the EU-28 was 25.5 million, equivalent to an unemployment rate of 10.5 %. Among the G20 members, the unemployment rate ranged from 4.1 % in China to 10.5 % in the EU-28, with South Korea (3.2 %) below this range and South Africa (25.1 %) considerably above it.
In the EU-28, male and female unemployment rates were relatively similar, 10.4 % for men and 10.6 % for women in 2012; this pattern was also observed in Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United States. In G20 countries where there was a larger difference between unemployment rates for men and women it was generally the rate for women that was highest, notably in Saudi Arabia, but also in India, South Africa, Argentina, Brazil and, to a lesser extent, Turkey.
A comparison for 12 G20 members indicates that unemployment rates in 2011 were generally higher among persons who had at most completed lower secondary education than among those with at most an upper secondary (ISCED level 3A) education; the only exceptions to this were South Korea, Brazil and Mexico where the rates were very similar — see Figure 5. The United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, France and Canada all reported relatively high unemployment rates for persons with at most lower secondary education.
An analysis comparing youth and adult unemployment rates is presented in Figure 6. It should be remembered that a large share of persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years are outside the labour market, for example, young people are more likely to be studying full-time and therefore are not available for work, while some may undertake other activities outside of the labour market, such as travel. All G20 members shown in the figure recorded a higher youth unemployment rate than adult unemployment rate. The largest differences between youth and adult unemployment rates in 2010, both in excess of 20 percentage points, were recorded in Saudi Arabia and South Africa, while differences in excess of 10 percentage points were also recorded in Indonesia, Argentina, the EU-28, Brazil, Turkey, Russia and the United States.
Persons who have been unemployed for one year or more are considered as long-term unemployed. Prolonged periods of unemployment may be linked with reduced employability of the unemployed person, while lengthy periods of unemployment may have a sustained impact on an individual's income and social conditions. Among the G20 members (subject to data availability, see Table 4), Mexico and South Korea reported long-term unemployment rates close to zero, while this rate reached 4.7 % in the EU-28.
Developments in the unemployment rate
In 2012 unemployment rates increased again in the EU-28 and to a lesser extent in Argentina, Australia and South Africa
The level of unemployment and the unemployment rate reflect economic developments, with unemployment generally rising after a fall in output and then falling again after output starts to increase; this lag before any reduction in unemployment rates may be quite lengthy. The time series presented in Table 5 shows the impact of the global financial and economic crisis. The unemployment rate fell or was stable in all G20 members (based on available data) in 2006 and this downward or stable path was extended into 2007 and 2008 in most cases; nevertheless, the unemployment rate for the United States and Turkey rose in 2008 by approximately 1 percentage point. In 2009, all G20 members witnessed a rise in their respective unemployment rates except for Indonesia. For 2010, the development in unemployment rates was more varied: South Africa, the EU-28 and the United States recorded further increases in their unemployment rates, while the rate fell most strongly in Turkey and Argentina. By 2011, unemployment rates appeared to have stabilised or were falling again in all G20 members but in 2012 this pattern was reversed as unemployment rates increased again in the EU-28 and to a lesser extent in Argentina, Australia and South Africa.
The impact of the global financial and economic crisis on the youth unemployment rate has attracted particular attention. Table 6 presents a time series analysis of youth unemployment rates. More recent data are available for the EU-28 and these clearly show the sharp increase in this rate in 2009 and the continued increase through until the latest reference period of 2012. Apart from Indonesia, all G20 members (China, India and Saudi Arabia, not available) recorded an increase in youth unemployment rates in 2009, the largest (in percentage point terms) being observed for the United States and Turkey. By 2010, youth unemployment rates had started to fall in several G20 members and in 2011 this rate fell in all G20 members (for which data are available) other than the EU-28 and Mexico.
Data sources and availability
The statistical data in this article were extracted during February 2014. The indicators are often compiled according to international — sometimes global — standards. Although most data are based on international concepts and definitions there may be certain discrepancies in the methods used to compile the data.
EU data
Most if not all of the indicators presented for the EU have been drawn from Eurobase, Eurostat's online database. Eurobase is updated regularly, so there may be differences between data appearing in this publication and data that is subsequently downloaded.
G20 countries from the rest of the world
For the 15 G20 countries that are not members of the EU, the data presented have generally been extracted from a range of international sources, most notably the International Labour Organisation, the OECD as well as the United Nations Statistics Division. For some of the indicators shown a range of international statistical sources are available, each with their own policies and practices concerning data management (for example, concerning data validation, correction of errors, estimation of missing data, and frequency of updating). In general, attempts have been made to use only one source for each indicator in order to provide a comparable analysis between the countries.
Labour market statistics measure the involvement of individuals, households and businesses in the labour market, where the former generally offer their labour in return for remuneration, while the latter offer employment. Market outcomes — for example, employment, unemployment, wage levels and labour costs — of these relationships affect not only the economy, but directly the lives of practically every person.
The economically active population, also known as the labour force, is made up of employed persons and the unemployed. Employed persons include employees as well as employers, the self-employed and family workers (persons who help another member of the family to run a farm, shop or other form of business). Members of the population who are neither employed nor unemployed are considered to be economically inactive. Persons in employment are those who did any work for pay or profit or were not working but had a job from which they were temporarily absent. The amount of time spent working is not a criterion and so full-time and part-time workers are included as well as persons on temporary contracts (contracts of limited duration).

Breathe Lyrics - East West
Breathe on me,
Just another punk coming straight out of O.C.,
Yeah you don't know me but I sure aint no croney
Bringin a style that's fresh and new,
Giving all the praise to the one that's true.
If you got ears to hear, you better open them,
Bringing the faith, and the love, and the hope to them.
All. All around the world as we cry?Oh wont you breathe on me?Breathe on me,
Justified and we're free you know we hit straight,
Aint no reason to lie, it's all about a clean slate,
But still we see times that are hard,
Sticking to lines that are faded and scared.
So we press on never turning around, no need to
look back when there's nothing but ground. As we
Wait for you to bring us alive.
Oh wont you breathe on us.

text: The Game That Dares Not Speak Its Name by Iowahawk 1 Feb 2013 post a comment Share This: Legal question for the editors: I was considering writing something about Sunday's S**** B***, but according to the ads I've seen lately, the broadcast or printing of this term is now forbidden. Apparently it's a word like "Beetlejuice," and if you say it 3 times the ghost of Pete Rozelle will return and haunt you in copyright court. So anyhoo I was thinking about referring to it as "The Big Game", but I'm worried that someone has also trademarked that phrase. Wait, I mean, "Th* B*g G*m*". Then thought about coming up with my own S**** ***l euphemism like "Gamus Maximus" or "Voldemortbowl" but they seem kinda clunky. Is is safe to use an anagram, such as "Surep Wolb" or "Bruse Plow"? Ah, forget it. Football bores me.

Thanks Angelo & Joan, much appreciated. And thanks for that on the shirts Joan - some experimentation - nothing worse than a solid rectangle on a T - even if it is full of diamonds...
So beautiful & intricate! Love how you used yellow & white together.... keeps the design lighter despite the intricate work! Other colors in mid tones keep it subtle yet wonderful!
Thanks for the feedback - much appreciated, and Deepti thanks so much for your perceptions on the yellow AND white... I've just come to realise how important white can be, and looking forward to exploring this breakthru' more...

RALEIGH An employee of a Georgia rides company made the Vortex a deadly weapon by tampering with technology that should have kept the ride from launching into motion and dumping passengers on a State Fair platform, according to warrants and law enforcement statements in the case.
Three people remain hospitalized after Thursdays incident. And a veteran rides inspector says that, by industry standards, only a failure or override of computerized sensors would have allowed the ride to start as its passengers sat helpless, their safety restraints unsecured.
Ken Martin, a Richmond, Va.-based safety consultant for fairs and carnivals, said that todays rides work much like modern cars, using sensors and digital communications systems to detect and avoid unsafe conditions.
They want to check and make sure, number one, the lap bars are down; number two, the lap bars are locked; number three, make sure all those systems are talking back and forth to each other, Martin said Sunday.
Local authorities have charged operator Timothy Tutterrow, 46, of Quitman, Ga., with altering the Vortexs safety systems after an inspection.
According to arrest warrants, Tutterrow unlawfully, willfully and feloniously did assault (the victims) with an amusement ride, a deadly weapon, inflicting serious injury.
Tutterrows attorney on Sunday declined comment on the operators actions, but said his client was devastated by the incident.
Witness accounts indicate that multiple riders were seriously injured because they couldnt stay inside the two sets of 16 seats without seat restraints.
Manar Joudeh, 18, said she saw the ride start again after an attendant lifted safety restraint bars, when most modern rides should have been disabled, according to Martin. Passengers unable to jump off were lifted high into the air, then dumped out as the ride ran its routine.
One of the guys hung on, and couldnt hang on any longer, and then the girl fell, and hit on her side, and there was blood everywhere, said Joudeh, 18.
A representative of the rides manufacturer, Technical Park of Italy, couldnt be reached for comment Sunday.
Looked for a quick fix
Sheriff Donnie Harrison said on Saturday that Tutterrow may have made an unauthorized change to the Vortexs safety system in order to keep the ride running. As a result, investigators have charged Tutterrow with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
Such a charge does not mean authorities suspect intentional harm; the sheriff did not name a motive for the activity alleged by the sheriffs office, beyond keeping the ride running.
It sounds to me, from what Ive read so far, Martin said, that there was a problem that went undiagnosed, and they just looked for a quick fix.
Tutterrow, 46, is paid a yearly salary, and other staffers are paid a flat weekly fee, according to Joyce Fitzpatrick, a spokeswoman for ride operator Family Attractions Amusement Company.
However, Family Attractions Amusements income depends on ridership; its paid based on how many tickets it receives from riders, according to Marc Janas, public relations director for Powers Great American Midway, which for years has managed many of the fairs games and rides.
This year was Family Attractions Amusements first at the North Carolina fair, and the company brought only one ride, the Vortex, Janas said
Hes absolutely devastated
Tutterrows attorney, Roger Smith Jr., has met with his client, but wasnt ready to comment on the specifics of the charges because of the early stage of the investigation, he said Sunday. Tutterrow was due for a first appearance at 2 p.m. Monday and was being held on $225,000 bond at the Wake County Detention Center.
Tim, hes married, he has kids, and hes absolutely devastated for whats happened, Smith said. Tutterrow has two grown children and a grandchild, he said.
The suspect has worked for ride-operator Family Attractions Amusement Company for four years, according to the company, which is based in Valdosta, Ga., about 20 miles from Tutterrows listed address.
It is a horrible thing, and my thoughts are all toward the families that were hurt, said Dominic Macaroni, an owner of Family Attractions Amusement for about 17 years.
Fitzpatrick said that the companys safety record is good. The website AmusementSafety.org lists three unspecified injuries for Family Attractions Amusement in its database, but a representative of the site did not return a request for further information. Fitzpatrick said the company believes those injuries were from slips and falls.
Conviction in earlier case
The North Carolina fairs 100-plus rides are inspected first by state Labor Department officials, but the owners are responsible for three daily inspections after the fair begins. Martin, the Virginia safety expert, cited North Carolinas as one of the safest and best-run fairs in the country.
During the fair, state officials conduct spot checks and investigate problems. On Monday, they found that the Vortex had been disabled by a bad solenoid, which helps shut the ride off when seat restraints arent properly engaged, according to the state Department of Labor; the component was replaced and re-inspected.
Tampering in such cases can bring serious legal battles for operators. At the Rockin Raceway of Pigeon Forge, Tenn., manager Charles Stan Martin effectively disabled a safety system that should have stopped The Hawk from running while a womans restraint was unsecured, a jury found in 2005. A judge upheld the ruling in 2007; Martin was sentenced to four years of probation for reckless homicide.
Ken Martin, the safety consultant, said portable attractions get a bad rap, but he acknowledged that reassembly and disassembly can cause wear and tear that requires careful monitoring.
Furthermore, he said, its hard to measure just how safe many rides and operators are. He described the industry as largely self-regulated, with standards built by consensus of about 500 people, from inspectors to insurers.
The most worrying effect of that lack of communication, Martin said, is that officials in one state cant easily learn about a rides problems elsewhere.
The families of those still hospitalized have asked for privacy, and neither they nor WakeMed have disclosed information about their current medical status. They are Anthony Gorham, 29; Kisha Gorham, 39; and a 14-year-old whose identity has not been disclosed.
