Ariana Amorim's insight:
From the article:
"Digital storytelling makes for engaging lessons that allow students to create and publish content rather than just passively consuming it. It empowers every student with the opportunity to develop his voice and personalize it through the use of media.
(...) You have a wide variety of options for applying digital storytelling to your curriculum."
The article includes the following sections:
- Overview
- The art of digital storytelling
- Explanations, prompts, and examples

Easily Create Awesome Video Stories on iPad Using Doodlecast ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Learning
Doodlecast for Kids is an iPad app that allows kids to draw on a whiteboard and record their voice while drawing; a kid's version for creating animated videos. Doodlecast for Kids has also a gallery of more than 20 story prompts to help struggling students. Students can either pick out one from the prompts or start from scratch.
Book Creator allows anyone to create their own books using images, text, videos, and audio recordings.
Book Creator is not a free app ($4.99 as an individual and less with volume purchasing) but I think that it is well worth the money that I spent on it.
The latest updates to Book Creator allows you to export your books to ePub 3.0 format. The exported file can be opened an read in the Chrome web browser using the free Readium browser extension. This is a great option as it allows a parent who doesn't have an iPad at home to view his or her child's work at home.
Another feature added to Book Creator 2.5 is the option to take pictures and videos from within the app. Version 2.5 introduced new page format options including a full screen format.

1. We live in a conceptual age where people look for meaning and purpose in absolutely everything they buy.
2. Every story follows the same basic dramatic structure.
3. Always give your audience the chance to participate in your story and be the hero.
4. Different characters can be introduced to tell new stories.

Looks like a great tool - I hope there is an Android version of it.
StudentSupport@EdinburghCollege's curator insight, June 18, 2013 10:35 AM
Studying is not the intended function of this application, however, by uploading lecture slides as images, or taking pictures of the board during class, then uploading these images to Pixntell, would allow you to create your very own custom Flashcards. By recording your own audio notes to accompany the images, you could create short movies that could act as bitesize recap tools to support your revision, or prompts for studying, or a visual plan for your coursework.
Over the years I've found that drawings and pictures can be good creative writing prompts for students. Here are two tools that elementary school students can use to create stories prompted by drawings.
Different from other presentation apps, 30hands Mobile focuses on the power of storytelling. Like pages in a book, photos or images are dragged around the desktop into the order of the story. Next, the teacher or student records audio over each image. Finally, the story or presentation can be published to the device's photo area or uploaded to a 30hands collaborative learning site.

Service providers ignoring demand for customer care via social media
While two-thirds of service providers believe that mobile customers turn to social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter because they are unable to contact a customer care agent via any other channel, the reality is quite different, according to research released by Amdocs.
Sixty-eight percent of service providers believe that customers contacting them via social media do so because they are unable to reach them via more traditional channels. However, Amdocs' research found that 50% of customers actually prefer using social media rather than having to contact a call center.
Furthermore, two-thirds (64%) of customers said they would be happy to share their social identity with their service provider in return for better service.
However, the current social customer care climate is not impressing customers. Half said they had tried to communicate with their service provider on social media but three-quarters never received a reply leaving 80% with no option but to call the call center.
"The research shows a huge opportunity to deflect customer care to lower-cost, social media channels and to increase Net Promoter Score (NPS) and positive word-of-mouth visibility," said Rebecca Prudhomme, vice president for product and solution marketing at Amdocs.
"When people take to Twitter or Facebook to ask questions or, worse yet, complain about their service provider, that's an opportunity the service provider can take to proactively resolve that customer's issue - if they know that customer's real identity."

Grand gymnastics tournament to take place in Baku in 2015
12 June 2014 [16:15] -
A grand testing gymnastics tournament will be held in Baku on the eve of the first European Games in 2015, Vice-President of the European Union of Gymnastics (UEG), General Secretary of the Azerbaijan Gymnastics Federation (AGF), Farid Gaibov said at a press conference on the Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championship in Baku on June 12.
"We will hold a test tournament on six gymnastic disciplines in March 2015 in the same manner as the first European Games," he said.
"As for the current tournament, we are checking the work of the Olympic Village together with the Organizing Committee of the European Games here."
The first European Games will be held in Azerbaijan's Baku in June of 2015.
"All delegations were satisfied with the quality of accommodation in the Olympic Village," he said, adding that delegations from 30 countries were accommodated in the village.
"Only two of 13 buildings are used during the European Championship, but this did not affect the conditions created for athletes. They are much better than in any hotel."
Gaibov also noted the location of the village, which is located directly across the National Gymnastics Arena. The arena is near the under-construction arena, where the first European Games will take place.
The Jubilee Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championship will be held in the national gymnastics arena in Baku on June 13-15. Some 258 gymnasts from 33 world's countries will compete for the nine sets of awards.

It was an airfare deal too good to be true: fly first class to Hong Kong for just 4 frequent flier miles and US$33 ($41) in taxes.
Clearly, it was a computer glitch. But it's also turning out to be the first major test of the Department of Transportation's new consumer protection rules prohibiting airlines from "increasing the price after the consumer completes the purchase."
On Sunday, computers at United Airlines erroneously let passengers book flights to Hong Kong — or other places in Asia connecting in Hong Kong — in exchange for 4 miles, plus government taxes. Frequent fliers quickly shared the error on blogs and online chat rooms. Some, such as Ben Schlappig who runs the site One Mile at a Time, advised people not to call the airline, saying, "There's no need to bring further attention to this pricing."
A business class seat for a flight on United to Hong Kong goes for about $8,500 or 120,000 frequent flier miles; first class costs US$10,250 ($12,796) or 140,000 miles.
Before long, hundreds, if not thousands, of fliers — the airline won't say how many — booked trips. United eventually pulled the plug and announced it wasn't honouring tickets already sold. People could get a refund without paying a penalty or have the proper amount of miles deducted. Anyone who had already started their trip would be allowed to complete their travel.
Several people who booked tickets complained to the DOT, which is now investigating.
"Our rule on post-purchase price increases applies to frequent flier tickets, particularly when they also entail cash payments," DOT spokesman Bill Mosley said via email.
There's one sticking point in this case: the cost advertised was actually correct. A ticket searcher initially saw a cost of 120,000 miles. It was only when customers went to book that the 4 mile figure appeared. And if customers had the full 120,000 miles in their accounts, that was actually deducted. Those with less had no miles deducted. All passengers were charged the appropriate taxes.
Mosley said the agency hadn't yet "reached any conclusions."
The maximum penalty per violation is US$27,500 ($34,333) but the government has wide discretion in what amount to actual fine.
Susan Clarke, a 62-year-old retired teacher from Aiken, S.C., is one of the people who bought a ticket. She knew it was a computer glitch but booked a trip for March anyway.
"United just made a big mistake and needs to honour it," she said. "That was their mistake, wasn't it?"
But those who make a living off finding airfare sales say there is a difference between a good deal and taking advantage of a mistake.
"When a waiter adds up the check wrong in my favour, I let him or her know. When a clerk hands me back too much change, I give it back," said George Hobica, founder of AirfareWatchdog. "These fliers knew that this was a mistake, and they should treat an airline the same way they treat any other entity."

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Beast with a Billion Backs is the second in an extension of the
Futurama animated series, now being released as a fully fledged movie
experience. In terms of plot the demands of a ninety minute episode are
far greater, and the transition itself hasn't been entirely smooth. The
humour is more forced, demanding that you laugh on the first try as
opposed to sitting subtly in the background for you to discover in an
off viewing.
Its this level of confidence that made the Simpsons great, but as that animated dinosaur now bludgeons the viewer with the obvious, slapstick humour one would expect of a cheesy 80's sitcom, creator Groening is letting bad trends slip into an otherwise rejuvenating series.
The beginning of Benders Big Score was painfully forced, but it soon fell into its old clever self, delivering a plot that was genuinely unexpected with patented levels of Futurama drama that never cross the line we all draw in our heads of such a series, but the Beast with a Billion Backs is, no pun intended, a very different beast.
The story itself is very much "out there", even for a show that already borders on insanity. A rift between two alternate universes appears above Earth, and immediately people assume the worst. As quickly as this major plot device is introduced, it is forgotten, and soon we find ourselves following two sub plots involving Fry's battle with the concept of polygamy and Benders childhood fantasy of an underground cult of Robots defending the very foundation of Robot ideal.
A good third into the movie our attention is once again brought unto the giant rift, where a giant tentacle eventually emerges threatening the would be Earth we all know and love. As the plot moves forward you begin to wonder just where its all heading, and without giving too much away the ending is the most ambiguous i've ever witnessed in the series.
Somewhere in the convoluted plot line lies a point. The ending would stipulate some sort of overall commentary on the concept of love, but its just not entirely clear what this commentary is. Furthermore, Benders raging jealously is simply too undeveloped to be used to drive the story forward as much as it does. Bender is a great character for humour delivery but is remarkably inconsistent, bouncing from indifference, to kill all humans, to genuine compassion in mere minutes of screen time.
Its difficult to say just how "good" this movie is. When you finish watching it you won't be sure what just happened or why, but the overall sense of purpose is very much lacking. Perhaps thats the point, but combining ham fisted comedy with philosophical wonder is going to alienate all but the most die hard of fans aching for justification between the pages.
Overall The Beast of a Billion Backs is an odd experience worthwhile to just about any Futurama fan. With all said and done Futurama at its worst (which this certainly is not) is still brilliant, indeed the series greatest enemy proves time and time again to be its former self.
The first Futurama movie felt like a collection of episodes strung
together, "Benders Big Score" was enjoyable for fans, but like "the
family guy movie", or "the Simpson's movie", it doesn't do anything the
show didn't do, the same cannot be said for "The Beast With A Billion
Backs", which while not as laugh a second as it could be(still multiple
laughs per minute) is strengthened by being one of the strongest
stories that Futurama has ever ran.
My favorite Futurama episode finds Bender floating in space alone, and a tiny microscopic colony grows onto his back, and begins worshiping him as their God, in trying to help improve their lives, he ultimately destroys them all, and then encounters a large energy being in the middle of space, who for all intense and purposes is the God...who doesn't seem to know who he is or what he is doing, but knows that God can't please everyone and if his job is done right no one "should" know he exists at all.. moments like that are the reason I watched Futurama in the first place, and its the kind of thinking that produced "The Beast With A Billion Backs", which is possibly the most unique, thought provoking, and amusing love story, I've ever seen in an animated film, or maybe ever.
It's a metaphysical love story, with inter-dimensional sea monsters and robotic demonic pirates, it's a story of infidelity and jealousy (not just with Fry, consider the subplot of Kif and Amy, compare Fry's first relationship with his last, Benders final monologue, etc). Is love personal or universal, can it be shared or must it be guarded, can any kind of perfect love exist within imperfect human conditions? Can/should God love everyone? Because it's Futurama you don't sit down, expecting to be challenged or even moved. "Sorry Bender...Robots don't go to heaven...", but that's just how it ends up.
So no this does not feel like "The Futurama" you've seen a thousand times before, it's best moments are still there, but it has a sense of direction, purpose, and story structure, that's its never had before, and is damned commendable. The best adult cartoon movie since "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut", but as much for the story telling itself as the laughs.
It's the Cthulu Love story of our times!
Network: None; Direct to DVD movie; Genre: Animated Comedy, Sci-Fi;
Content Rating: Unrated (contains animated violence, gore, scatological
humor and suggested sex); Available: only on DVD; Perspective:
contemporary (star range: 1 - 4);
The surprises of "Futurama's" 2nd direct-to-DVD feature-length movie adventure start right from the beginning, when it picks up mere days after the events of "Bender's Big Score" turning what appeared to be a throw away gag at the end of that movie into the catalyst for this one.
Like an average episode of Fox's red-headed stepchild of a masterpiece, "The Beast With A Billion Backs" starts out as one thing and goes some pretty outlandish and unpredictable places. Places sick, twisted and wildly imaginative. Places only "Futurama" with all of it's delirious cynical sacrilege can go. To describe the unfolding plot in detail would do a disservice to it, but suffice to say it involves a new love (guest star Brittney Murphy) for Fry (Billy West) - welcome after the labored Fry/Leela (always reliable Katey Sagal) story - Bender's (John DiMaggio) quest to prove the existence of The League of Robots, the marriage & death of a major character and a rip in the universe that unleashes the title monster.
But here's the answer to the real question: for my money, yes, "Billion" is better than "Big Score". A lot better. The giddy excitement to be back that bubbled out of "Score" and made that movie passable has now settled down into the business of actual storytelling and laugh generating. This time, instead of simply parading out favorite characters to have their random moment, the likes of Calculon, the Robot Devil, Zapp Brannigan and Richard Nixon all appear in service of the story. A story, such as it is, so crazy it will send eyes rolling to the back of the head of anyone but the most hardcore "Futurama" fan.
When the multi-tentacle beast (voiced by David Cross) shows up it affords the show opportunities to dig deep into some of their favorite red meat sacred cows - dating and religion - in addition to the monster movie mayhem. This movie and it's metaphors may not appeal to the young fan who stumbled on "Futurama" on free TV, but I loved every insane second of it. If you go in expecting anything less than absolute lunacy you will be totally lost with "Billion". It's probably a blessing in disguise that this movie was never pitched for the big screen. Direct to DVD gives Matt Groening, David X. Cohen and crew the chance to pitch the movie straight to the fans. They go absolutely wild, bouncing around the feature, indulging and expanding in some of their most twisted desires. Like the best "Futurama" episodes, "Billion" is unpredictable, alive with imagination and far too original for mainstream consumption.
The jokes are back with that same nonsensical, but sharp and on-story wit we've come to expect from this show. "Futurama" was never the funniest thing around, but "Billion" has a high ratio of landed jokes and real laugh-out-loud moments. But best of all, director Peter Avanzino (of some of the show's best episodes: "X-Mas Story", "Parasites Lost" and "Fear of a Bot Planet") ropes this madness into a strong, cohesive story that fills feature length without feeling like 4 episodes cobbled together and makes sense in it's own wonderfully weird way.
Let me repeat that: "The Beast With A Billion Backs" feels like a real movie instead of 4 episodes. Few TV shows can nail this and "Futurama" gets it right on the 2nd try. "Billion" doesn't have a big movie ending and that ending comes about 20 minutes longer than it feels like it should, but it does work.
Here is an epic adventure for the Planet Express crew worthy of a movie format. Now we've got a struggle for the fate of the universe, multiple story lines balanced to give every character something to do and the show's sense of humor, disgusting pension for gross-out gags, combustible originality and razor sharp satirical wit back on it's game. I love it. This is, in just about every aspect, the "Futurama" movie I've been waiting for.
* * * * / 4
The problem with "Beast With A Billion Backs" isn't the writing, the
storyline, the gags, or the inside references. Those are all just fine.
Not great, but a decided improvement over the convoluted and
fanservice-heavy "Bender's Big Score."
The greater problem -- one that all four DVD movies will face -- is that Futurama's fantastic worlds and crazy plots just plain work better in 22-minute episodes than as 90-minute stories. It's hard to keep up the energy and the gags for that long, while also involving all the characters and hitting all the notes Futurama fans want to hear.
"Billion Backs" had its share of slow spots, and gags that should have never escaped the Deleted Scenes part of the DVD. (The "schkler" and "schklee" thing was painful.)
The Yivo storyline could have been done in one focused episode (a la "The Day The Earth Stood Stupid"). The Bender/Calculon story would have been an okay B-story for a 22-minute episode, but it was weak for a feature-length movie. The other subplots weren't any deeper than you'd see in a single episode.
I realize that the movie will be broadcast as individual episodes. They should have made them that way in the first place, and cut out the dull stuff.
If you don't believe me, watch the "lost episode" bonus feature on the DVD. It's a compilation of cut-scenes from the Futurama video game, made into an "episode" of about 30 minutes. While it's nothing special, its fast pace and simple plot work a lot better than the padded-out, hit-and-miss main feature.
Having said all that, "Billion Backs" is a fun story that should appeal to all Futurama fans. There are some great gags, some beloved characters we missed in the first DVD movie, a Futurama-quality plot, and a fun homage to 1950s-style monster horror flicks.
This movie isn't really as bad as everyone seems to be saying. My only problem is it feels rather segmented/disjointed, as if it's 3 separate movies (probably due to the fact that it's basically 3 episodes strung together). Other than that, the jokes, especially in the 1st half hour are fast-paced and hilarious. I laughed way more than I did during Bender's Big Score, which only managed to get a couple chuckles and nostalgic smiles out of me. Really, the only reason there's any problem at all is that they're forcing themselves to write 90 minute episodes, where they really shine in the 30 minute block. If you're a fan of the series, you should (in theory) be quite happy with this.
"Good news, everyone".
First off, this is not as good as the first Futurama movie. There just isn't the same high quality for most of the gags and the story itself isn't quite as funny (although it IS funny).
Now that I've said that I want to add that this is still funnier than about 90% of theatrical releases from the last 5 years and for Futurama fans there really is very little to complain about.
The plot involves a beast from another universe falling in love with absolutely everyone on Earth, Bender doing his usual immoral acts, characters enduring heartbreak and even death and . . . . . . a number of disputes being settled by the superb game known as Death Ball.
If you love the show then you'll be pleased to know that most of the characters get their share of good lines and screen time (although the focus, as ever, tends to stay with Fry and Bender) and there are some enjoyable cameos along the way too. But, as with the first movie, it's not really going to win over too many new converts. Of course, we fans know that everyone else is just missing out anyway so enjoy another outing with the Planet Express crew and keep your senses peeled for more visual gags, references and clever wordplay than you can shake a bunch of tentacles at.
See this if you like: Futurama, Invaders From Mars, Earth Girls Are Easy.
The first movie to come out from the TV show felt a little shaky and
unsure of itself. This is much better, it feels stronger and more
confident and doesn't suffer from the over heightened expectations of
fans like myself that the first film did.
The plot is quite sophisticated for a cartoon but not for a Futurama, the characters are back in their tried and tested roles and it is a great way to spend 90 minutes.
As I have said before I don't think the cartoon format transfers that well to feature length. There are more laughs than in a normal episode but they are spread further apart making the film feel less funny than it actually is.
I am ecstatic that the series of feature lengths are continuing and treasure my copy.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This movie was okay, but not great. The problem with Futurama, unlike
the Simpsons, is that it was always more clever than actually funny.
The producers have realized that the only people who will buy this DVD are the people who followed the original series when it was ham-handed by the Fox Network and then developed a cult following on Cartoon Network. If you are familiar with the series, you will be able to follow what is going on.
The plot, per se, is that a rift has appeared between universes and Fry, after breaking up with his cheating girlfriend, decides to end it all by going into it. He comes back as the new "Space Pope" for a tentacled monster who takes over the minds of everyone. Hilarity ensues... Meanwhile, Bender joins the "League of Robots". There is also a subplot with Kiff and Amy finally tying the knot.
It's fun to watch, but really, they don't actually advance the characters any. They still have Leela and Fry not advancing their relationship any. (What is it with Hollywood where you think sexual tension is more interesting than actual relationships?)
Fun for the fan, not much interest to anyone else.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
We are now halfway through the four planned Futurama feature-length films, and any optimism that was generated by 'Bender's Big Score' has most definitely been killed by 'The Beast with a Billion Backs'. The first one was well written, cute, clever, and often very funny. Sure, the jokes didn't always work, but the story was good and the writers seemed for the most part to be able to avoid reducing the characters to mere caricatures of themselves. The second one was downright idiotic. The characters aren't funny, only annoying. For instance, there's way too much Kif. Kif should never, or at least hardly ever be on screen without Zap. In the new one, he kind of reminds me of Jar Jar Binks, which I'm sure you will agree is no flattering comparison. Zap is also used way too predictably. Fry's new girlfriend is a pointless character. Fry himself contributes little in the way of humour. The writers seem to have converted him into a sniveling, sappy wimp, apparently with the aim of playing off his schmaltziness. But that trait is only endearing when it is occasional. As for the story, it lacks the delicious complexity of the first movie as well as some of the best episodes. The first hour flows like a glacier. The end of the film is the only decent bit, but it is hardly redeeming. Furthermore, the writers had a golden opportunity to make a deep, philosophical point at the end about the way humanity inevitably screws things up when it has a good thing going, but this was shamefully squandered. And finally, the league of robots and Kif/Amy wedding subplots are uninspired and nauseating, respectively, though the former does have its moments. All in all, it will be hard for the third installment to make 'The Beast with a Billion Backs' look good. Let's hope it doesn't.
Upon the very first viewing of this movie, Futurama fans ought to be
willing to pony up the 25 bucks a pop for the next 2 installments in
this series without even thinking twice. Even more so than the Simpsons
theatrical feature, this should stand as Matt Groening's best usage of
the full-length format to tell a story that is at once compelling and
completely hilarious.
Bender steals the show, we all knew it would happen, but the real highlight here is the film's conclusion, which breaches the small-screen feel of the Futurama series to enter the realm of great space epics, with a final outcome that would rival any of Douglas Adams' wildest dreams. Critics of this film should realize that an animated movie isn't going to bring you ultimate happiness, but rather you should enjoy the simple message this film presents, and think twice about the story's moral questions about life, the universe and everything...
Fantastic movie, and some of the best jokes we've ever seen from Philip J. Fry and crew. Can't wait for the next one...

The present invention pertains to processes for the utilization of cellulosic starch and protein-containing waste products such as bran from cereal and flour mills and broken pieces and crumbs of baked goods from bakeries by converting the starch therein into protein-containing nutriments and supplements for animal feeds that are richer in proteins and accordingly more valuable than the original waste products.
In the production of cereal products, large quantities of waste products are produced which are used almost exclusively for animal feeds that nonetheless have inferior nutritional value. Considerable quantities of such cellulosic starch and protein-containing waste products are produced, for example, in the production of baked goods such as biscuits and crackers in bakeries. Furthermore, such bran is also produced in the milling of flour and other cereals.
Processes are known for the conversion of starches and starch-like substances into protein-containing plants, such as yeast cells or solids. One such process, which is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,105,799, consists in symbiotically cultivating in a substratum consisting essentially of potatoes or similar vegetable material containing starch with two microorganisms, namely, one which hydrolyzes starch, such as Endomycopsis fibuliger, and a sugar-fermenting yeast, and separating the yeast plants that were grown therein during the fermentation, which yeast plants can be used as a nutriment. Such waste products, however, also contain a substantial portion of highly valuable proteins which had heretofore been overlooked or ignored.
Processes have also been described for the recovery of proteins by ultrafiltration but such processes have been heretofore used chiefly in the dairy industry, for example, for recovery of proteins from milk, for example, in an apparatus such as is described in German published application No. 2,220,308.
The principal object of the present invention is to provide a process for the production of valuable proteins or protein-containing nutrients from the aforementioned cellulosic starch and protein-containing waste products. Other objects and advantages of the invention, some of which are referred to hereinafter, will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which it pertains.
The foregoing object is achieved in accordance with the processes of the present invention, in which process the cellulosic starch and protein-containing waste product is first subjected to hydrolysis to convert the starches therein into glucose or other fermentable sugars, the resulting suspension is then subjected to ultrafiltration to separate the glucose-containing liquid from the protein-containing solids remaining therein. These protein-containing solids are also valuable nutriments. Thereafter the glucose-containing liquid is inoculated with a yeast such as Candida utilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae or Hansenula polymorpha, or a species of Lactobacillus or Aerobacter bacteria that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the production of nutriments, and the yeast or bacterium is aerobically cultivated therein. The yeast or bacterium that has been grown therein is then recovered by conventional methods. Both the yeast or bacterial plants that are thus grown, as well as the protein-containing solids that have been recovered in the ultrafiltration step, are valuable sources of protein and may be used not only for the production of animal feeds and fodder but also in human nutrition.
The invention is described further in connection with the examples which follow, which were selected solely for purposes of illustration and consequently are not to be construed as restrictive of the invention or its scope.
The general procedure for carrying out the process of my invention that is described in this example is a preferred method and is used in all of the subsequent examples that are referred to hereinafter.
One thousand (1000) grams of comminuted defatted zwieback crumbs were stirred into 3 liters of water in an autoclave to which 30 milliliters of concentrated hydrochloric acid (32% by weight of hydrogen chloride) was then added and the suspension was then heated at a temperature of 120� C for a period of approximately 2 hours, during which period it was stirred vigorously. At the end of this period, no starch could be detected in the mixture, indicating that it had been completely hydrolyzed. The resulting hydrolyzed mixture contained between 500 and 700 grams of glucose which was identified by chromatography. This mixture was then diluted with tap water to a volume of approximately 20 liters and subjected to ultrafiltration to separate and recover the protein-containing solids therefrom. Suitable ultrafiltration apparatus that is commercially available may be used for this purpose. The filtrate contains between 500 and 700 grams of fermentable glucose and has a concentration of between 25 and 30 grams per liter.
Three (3) liters of this glucose solution is then placed into a fermentor having a capacity of 7 liters and 15 milliliters of concentrated phosphoric acid (85% by weight of phosphoric acid) and nutrient salts that are required for growth were added thereto. Ammonium hydroxide was then added to the solution in such an amount as to bring the hydrogen-ion concentration of the solution to a value corresponding to a pH of 4.0 and the mixture was sterilized by heating it for 20 minutes at a temperature of 121� C, after which it was cooled to a temperature between 28� and 32� C and inoculated with a culture of Candida utilis yeast in an amount equivalent to between 2 and 5 grams (dry weight) of the yeast. The fermentation is then continued at a temperature of approximately 32� C while air at a rate between 0.5 to 1.0 vvm (liters per minute and working volume) is bubbled through the fermenting culture for a period of approximately 25 hours, or until all of the glucose has been completely consumed by the yeast for its growth and additional yeast cells have been produced.
After the fermentation has been completed, the entire mass of solid living yeast cells was separated in a centrifuge, washed with water, having a solids content between approximately 16 and 20% on a dry-weight basis. The yeast solids were then dried further to a solids content of approximately 93% in a drum drier. The drying could alternatively have been effected by spray-drying.
The yield of solid yeast cellular matter on a dry-weight basis was 50 grams which is between 45 and 48% relative to the weight of the glucose that was fermented. The yeast thus produced by cultivation of Candida utilis contained 7% by weight of water, approximately 50% by weight of protein (determined by the Kjeldahl method), approximately 30% by weight of nonnitrogeneous compounds, 5.1% by weight of fat, and 7.6% by weight of ash. It had a nucleic acid content of 9.3% by weight and the amino acid content of the proteins in the yeast were as follows: aspartic acid 10.4%, threonine 5.8%, serine 6.0%, glutamic acid 12.4%, proline 3.5%, glycine 5.1%, alanine 6.7%, valine 5.3%, methionine 2.0%, isoleucine 4.7%, leucine 7.9%, tyrosine 5.3%, phenylalanine 7.1%, lysine 8.0%, histidine 2.5%, arginine 5.8%, and tryptophan 0.8%.
The yeast solids thus produced can be used as a protein-rich supplement for addition to poultry, cattle, and hog feeds in amounts between 10 and 30% by weight. It is also suitable for use as a yeast nutrient in human nutrition.
One thousand (1000) grams of finely ground defatted zwieback crumbs were stirred into 20 liters of water and the suspension was then made homogeneous by vigorous stirring. A small amount of alpha-amylase was then added to the suspension and the mixture was allowed to stand for such a period and at such a temperature that the starch therein was completely hydrolyzed. The resulting hydrolyzed mixture was then subjected to ultrafiltration as in Example 1 and the filtrate was inoculated with a culture of Candida utilis yeast as in Example 1. The fermentation and recovery of the yeast solids from the fermentation broth were completed as described hereinbefore in connection with Example 1.
Instead of using zwieback as in Example 1, 1000 grams of finely ground defatted cake crumbs which on a weight basis consisted of 4.9% water, 16.0% of sucrose, 1.5% of sodium chloride, and 77.6% of starch, were substituted therefor and in all other respects the procedure describe in Example 1 was repeated.
The yeast solids that were recovered did not differ to any substantial extent from the product that was described in Example 1 and the amount that was obtained was equivalent to 55 grams on a dry-weight basis.
One thousand (1000) grams of defatted wheat bran were substituted for the zwieback crumbs that were used in Example 1 and the procedure therein described was repeated with essentially the same results.
Although alpha-amylase was used in Example 2, it is to be understood that other known starch-hydrolyzing enzymes may be substituted therefor. Other acids that are known to be capable of hydrolyzing starch may also be used instead of the hydrochloric acid that was used in Example 1.
Furthermore, instead of using an enzyme, the hydrolysis may be effected by cultivation in the dispersion of a microorganism that is known to be capable of hydrolyzing the starch, such as a microorganism of the group Endomycopsis, such as, for example, the species Endomycopsis fibuliger. The microorganism is then separated from the hydrolyzed dispersion before the dispersion is subjected to ultrafiltration or is separated with the other solids during the ultrafiltration step.
When bacteria are used instead of fungi as in Example 1, the fermentation is completed after a period of 20 hours at most.
When the cultivation or fermentation is conducted in a continuous manner with yeast, a residence period of the broth in the fermentor of approximately 4 to 5 hours must be allowed for completion of the fermentation, whereas a residence period of only 2 hours at most is required in a continuous bacterial fermentation.
Without further analysis, the foregoing will so fully reveal the gist of the present invention that others can, by applying current knowledge, readily adapt it for various applications without omitting features that, from the standpoint of prior art, fairly constitute essential characteristics of the generic or specific aspects of this invention.

All About Pierre McGuire
by Paul on 05/05/16 at 01:56 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Alex Prewitt of Sports Illustrated,
Indeed, to spend a day with McGuire is to get swept into his world of unbridled enthusiasm for the sport. Old stories are told with widened eyes and preceded by a tap on the knee, as though signaling that it's time to listen up. On the production truck, his NBC Sports colleagues will often hear his voice piped through the speakers, offering rah-rah words of encouragement in the middle of broadcasts. Get after it! That was a great package! That's why NBC is the best! Even his steady drumbeat of players' hometowns and junior teams serves a purpose in McGuire's mind. "I think it's the journey, the journey for all these guys," he says. "That's what matters to me the most."...
A Sports Emmy winner who at last check has worked 21 postseason games in 22 days, pausing only because no NHL teams played on April 26, McGuire, 54, is a former college and NHL coach, scout and assistant GM (and, in the interest of full disclosure, occasional contributor to Sports Illustrated magazine). He wears his love of hockey on his sleeve, his wedding band on one hand and, on the other, one of the two Stanley Cup rings he won as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1991 and '92.

It's A Small Market Stanley Cup Playoffs
by Paul on 04/27/16 at 09:58 AM ET
Comments (17)
from Kevin McGran of the Toronto Star,
Certainly someone should have seen this coming: An NHL playoffs dominated by non-tradtional markets.
And as much as commissioner Gary Bettman might want to pat himself on the back for making hockey viable in such places, there has to be concern when hockey's biggest markets tune out.
-All of the Canadian teams are out.
-All of the Original Six teams are out.
-Buffalo, which cares about the NHL as much as any city, is out.
-All of the big markets are out. Unless you count the New York Islanders as a big market. Don't think New Yorkers do, but, okay.
So who's watching? We'll give the Islanders a share of the biggest TV market in the United States.

Chris King With The Call For The New York Islanders
by Paul on 04/25/16 at 06:04 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Neil Best of Newsday,
Yes, yes, yes, Chris King had part of his call for the biggest Islanders goal in nearly a quarter century "tucked away" in advance.
No, no, no, it will not be recycled, no matter how far they advance.
"There will be one 'Yes! Yes! Yes!' and that one I want to leave where it is and never use it again," he said Monday, a day after authoring a memorable soundtrack to a memorable moment: John Tavares' double-overtime goal to defeat the Panthers, 2-1, and send the Islanders to the second round.
"That's the way I'll leave it and be happy with it."
Most fans should be happy with it, too, and it could not have been uttered by a better media representative of the long struggle for playoff prosperity....
So King is enjoying this ride as much as anyone, an "unbelievable" experience, never more so than Monday, when his voice was all over the media map.
ESPN's "SportsCenter" played his calls of all three Islanders overtime goals against Florida. That was only the start.
