Here's what the revamped and diverse new Xbox Avatars look like
@carmagainagain I would say it is a shorter way of saying "contains material some may find offensive and/or disturbing."
What level you think trigger warnings should apply varies from person to person. If an article might discuss, say, rape, it's fair to say that upfront so that someone who might have a negative reaction to rape won't be surprised half way through. With something like South Park however, I'd argue that it doesn't need a trigger warning as everyone knows what it is like going in.
However, YMMV. Someone will no doubt pull out an example of someone being unbelievably precious, as if an extreme counter argument makes the whole thing pointless. Otherwise, it's just a matter of being considerate and polite. Reply +7
Elite Dangerous patch notes accidentally references horrific United Airlines incident
@Machiavellian nope. You are 100% wrong. For starters, it wasn't private property... it was a business. If you're shopping in Sainsburys, security aren't allowed to order random people out of the shop without a reason.
The passenger was in no way obligated to leave the flight. There are laws about preventing boarding in the event of overbooking, but nothing about removing a passenger who had already boarded and taken his seat. If you can find you can find the law that says that the Doctor had to get off the flight when ordered, please share it. Reply +5

How Football Manager 2017 is making football fans panic about Brexit
I'm not sure why a European Federation is a bad thing. A group of countries who have decides it's better to be on the same team as each other and work together sounds like a brilliant thing. But maybe it's the old Star Trek fan in me. Reply +3
@smallblueslime "Yes, almost every economists prediction following Brexit has been proved utterly false."
Which parts? The bribing of life companies like Nissan to stay here (which screws over all small to medium companies who don't have that clout)? The extra �122 billion in borrowing? The rising living costs? Toblerone looking ridiculous?
There are two outcomes:
1. Economy goes into the shitter. Remainers are blamed for talking the country down and not trying hard enough.
2. Things go okay. Remainers are laughed at for being wrong. Like how computer scientists are laughed at for there not being a massive computer collapse at the millennium, ignoring the work put in to prevent that happening.
Oh, and as you full well know, we haven't actually left yet. Reply +11
Smegging hell, Lego Dimensions has added a Red Dwarf area
@jabberwocky the orchestral theme was the same melody. Just orchestrated different. You're talking about the Re-mastered versions of seasons 1-3 they did back in the late 90s which merged the s1-2 and s3-11 themes together. They haven't used the Re-mastered versions on TV for years. All Dave repeats are of the original versions, and the DVDs (except the limited edition Bodysnatcher collection) use the original versions too.
(I do also love the orchestral version, BTW. This is just my music A-level kicking in and causing me to be overly pedantic. Both versions are "remixes" of "Fun, fun, fun". It's just one is orchestral and the other is a fast paced rock version with guitar solo.) Reply +3
@jabberwocky the original opening was the same time (ie, still "fun, fun, fun"). It was just done in a 2001 Also Sprach Zarathustra style. The ending theme has been exactly the same since the first episode (and it has hidden lyrics! http://www.digitalspy.com/tv/red-dwarf/news/a811846/red-dwarf-theme-song-lyrics-no-one-knew-about/ ) Reply +5
Sony announces PlayStation 4 Pro for November 2016, priced �349
@JensWeissflog how often do people replace their TVs? For a few years it seemed it was quite often, as the standard lept up from 28" to, what, 42"? 50"? The move to HD also helped that. But my admittedly casual checking shows that lots are happy with their TVs and don't feel any pressing need to go any bigger. The 4K message doesn't seem to be getting through to people in the way the HD one did. Reply +4

Watch: The bad guys who had a point, now we think about it
South Park: The Fractured But Whole lets you play as a girl
@Skirlasvoud You appear to have some issues when it comes to women.
Too many games like Mass Effect, where FemShep is instantly hailed as an exemplary female hero, without having done anything or faced anything that women in our world do.Mass Effect is a game where Shepard saves the universe multiple times. It is set in the future. Shepard is a highly trained military officer and later a Super Secret Agent type. What should she be facing that "women in our world do"? Do you want strangers on the Citadel to sexually harrass her as she walks past?
It makes sense that Mass Effect doesn't really acknowledge the difference between male and female Shepard, because it is set in the future and the main character is a super-professional. South Park: TFBH is set in the present day and features 8 year old kids playing dress-up. It would be silly for it NOT to address the gender difference.
(I'm not even going to get into your desire to see Butters's apparent bloodlust towards wanting to hurt girls.)
I'll also say that everyone going "yeah, finally, we get some jokes about girls that the PC crowd won't like!" might not be quite getting the point of most South Park comedy. Reply +7
Former Valve employee is suing the company for $3.1m
@Fourfoldroot it would include things like cost of healthcare coverage. An important point is that in the US, healthcare is not free. If you are potentially going to be unable to work, and a lengthy hospital stay (for cancer, a stroke, or any of a hundred other things that could happen to any of us) might cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars, then damn right you'd ask for millions.

@AnsemsApprentice no, proper nerds would argue that Batman definitely IS a superhero. He has several superpowers. He is a supergenius. He is super prepared for any (literally ANY) situation. And he is super wealthy to the point where he essentially he unlimited money.
The guy has beaten the entire JLA by himself. He's beaten the living embodiment of evil in the DCU in Darkseid. Doesn't get much more "super" than that. Reply 0

Baldur's Gate: SoD head of studio addresses political backlash
I'm always confuses by the "tokenism" argument, as if having better representation of people who aren't straight white men is somehow a Bad Thing. And yeah, I know some people justify it by saying that the character isn't well written, but it sounds like she is a typical RPG vendor... Exactly how much depth do those tend to have?

Elite Dangerous: Horizons launches today
Anyone following the bug-riddled mess of the Horizons beta test over the last few weeks will know why.Nothing shows that gamers don't really understand development(and why Early Access et al are potential mistakes) more than someone complaining that a beta test was "bug-riddled". A beta. A beta test. The clue is in the words. Reply +3
@melonfarmer Ageist AND sexist in a single post. You must be a hit at parties. Reply +2
@weebl You got over 100 hours of enjoyment out of �50, which is a pretty good deal. I'm not sure what the issue is? The game might not have an endpoint, but you might stop enjoying it. That doesn't mean it's bad. If you enjoyed it for 100 hours and then didn't enjoy hours 101-105, then stop playing. You will still have had 100 hours of fun.
This does raise another point; I also bought the beta, but quickly decided to stop playing and wait for the full game. I think a lot of people threw a lot of hours into the beta, and got burned out. No matter how much was added, you were still playing 50-70% of the finished game. Reply 0
It's Back to the Future Day! Here's an iconic scene recreated in GTA5
"If you look at the black guy in the 1955s soda shop, as portrayed in Back to the Future, I find it racist."I really don't get your point. People are racist TO the black guy (Goldie Wilson), but the whole point of that scene is to show that racism LOSES. The shop owner (who definitely is racist) makes a point of saying that there will never be a black mayor. Marty and the movie have told us that isn't true.
The movie makes a lot of points about the past. Some of those points are basically "things weren't actually that different from how they are now", but they don't shy away from the bad stuff like the racism. It's not front and center, but it's there, and the movie explicitely condemns it. Reply +3
Voice actors strike has been authorised
"The time will come when computer A.I will mimic any actor today. Developers can then use this new future tech to implement how thay choose in there game. That's the day these greedy so called actors need to worry about the most. The people I have the most respect for is the development team who are actually under extreme pressure everyday from the high suits,not these so called actors that may pop in once every month for afew hours. There be no need for these so called actors to go on strike then because there be replaced by new tech that will benefit devs freely. I would welcome this when it happens."Between the joy at making people losing their jobs and the repeated use of the phrase "so called...", I declare this to be the most Daily Mail comment on this thread.

*clears throat* I think you'll find that the character's name is actually "Doctor Who's Monster".
(Also, it'll be Hurt's Doctor who's (ha!) missing. He's "The War Doctor", so he doesn't count in the numbers because they don't want to have to move everyone from Ecclestone onwards up one number. I'm sure he'll be there though as an unlockable or paid-for bit of DLC.)

Video: When video games got space really, really right
@FogHeart I can't rememeber if it was Babylon 5 or another show, but apparently when in preproduction they experimented with having no sounds during the space scenes. They said it killed all the atmosphere (no pun intended). I think silence works for things like 2001 that are going for a certain tone, but Star Wars without that TIE Fighter sound? Rubbish. Reply +5
Actor in Donkey Kong costume suffers heart injury, sues Nintendo
I'm slightly worried for the empathy of the human race that several people's first thought after reading about someone who has had such a serious heart condition that he's had to have a permanent heart defibrillator implanted is "well, he probably knew he had a bad heart, so he took a job that would risk his health and possibly his life in the vain hope that he would then be able to sue the company."

Transformers retrospective
@ProtoformX " I'm reading the current comics (Which are great & nothing to do with the films) and I'd notice that suddenly a character would get a redesign. There would be a narrative reason for it, but it would be very sudden and just when you're wondering why, Hasbro will release a figure in that appearance."
Well, that goes all the way back to the 80s. Why did Megatron become Galvatron? To sell a toy! Why did Optimus Prime get a Powermaster upgrade? To sell a toy! The Marvel comic in particular was full of this stuff.

@BellyFullOfHell there is no way I'm accepting that 1988 Springer is a better toy than 2013 Springer. Boxy bricks who could move their shoulders and nothing else that "transformed" by lying down and tucking their legs and arms in. The line now is both for young kids getting their first figure, and old fans who can't believe they make a toy of frigging Staxus.
If you like Transformers but don't like the films, there's plenty of other stuff. Transformers Prime has just finishd and was pretty good (although not a patch on Tranformers Animated, which preceeded it.) The two current comics are awesome.
So yeah, current Transformers are brilliant. Unless you think that everything was awesome when you were a kid and sucks now in which case I can't help you. Reply 0
When will we see a gay protagonist in a triple-A game?
It's heartening how many people are "I wouldn't mind a gay character, as long as it's relevent to the story, otherwise it's just tokenism". Because obviously being white and straight is some sort of default, so to be anything else you have to have a reason. Like how if they're making an action film and looking for a lead male, they should only cast Will Smith if there is a good reason for him to be black. Otherwise everyone will just spend the whole film saying "why is that man black? It makes no sense." Reply +5
@manic_mouse Lots of black people use the n word, and they are (usually) not racist. Words are extremely complicated things and trying to sort out the arguments behind "gay", "pussy" and things like that is not going to be accomplished on a Eurogamer comments thread. Suffice to say that there are some homosexual people who will use "gay" to mean "bad", and others that hate it when it's used in that way. At the very least, can we agree that using a word that defines someones sexuality to also mean that something is crap is not perhaps an ideal situation?

Microsoft releases new Xbox One firmware update
I think that Internet Explorer IS part of the kernel in Windows. And to be fair, Windows only needs one reboot as well. You install the updates, then reboot. Our Red Hat servers at work get restarted just as much as the Windows ones do. The difference with the XO seems to be that rather than installing the updates while the system is active (like Windows and Linux) it needs the machine to start from cold and not be used (so more like an iPhone, I guess).

Lost Humanity 8: Days of Nothing
"Her mother isn't especially girly so her preference for floral dresses and pink toys didn't come from her and she was, for the most part so far, home-schooled so it's unlikely that peer pressure lead to here preferences."The problem with that argument is that is assumes that pink is natually a girly colour. Less than a hundred years ago, baby boys were dressed in pink and baby girls were dressed in blue, because pink was a "stronger" colour.
It would be almost impossible to determine if cultural pressure plays a part in stuff like this. You say this girl was "mainly" home-schooled, but did she spend any time around people her own age? Watching television? Did she ever wander into a toy shop and see that while the boys aisle was full of colour, the girls one was pretty much wall to wall pink? Reply +1
I am arguing that white privilege doesn't exist because it implies all whites have it, which they don't. You are arguing that the white race, is, in general, in a privileged position compared to other races.They are kind of the same thing. Sure, not all white people are rich. But I bet you a bottom of the rung white person would have better luck trying to find a job than a bottom of the rung black person, if all other things are equal.
It's like the article "Straight White Male - the lowest difficulty setting there is" states: there are rich black females. There are poor white males. But by and large, in the vast majority of cases, a straight white person will find things easier in life than a gay black female. Reply 0

Due to my (sometimes) controversial posts, I'm contemplating on whether or not I should change my blog to private or just password protect some of my posts.
I will most likely go with the later.
This is not because I'm afraid of opposing opinions or views, but because I want to protect my identity when it comes to these type of posts.
As you know, liberals can be very vicious and don't have any qualms butting in and ruining somebody's livelihood. I'm just trying to protect my future.
Anyway, just expect to see some changes in a few days (or hours).

This course includes:
The content of this course is drawn from the major thought leaders and researchers in the field. It is broken into easily digestible sound bits and offers opportunities for reflection and specific, easy to implement strategies that will change the way your team generates ideas.
I am a licensed school psychologist with a Masters of Science (M.S.) & Educational Specialist Degree (Ed.D.) in School Psychology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. After I graduated, I was an adjunct professor at the University of Nebraska at Omaha teaching in the Psychology department. That experience began my love for teaching, questioning, and collaborating with students.
As a school psychologist in my practice, I administer educational assessments which include IQ assessments. After studying and giving IQ assessments for a few years, I grew frustrated with how these tests measure intelligence. I felt intelligence was so much more than selecting a picture that completes a pattern or remembering a set of numbers. Students would give me these impressive, creative answers to questions on the IQ test but I could never count them as right because they were not in the answer book - that bothered me. Thus began my interest in creativity and how to cultivate, measure, and nurture it because I saw it as an intelligence and a vital life skill.
I decided to continue my education after being a school psychologist to give me more opportunities to learn about interest in creativity . I went back to school and graduated with a Doctorate of Education (Ed.D). in Interdisciplinary Leadership Studies. During this time creativity was my focus of research and projects. For my dissertation, I traveled to various advertising agencies in the Midwest and interviewed the creatives at each agency on how their organization and leader can help them be most creative.
I loved conducing this research project so much, I started a creativity consulting firm, Axle Rev, to continue my work and help organizations discover how they can cultivate creativity. I co-founded Axle with my father, Kent McCuddin, who has been a creative director in the advertising industry for over 30 years. He also has a passion for creativity and has given many lectures on how to be creative that he called Brain Therapy sessions and has spoken at many events including TEDxOmaha. The mission of Axle Rev is promote the value of creativity and help individuals, leaders, and organizations foster creative intelligence.

Fun, but flawed.
For a first game, this isn't bad, but there are flaws that need to be addressed. Let me explain...
Graphics: You did an excellent job on the graphics considering that you're a renowned artist. However, there wasn't much in terms of character animation. If this was developed for an old, outdated game system, I'd understand. But, for a Stencyl game it just doesn't feel and look right.
Sound: While I do like the voice clips and the theme song; there wasn't much thought put into the sound effect and music variety. I mean, there is an audio section on this site and would suggest that you scour it for songs. However, the song used was pretty catchy.
Gameplay/Content: Nice throwback to old Nintendo/Sega/Atari/Commodore games and fun to boot. On the other hand, there are three things that should have been sanded out before release. One, the control scheme used wasn't very intuitive to platforming considering that it's the Stencyl/old computer default. I think that fully customizable keys would have made this a much more comfortable experience. Second, as two previous reviewers have mentioned, the hit detection is inconsistent at times regarding enemy projectiles. Thirdly, while I do like the level design and the aforementioned graphics; the stage size results in the whole thing feeling claustrophobic.
The Good:
-Nice graphics
-Catchy theme song
-Nice voice clips
-Good level design
The Bad:
-Lack of sound variety
-Clumsy control scheme
-Inconsistent hit detection
-Small screen size results in everything being cramped
Overall: It's not bad for a first, but the flaws prevent it from being a shining example. Here's a nine and I hope that you learn from your mistakes. (4.5/5)
took a while to load. Graphically, the game is pretty good. The controls are okay, doesn't need any coaxing at all to work. the one complaint I must make though was hit detection. Often, I got hit by nothing, clearly dodging a shot or an attack from a droneball and it killed me. a bit irking, I got quite a ways before game over. an alright game, could have been better. + on the wilhelm scream :D
it needs to have it so you can get hit more than once before you die -.- but if that is added i could stand to play it :)
getting hit once and reseting is a little ridiculous. Other than that, it's okay.
I am impressed

Miranda Kerr Talks Family & Husband Orlando Bloom's Theatre Life
Supermodel Miranda Kerr discusses her home life with son and recognizable screen star and current Romeo & Juliet Broadway leading man Orlando Bloom while he treads the board eight times a week as part of a new interview.
In commenting upon how Kerr and Bloom's son, Flynn, sees their disparate professions, she asserts, "Flynn says Mommy works and Daddy plays, because Daddy is in a play... so that makes sense."
As for modeling itself and the personalities and lifestyle it oftentimes enswathes, Kerr says, "Models are some of the most insecure people I've ever met. They're constantly being told they're not good enough. You've really got to practice loving yourself."
In remarking upon her husband's recent Broadway bow in the currently-running Shakespearean tragedy Romeo & Juliet, directed by David Leveaux, Kerr says, "When I saw Orlando on Broadway in Romeo and Juliet, I was blown away."
Kerr continues, "For someone to be able to learn all that and hold the energy to do it every day, six days a week - I have so much respect for him."
But, does she ever help Orlando out with his acting homework at home? Unfortunately not! Kerr relates,
"We don't run lines though. We keep that very separate."
The model concludes, "That would be like me asking him to teach me how to catwalk."

text: So my foreman has been complaining about the lack of work around here lately due to no snow.....I have been busy working on commercial leads for the past two weeks. I was thinking of having him call some potential customers and prospect to keep him busy. I don't want to pay him by the hour because he will slack, I know it. I was thinking of paying him a certain amount for every contact he makes and gets a bid lined up. Has anyone done something similar to this? I usually target direct mail and don't telemarket. I,personally, haven't had success this way. I basically want to do this to help the guy out. What do you guys think? Any advice from people with experience in this is much appreciated!

Please confirm that you want to add AngularJS Authentication: Secure Your App with Auth0 to your Wishlist.
Authentication for traditional web applications is fairly straight-forward: we send our credentials to the server, a session is created, and a cookie is returned to be saved in the browser. This method works well for round-trip applications, but it isn't a good way to do authentication in modern single page apps, like those built with AngularJS.
In this course we are going to learn about the challenges associated with traditional authentication and how to use what is arguably the best alternative: the JSON Web Token.
Using that knowledge, we'll implement authentication in an AngularJS app that makes calls to an Express API. We'll cover how to address all the challenges associated with keeping a single page application in check when it comes to stateless authentication. This can be a tricky matter since the front end and backend apps are effectively separated, but we'll find out how to leverage our user's JWT to address the challenges.
We'll use Auth0 as an identity and authentication server so that we don't have to roll our own.
Thanks for taking the course! I'm Ryan, and I want to teach you how to secure your AngularJS application with JSON Web Tokens.
Let's take a look at the application we'll build and where you can get the source code.
Traditional session-based authentication for web applications has worked well up until now, but there are limitations to this approach when building single page applications. Let's look at how traditional authentication works and the associated problems.
Adding authentication to AngularJS apps can be tricky. Let's look at what the challenges are and how we can solve them.
JSON Web Token (JWT) is an open standard for transmitting claims securely. This means it can be used as an authentication mechanism, and it turns out that it's the perfect way to authenticate an AngularJS app.
To add authentication to our AngularJS app we need to be able to issue JSON Web Tokens. We could write the code to do this ourselves, but Auth0 does it for us for free. Let's register and configure our account.
We need an AngularJS application to add authentication to. Let's set up a simple app that will have a home and profile route.
We need some methods for allowing users to log in and log out. Let's create those methods and use them to call Auth0's Lock widget so that we can retrieve a JWT for the user.
Since the AngularJS app is stateless with respect to the backend, whenever we refresh the page, the user's authentication status will be lost. Let's set up some logic to fix this.
What happens if the user sends a request with an invalid JWT that gets rejected by the server? Ideally we should redirect them to the spot they login from automatically. Let's set up some logic to handle that.
Many people prefer to authenticate into an application using a social identity provider. Let's see how we can easily set up Twitter as a social provider.
Multi-factor authentication can strengthen our application's security in a big way. Let's see how we can apply it to our authentication flow.
Thanks for taking the course!
Ryan is a full-stack JavaScript developer and works mostly with Angular and Node. He's a Google Developer Expert, Product Owner at Auth0, and also runs Angularcasts.io, a screencast site offering end-to-end Angular and JavaScript training.
When he's not coding, Ryan is hanging out with his wife, playing guitar, or nerding out about outer space.

I was born in Alhambra but was lucky enough to have had parents who realized that raising a kid at the beach would be better than in the shade of the 10 freeway.
So they moved us to Surfside Colony when I was barely out of diapers. Best thing they ever could have done for me. Instead of a street punk I grew up as a beach brat, way better deal in my opinion.
That was in the early 1950's and surfing was in its early bohemian stage and the general public viewed it as some hair-brained stunt that was solely performed by a small band of beatniks and beach bums. The boards were solid wood in those days and the number of surf spots that were popular in the O.C. could be counted on your fingers, with probably a finger or two left over.
Hahaha, I guess knowing the surfer attitude in those days I can pretty much predict which finger that would have been, too.
The main route from Seal Beach, at the north, to San Clemente, at the south, was Pacific Coast Highway. The trip from one end to the other was known as a "surf safari." Most of the avid surfers of the era knew each other or at least knew of each other. When you were visiting one of the breaks away from your own it was common to get invited to dinner or to spend the night at a local surfer's home. Surfing was a real brotherhood.
Orange County is abundant with surf all year round and offers all variety of wave conditions. We have hard-breaking beach breaks such as Huntington and Newport Beaches. We have perfect points such as the Trestles area south of San Clemente. Heavy reef breaks such as in Laguna Beach and great easy beginner breaks like Doheny, Bolsa Chica and San Onofre Surf Beach. The O.C. has it all, a true Mecca for surfers.
Add to this one of the great climates in the world and you can see why surfing has flourished here over the years. Today you can count the number of popular surf spots within a five mile stretch of beach on both hands and both feet of 14 people. Every little nook and cranny where there is a rideable peak has its own group of locals and a name. The other day I surfed "17th Peak."
Not to blow the location and anger the pack of guys who surf there every day I can only say that this was the 17th peak away from a certain landmark either to the south or north. I guess it should be called "17th Peak South," or "17th Peak North." Anyway, you get the picture.
The downside of the extreme popularity of surfing in O.C. is that it has become crowded. The upside is that there is so much surf and so many spots that if you are really tuned in you can get waves almost every day of the year and have a great session.
From my early days on an air matt and onto wood boards, then foam boards, then short boards, back to longboards and back to short again, and now in the middle, I have 60 years of surfing time on these beaches. There are some with more but not too many. I have surfed all over the world and can testify that there are not many better places in the world for a surfer to live than right here.
Orange County has always been my base of action and even though I spend a lot of time in the tropics these days this beautiful little county will always be home for me. Hawaii is wonderful and Australia has its merits. And of course I love Mexico and its tropical surf spots and warm water.
These are the jewels of the crown of surfing and none shine brighter than our very own little stretch of beautiful coastline right here.
Orange County rocks.

An unexpected path sparks UBC's online learning era
On her first visit to Vancouver from Serbia in 1997, Dr. Natasha Boskic, then a translator, arrived at UBC to take a Continuing Studies course in order to improve her English language, communication and negotiation skills.
Today, nearly twenty years later, she's immigrated to Canada, completed a PhD and works as the Senior Manager of Learning Design with UBC's Faculty of Education, where she has worked on the development of 120 fully online courses – the highest number produced by a Faculty at UBC. (more…)

Empowering youth in Kenya and at home
It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students—and a yearly experience for Colleen Poeta. As program coordinator of the Sauder Social Entrepreneurship-Kenya (SSE-K) Program, Colleen spends four weeks of her summers in Nairobi, where she supports a team of UBC students as they deliver a series of workshops in the large urban slums of Kibera and Mathare.
Bringing emergency preparedness to life at UBC
Anyone passing the south end of Main Mall on June 28 may see a flurry of activity as emergency responders rush to help a group of injured runners.
Thankfully this won't be a real-life emergency, but rather a mock-up exercise designed to test UBC's response and capabilities in a time of crisis. (more…)
Alex Bigazzi's "Silver Bullet"
Biking to work every day – rain or shine – isn't just Alex Bigazzi's commute to his job at UBC's Vancouver campus. For Alex, active transportation has become a lifestyle and a research topic he is deeply passionate about.
It's also part of what led him to join UBC as Assistant Professor in 2015.
When a new joint appointment came up with the Department of Civil Engineering and the School of Community, Alex jumped at the chance to join an academic community with endless opportunities for collaboration in his research on urban transportation. (more…)

Title: Professor
Department/Unit: Art History and Visual Art
Location: Vancouver
Year I started working at UBC: 1975
10 words or less to describe what I do at UBC: Teach sculpture and make it in the Old Fire Hall
The best thing about my work/role at UBC: Connecting with students who have the same excitement I felt as an undergraduate at UBC many decades ago and helping them to find their way to the future in art and the world in a time of anxiety and insecurity about that future. Not much different than that I felt when I graduated in 1971.
My favourite place to spend my lunch hour: Generally a walk around the campus is the best way to spend my lunch time but a real treat is to go to the top of the staircase in the old Chemistry building south end and curl up in the window structure that is derived from buildings in Cambridge and read a British murder mystery set in an classical academic setting. Best to go in disguise.
My top UBC tip for my colleagues, or for someone beginning their UBC journey: Focus on your students and on the broader picture of UBC's vision. Work with your peers who are your colleagues, not just the teaching and library ones but the grounds crews, the building workers and the vast and skilled crews of plant operations. We must be a coordinated group working for a single goal which is the young scholars who will make our future.

Skeleton staff: curating the big blue whale
One of UBC's most iconic sights is the 25-metre blue whale skeleton suspended over the entrance of the Beaty Biodiversity Museum. But while the closest most museum visitors are likely to get to the bony behemoth is the distance from which it looms above the floor, the same cannot be said for other members of the UBC community. And virtually no one is closer to this enormous creature than Chris Stinson, Curatorial Assistant of Mammals, Reptiles, and Amphibians. (more…)

Title: Manager, Conferences & Accommodation
Department/Unit: Student Housing & Hospitality Services
Location: Okanagan
Year I started working at UBC: 2008
10 words or less to describe what I do at UBC: Welcoming visitors to UBC through conferences, meetings, summer guest accommodation.
The best thing about my work/role at UBC: Being a part of a vibrant learning community surrounded by people willing to share expertise and support new ideas.
Moving to the Okanagan from the Lower Mainland, I can also say how much I appreciate the short commute to work which usually involves a view of the lake or a vineyard.
My favourite place to spend my lunch hour: The Quail Ridge Trail is a spectacular getaway for a noon walk, but one of the special places Housing staff can escape to is the top floor outdoor terrace in Purcell Residence which really gives you an outstanding view of the entire valley.
My top UBC tip for my colleagues, or for someone beginning their UBC journey: Be sure to attend a Friday Pit Stop. Pit Stop is a UBCO department/unit hosted coffee break once per month and is where you'll meet everyone.
If you're new to the Okanagan, gas is cheaper, wine and fruit is plentiful, your commute is shorter, beware of the sunless winters, but you'll be rewarded in the summers, so bring sunscreen! There is everything to do outside, at a lake, on a mountain, in nature. You will never leave, thankfully your guests will.

UBC chemistry instructor shoots for the stars—literally
Keeping his feet on the ground is not Richard Federley's strong point. With an insatiable curiosity and a passion for adventure, jumping out of planes and exploring the unknown is everyday stuff for this UBC Okanagan chemistry instructor.
No wonder he caught the eye of the Canadian Space Agency recruitment team.
A new take on the classroom builds space for better learning
The next time you step into a classroom at UBC, you might be surprised by what you see.
At first glance, you might not even realize you're in a classroom; however, it's likely that you've simply entered one of UBC's new learning spaces, planned by Jodi Scott and her team in Infrastructure Development, Facilities Planning.
"We're challenging the way that teaching and learning happens here through the use of space," says Jodi, who has been with UBC since 2002 and is a senior planner at the university. (more…)
Untangling the mysteries of love
The mysteries of love have inspired poetry, songs and countless works of art. But rather than revel in its mystique, UBC philosopher Carrie Jenkins, author of the new book What Love Is, wants us to turn a critical eye on love, to understand its biological and societal origins.
What are you working on? With Myron Campbell
Myron Campbell's creativity seems to be infinitely supplied. His work is not only imaginative but relevant in today's societal dialogues. From overseeing large city installations, to lecturing on digital imaging and design, his work encompasses that of a true contemporary artist.
What are you working on? With Ryan Huffman and Kyle Reese
Ryan Huffman and Kyle Reese are both Project Managers at UBC Infrastructure Development, Project Services. They joined the Project Services team in 2013.
They joke that at the time, people at the office were constantly mistaking them. They suspect it's because they sat beside each other — or maybe because each of their names contained four letters. Whatever the reason, their names seem to be inseparably linked.
Introducing students to new perspectives on gender and social justice
Ilya Parkins often receives glowing praise from students transformed by her classes in Gender and Women's Studies, but the UBC professor takes none of the credit. It's the material that is transformational she insists, not the messenger.
"One of the pleasures of doing this job is I get lots of feedback in a way that I don't think many people in other fields get," she says. "Students tell me I've changed their life, but what I've done is introduce them to a perspective that allows them to see the world through a gender lens or a social justice lens that changes them profoundly."
Studying the benefits of high-intensity interval training with Jonathan Little
The picture of health does not necessarily bring cellular physiology to mind. Rock-hard stomachs, dressing-on-the side salads, and unyielding self-discipline pervade society's idea of healthy.
But one researcher wants to turn our picture of health inside out.
Over the past three years at UBC's Okanagan campus, Assistant Professor Jonathan Little has worked in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences toward optimizing diet and exercise from a different perspective.
Exercise and diet contribute to much more than a number on your scale, says Little of his current research that challenges our understanding of exercise and diet.
Turning chemistry inside out: The new flipped classroom
Realizing his first-year course might be his only chance to help students understand the broader societal impacts of chemistry, Dr. Stephen McNeil started with just one question: What if he could help his students understand how chemistry relates to their own experience of life?
Dr. Claudia Krebs: Academic YouTube star sparks worldwide learning
Initially, all that UBC neuroanatomy professor Dr. Claudia Krebs had hoped to do with her videos was to engage her own students in deeper learning so they would actually retain the information she wanted them to know. That was back in 2013. Today, she's collaborating with colleagues around the world to transform medical anatomy education for thousands of students everywhere through open access learning.
Letting your mind wander with Kalina Christoff
It's safe to say that most people daydream. Mind wandering can happen when you perform everyday activities such as showering, walking, or driving–and when you're fantasizing or remembering. But is there a pay off?
Dr. Kalina Christoff, professor of psychology and principal investigator of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Thought Laboratory, explores the science behind–and the cognitive benefits of–mind wandering. In this Q&A, Christoff shares how she first became intrigued by mind wandering, the different types of human thought, and new research she's excited about.
Learning empathy and respect through play
At the south end of UBC's Vancouver campus, young minds are learning about environmental sustainability, social justice, and exploration of indigenous place.
Yet in this case, it's not university students who are doing the learning.
Instead, it's children – between 16 months and 5 years of age – at the Salal mixed-age daycare run by UBC's Kristin Webster and her team. (more…)
What Are You Working On? With Linc Kesler
Linc Kesler began his career at UBC in 2003 as the first director of the First Nations and Indigenous Studies Program. Before he came to the university he was a professor at Oregon State University for twenty years.
Linc designed and taught the three innovative core courses in the FNIS program and in 2009 he took on the roles of Director at the First Nations House of Learning and Senior Advisor to the President on Aboriginal Affairs.
As an experienced educator and accomplished researcher, he has put his skills towards developing initiatives on campus that contribute to the interests of Indigenous communities.
Using exercise to fight frailty
Assistant Professor Gareth Jones and his team at UBC's Okanagan campus are researching how a multi-component program of exercise can assist pre-frail and frail adults.
Hot Lunch showcases the power of food to unite
How often do you exchange emails with colleagues you haven't met in person?
When your workplace is as big as UBC, it's not difficult to see how this could be a common experience. Yet a monthly staff networking event – Hot Lunch – is aimed at changing this experience for the better.
"Hot Lunch is about finding ways to get people out of their offices and to help people put faces to names," says Sandra Shepard, Assistant Principal of St. John's College at UBC and a founding member of the Hot Lunch Steering Committee. (more…)
Taking an 'animated' approach to teaching
A UBC psychology instructor is taking a creative approach to teaching – through the use of stop-motion animation.
Steven Barnes, an Instructor in the Department of Psychology, has employed art and interactivity in his work for several years.
His methods range from the use of stop-motion 'chalkboard' animation in his classes, to allowing students to offset poor grades through optional projects that invite them to explore mediums beyond the traditional. (more…)
The art of language construction
A UBC professor is combining her love of languages, and her Hollywood connections, to help create a new documentary film.
Christine Schreyer, who teaches anthropology at UBC's Okanagan campus, is a linguistic anthropologist who has dedicated much of her career to working with communities to revitalize their endangered languages. A self-confessed language fangirl, she has spent the past year working as an executive producer on a soon-to-be-released documentary about conlanging (the art of creating languages).
Advancing UBC's Sustainability Goals: a Q&A with John Madden
What goes into making the campus carbon neutral?
As UBC releases its Carbon Neutral Action Report, an update on its climate action initiatives, John Madden, Director of Sustainability and Engineering, Campus and Community Planning, shares his insights on climate action and what inspired him to come and work at UBC.
Exploring the behavioural function of new neurons
Through the lens of adult neurogenesis, Dr. Jason Snyder's lab explores how the brain stores information and uses it to guide future behaviour. The lab investigates the role of neurogenesis in both the memory and mood related functions of the hippocampus, including the possibility that memory-related functions may be dependent on emotional factors such as stress.
Good Soil, Good Humans: Growing Science
When Sean Smukler left his position at Columbia University in New York for UBC, the idea of having access to a research farm on campus was tremendously appealing: "I love this part of the world but it was the job description… I couldn't pass it up."
Smukler, assistant professor in Applied Biology and Soil Science in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems, teaches undergrad and graduate students and is the principal investigator for the Sustainable Agricultural Landscapes (SAL) lab.
One of Smukler's undergrad courses, Food and Environment 1: Intro to Agroecology, conducts its lab classes each week throughout the term at the UBC Farm — rain or shine. Course 'gear' includes waterproof boots, jacket and pants or poncho and a waterproof notebook. Beyond understanding basic ecological principles as they apply to agroecosystems, Smukler strives to imbue his students with the scientific ethos and attitude.
Dr. Elizabeth Dunn's Happy Lab will make you smile
Can we live happily ever? Is there an art to being happy? These are just some of the big questions that Professor Elizabeth Dunn answers in the Department of Psychology's July Lab of the Month feature.
Dunn, co-author of Happy Money: The Science of Smarter Spending, has been exploring the science of happiness for over 15 years.
Inside gut science research with Deanna Gibson and her research team
Deanna Gibson and her research team give a tour of their laboratory at the Centre of Microbiome and Inflammatory Disease, where they investigate the emerging and exciting field of microbiome research.
New UBC Psychology faculty Dr. Kristin Laurin explores why we do what we do
Dr. Kristin Laurin's research involves some of the topics we're not supposed to discuss at dinner parties: politics and religion. Drawing from her own life, she's interested in how people's goals and motivations can shape their beliefs and ideologies, and vice versa.
In a Q&A, she shares the questions she tries to answer in her research, her motto, and what she does when she's not in the lab or classroom.
Chef Jeremy Scott's summer recipes

Learn more about Jeremy and check out his summer recipes, which include bone-in rib steaks, roasted corn, and fire roasted trout with lemon caper thyme butter.
How a little bit of theatre is shaping the doctors of tomorrow at UBC
When you visit a doctor, you might not expect to be the first patient they've ever treated.
Yet a scenario like this is no cause for alarm for UBC's Deirdré Fang, or the more than 500 patient actors she coordinates for the Faculty of Medicine's Standardized Patient program. In fact, it's all part of the job. (more…)
The Big Question
"Would you like to be our new president?"
It wasn't the question anyone had expected—least of all the person who asked it.
When UBC communications director Julie Ovenell first stood up at the American Marketing Association Higher Ed conference in Chicago last November, she'd intended only to ask University of Cincinnati president Santa Ono to clarify a point made during his inspiring keynote address on "The Digital Presidency: Brand-building in the age of Twitter". (more…)
What Are You Working On? With Annabel Lyon and Nancy Lee
Best-selling authors Annabel Lyon and Nancy Lee are professors in UBC's Creative Writing MFA program, entry to which has long been recognized as highly competitive, in no small part due to its world-renowned faculty and rigorous standards for admission.
The department's reputation for excellence, while buoyed by the stellar talent of its faculty, really comes from the program's unique, hands-on approach to the craft of writing (in 11 genres) that for 50 years has shaped the Canadian literary landscape. The resulting student publication credits are too numerous to list here.
Exploring the unexpected path to career fulfillment
What type of work would make you feel most fulfilled?
The question may seem daunting, yet UBC's Career Navigation and Transition Consultant Pooja Khandelwal hopes it's one you'll reflect on regularly for the sake of your wellbeing.
"When we talk about career success, it's really about moving away from the word 'success' and towards 'wellbeing'," says Pooja. "It's about figuring out what really matters to you and designing a career from there." (more…)
What Are You Working On? With Christina Sequeira
"Train hard, but smart" is Christina Sequeira's motto when it comes to fitness. And for her — fitness is all the time. Sequeira is program manager at the UBC BodyWorks Fitness Centre in Vancouver. She's a certified clinical exercise physiologist and holds both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Kinesiology from UBC. She strives to create a multidisciplinary approach to health care and emphasizes the importance of communication between health practitioners when shaping patient care.

The heart of pharmacy care evolution at UBC
How healthy is your heart? You could know the answer in less than 30 minutes, and without having to leave campus, thanks to the work of Barbara Gobis, Director of UBC's Pharmacists Clinic.
A UBC lecturer and self-described social pharmacist, Barbara, along with her team at the clinic, are working on several new initiatives that challenge the view of a pharmacist's work unfolding entirely behind the drug store counter. One initiative, a free cardiovascular risk assessment project for UBC's faculty and staff, is currently connecting pharmacists with patients in a way that's more accessible and supportive than ever. (more…)
UBC lecturer looks at the science behind teaching
An exact formula for teaching doesn't exist, according to the newest member in the Faculty of Education, Desirée Marshall-Peer.
Marshall-Peer has been teaching in the Okanagan for almost 10 years, and she's seen that the traditional equation of teaching is no longer working for the next generation of learners.
"The world is different," says Desirée, "we should be willing to look at what skills we're teaching our students in order to succeed in the future."
Desirée has spent the last five years collaborating with the Ministry of Education to design the new curriculum offered to B.C. students. She also made it the focus of her Master's thesis, "inquiry-based competency learning."
What that means, in short, is looking at the different ways you can teach students so that they are in control of how they learn and how they think. Asking students to constantly question how things work through study and experimentation.
Hands-on mechanical engineering course turns student ideas into final products
School of Engineering Associate Professor Lukas Bichler is providing students in the Okanagan with hands-on experience to help them conceptualize, design, and build their term projects from scratch. Through exposure to different techniques and equipment, students are learning how to take an idea from design to final product.
The Next 100 Years with UBC researchers
Nearly every researcher searches for something — a clue, an anomaly, a missing link — that will unlock new knowledge about the world we live in.
In the first 100 years at UBC, discovery was paramount. But what will the next 100 years bring? We asked researchers across a range of disciplines at UBC to transport themselves into the year 2115 and imagine what they might be teaching and researching.
The art of fungi with UBC Okanagan's John Klironomos
Dr. John Klironomos talks about the diversity of projects in plant and soil ecology in which his lab is focused, including how fungi are a reminder that tiny things can have a disproportionate impact on our environment.
UBC professors create a Learning Arcade
The future of education will be very different from traditional classroom learning if UBC professors in the Faculty of Education at UBC's Okanagan campus have anything to say about it.
On December 4th, professors Stephen Berg, Robert Campbell, Scott Douglas and Greg Wetterstrand decided to combine their teaching disciplines and host a Learning Arcade at Quigley Elementary School.
The Arcade required future teachers in the Elementary Education Program (ETEP) to think outside the box when coming up with activities for the young students. Many of the teacher candidates dressed up as animals and airplane pilots in order to get the students to engage with the material.
"The learning arcade encourages children to learn with their heads, hearts, and bodies all at once. There's dancing and movement, problem solving and collaboration. It focuses on embodied learning" says Campbell.
Curiosity takes eco-friendly breakthrough from lab to consumer
When faculty member Murray Isman visits the U.S., you may glimpse a smile when he spots an EcoSMART product.
The Professor of Entomology and Toxicology, who resides within UBC's Faculty of Land and Food Systems, has been instrumental in helping the company develop a suite of products, containing environmentally friendly pesticides and insecticides. (more…)
The next best thing to holding a brain in your hand
UBC Okanagan's Associate Professor of Biology, Bruce Mathieson, is using technology to help students learn neurobiology. Through videos and interactive online applications, Mathieson is finding the majority of students are excelling through these methods.
An interview with Judith Fograscher – United Way Campaign Hero
Judith Fograscher from Payment and Procurement Services shares her UBC United Way campaign story
How long have you been involved in the UBC United Way campaign?
I have been involved in the campaign the whole time I have worked here. At first, I supported the campaign by offering two airline tickets to anywhere in North America. The university conducts a lot of business with the airlines and as their appreciation they were willing to donate a pair of tickets. It just made sense to give these tickets back to our UBC employees that support an organization that strengthens our community. This has taken place for around five years now. (more…)
Professor Rudolf Seethaler's tools of tomorrow
Studying the high-speed motion control, UBC-O's School of Engineering Professor Rudolf Seethaler and his team are developing the tools of tomorrow in automated automobile valves, fuel-injectors and contouring performance of mill tools.
An interview with Dean Marc Parlange – United Way Campaign Hero
Marc Parlange, Dean of the Faculty of Applied Science, tells all on what the UBC United Way campaign means to him.
How long have you been involved with the UBC United Way campaign?
This is the third year that I have been involved in the UBC United Way Campaign. When I first joined the university, I had the idea of bringing people together. I thought, why not do a run? It was later decided to offer the chance for others to beat me in a race to the flagpole and back and I would match their donation. David Slade (UBC Engineering Student and Varsity Athlete) caught wind of this opportunity and students put together a Facebook page requesting pledges for David to run in the Turkey 2K Trot. The whole track team showed up to the event and David beat my time and raised over $600 for the campaign. (more…)
UBC-O professor heading to global conference on sustainable agriculture
For Tirso Gonzales, an associate professor at UBC Okanagan, the problems with the western world's way of farming are clear. Current practices such as monocropping, pesticide use, and only using a select group of plant species are solely profit driven and unsustainable.
These practices have largely ignored agricultural knowledge of more than 1.2 billion indigenous people and small farmers around the world, knowledge that will be the topic of discussion when Gonzales attends the second Indigenous Terra Madre (Mother Earth), a world conference on the subject in Shillong, India next week.
Siobhán McPhee's geographical exploration
It's probably safe to assume that Siobhán McPhee's first international move – to Africa at age three – primed her for her current role as professor in the Geography department and Vantage College.
Born in Vancouver, Siobhán spent most of her childhood in Africa and later the Middle East. It was during this time her fascination with geography was born. She moved to Ireland (her mother's homeland) to study anthropology and economics. That was followed by another stint in the Middle East, where she exchanged the role of student for that of teacher in an Abu Dhabi international school. (more…)

Faculty and staff kick for a cause and raise $300 for the United Way
As the UBC Vancouver's United Way 'week of caring' came to a close, one last event inspired faculty and and staff to get active. On October 16th, Rehana Aziz from Pharmaceutical Sciences coordinated a lunchtime kickboxing class, with registration donations going to United Way.
DeLo Fitness led participants in jabbing, blocking and roundhouse-kicking their way to making their daily cardio quota. After an intense workout, the motivated (and slightly sweaty!) group gathered to listen to a presentation from the United Way, learning about how exactly their donations impact the community. These champs truly were kicking for a cause and raised $300 in the process.

Turkey 2K Trot – A message from Marc Parlange, Dean of Applied Science
Thank you all sincerely for rallying your Faculty, teams, mascots and clubs in Vancouver to come out for the third annual Turkey 2K fun run/walk for the United Way. We were blessed with a sunny day—the skies parted, and so did the mountain of wet leaves, stream of water filling the Martha Piper Fountain and all the food trucks before us on Main Mall.
Thanks to all the deans (Simon and Rickey!), associate deans, heads/directors, professors, staff and students for coming out and participating. (more…)
Faculty and staff go head to head in the UBC Library United Way Spelling Bee
Sharpened pencils in hand, 91 perspicacious staff and faculty vied for vocabulary excellence in the 6th Annual Spelling Bee for the UBC Vancouver United Way Campaign. Coordinated by Harry Young and emceed by Sarah Dupont, the Spelling Bee always proves to be a rousing good time, with teams cheering at their correctly spelled words, and chuckling at their more fruitless ventures. Although there was some fierce competition, this year Ceremonies and Events' team, "The Lexicons," walked away with the top prize!
Donations from participants went to the United Way of the Lower Mainland in support of numerous social services across Vancouver.

As everyone was getting back into the swing of fall classes, Sauder faculty and staff were hard at work selling hot dogs to raise over $700 for United Way on September 23. Laughing, smiling, and making enthusiastic attempts to capture the attention of passersby, Sauder faculty and staff were able to use their keen business sense to provide two services: supplying students and staff with the necessity of lunch while supporting children, seniors, and families in our local community.
This event was organised by Patricia Fraser, with the help of Debra Harris.

Vancouver staff save 200kg of waste from landfill at Welcome Back BBQ
Once the barbeques were put away, tables cleared, chairs folded and 4,000 staff went back to their offices, only one small, desk bin-sized bag of garbage was left. The rest of the waste from UBC Vancouver's annual Welcome Back Staff BBQ—200 kg—was sorted into compost and recycling.
UBC-O unveils massive university replica cake
Faculty, staff and students at UBC Okanagan built a delicious replica of campus to commemorate 100 years of UBC and 10 years of the Okanagan campus. The 4 x 6 ft, 200 lbs masterpiece boasted everything from students walking around to the different types of trees found on campus.
On the run with Malcolm Smillie
You'd be forgiven for not knowing that the Sauder School of Business is home to one of the best Master track athletes in the world. Malcolm Smillie is his name, and he is responsible for Business Development for the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre. Over his 36 year running career, he's clocked a whopping 209,215 km (that's the equivalent of more than five times around the world).
Malcolm, who's been with UBC for three years in January, has an impressive track record (excuse the pun). Not only is he the 2005 World Masters Games gold medal winner for the 1500 meters race, he has won provincial championships in the 800 and 1500 meter races for ten consecutive years. (more…)
Phyllis Poon's quarter century at UBC
As UBC prepares to celebrate 100 years, the handful of faculty and staff who are in the exclusive 25, 35 and 40 Year Clubs will be reflecting on that time knowingly.
Phyllis Poon is among them. During the 26 years she's been at UBC, she has helped enroll thousands of graduate students to the university, has seen UBC evolve into one of the top 40 universities globally, and watched her oldest daughter go from being an undergraduate Arts student to a qualified teacher.
UBC welcomed Phyllis in 1989. It was the year the Berlin Wall fell, the year loonies replaced the one-dollar bill and the year George Bush Sr. became President of the United States. (more…)
Tapping into talent at UBC
For students in the Department of Theatre and Film, Zanna Downes is a friendly face, ready to help with enrolment and any other questions they may have.
As a department secretary on UBC's Vancouver campus, she is often on hand to provide a supportive voice to students as they navigate the university.
But little do Zanna's students know, she has 'another life' in which she herself is in the spotlight – as a member of an internationally-renowned tap company called Razzmatap.
Razzmatap is a company of dancers from all over the Lower Mainland. Their ages range from 44 to 86 and their backgrounds are just as diverse. The one thing they all have in common is a love for tap. (more…)

Letters from the River: Chapter 1
All our bags are packed; we're ready to go
This is it: the last day before we leave for our cross-country canoe trip.
We're here in Alberta staying with Harry's family. Tomorrow, his mother will drive us down to Lake Louise and drop us off east of the town site at a spot along the Bow River where we'll put the canoe in the water and begin our journey!
Looking back from this point, preparing for both the trip and the wedding was even more work than either of us had imagined. Would we do it differently if we could? Absolutely not. Read more.
New physicist Jenny Hoffman hits the ground running
Jenny Hoffman ran almost five consecutive marathons in one day last September. The epic 203-kilometre day garnered her the 2014 National Championship in USA Track and Field's 24-Hour Run, a gruelling endurance challenge.
When she's not running along the seawall or through the trails of Pacific Spirit Park, the physicist will be developing new quantum materials. These new materials are not yet well understood but they offer useful electronic and magnetic properties that are expected to revolutionize energy technologies, computing and medical equipment.Now, the ultra-marathoner and Harvard University professor joins UBC as its newest Canada Excellence Research Chair (CERC). The federally-funded CERC program is designed to attract top researchers to Canada from around the world, with the aim of strengthening scientific research.
What are you working on, Miriam Toews?
Author Miriam Toews tells us about being a writer in residence and working with the faculty and students in the UBC Creative Writing department.
Professor Qian Wang brings the classroom to the community
When learning a language, textbooks can only take you so far. That's why Professor Qian Wang was seeking innovative ways to help third-year language students improve their Mandarin speaking skills. She didn't have to look too far – the Learning Exchange had a unique solution that offered both real-life learning and community engagement.
"I had learned about community-based learning at a campus showcase and it was an eye-opener for me," says Wang, Instructor and Chinese Language Program Director in the Asian Studies department.
After discussions with staff and faculty colleagues, she was introduced to the Learning Exchange as a community-based learning option that might be a good fit for her students. She worked with the Learning Exchange to develop a program that partnered students with seniors in the Downtown Eastside's Mandarin-speaking community. These life-long learners meet weekly at the Learning Exchange's English Conversation Program. They generously agreed to share sessions with the young Mandarin speakers – creating a ready-made community learning space for UBC students. (more…)
Professor Michael Griffin's philosophical comparison
If you have an appetite for challenging the typical faculty/student interactions at UBC, you could do worse than spend an hour with Michael Griffin, Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy. Michael is at the forefront of a number of initiatives on our Vancouver campus, which are beginning to redefine the way these groups interact.
Michael's recent research has focused on the early stages of philosophical education, in the ancient Greek and Roman world, leading him to draw a number of comparisons with his interests as a modern-day teacher.
He explains: "The development of the higher education system in ancient times was integrated with the question of how to create pro-social, caring, altruistic members of society." (more…)
Land and Food Systems faculty and staff raise $6,300 for the Heart & Stroke Foundation
Twenty-nine faculty and staff from the Faculty of Land and Food Systems raised more than $6,300 for heart disease and stroke research by participating in the Heart & Stroke Foundation's Big Bike event on May 4th. Led by Dean Rickey Yada, Team LFS rode the 30 seat bike around the Vancouver campus for 20 minutes. LFS came in first at UBC, both in participation and in dollars raised.
Land and Food Systems' "bright idea"
What's one way to improve the way the university operates? By inviting faculty and staff to be part of the thought process.
And that's exactly what's happening across UBC right now, with faculty and staff being invited to identify new revenue sources and efficiencies for the university. The UBC-wide initiative aims to involve faculty and staff in a conversation about new ways of working.
This approach is already bringing success to the Faculty of Land and Food Systems in Vancouver, who launched their own ideas program in October of last year. The 'LFS Bright Ideas' program invites their community to submit ideas that improve the way the Faculty works. (more…)

Movie poster
Hunger Games
The orange vibrant colors catch the eye and stick out like a sore thumb. This makes the viewers pay more attention to it and read it and take a closer look at what the poster is trying to portray. It says "The world will be watching" this makes people think what is the world going to be watching. I think from looking at this poster the movie is going to be about a girl who is doing something and the whole world will be watching her and examining her every move. The is a mocking jay pin on the bottom of the poster represents strength and will power to stay alive.
News Story
"Gareth Edwards' take on Toho's titanic monster is out in under three months - May 16, 2014, to be precise - but our equally hefty Godzilla issue is out tomorrow. Discover... the megazine!
Nearly 30 per cent larger than a regular-sized issue, the megazine is special collectors' item, measuring approximately 26cm by 34cm. You'll be able to buy your own copy (provided you have a large enough bag, of course) tomorrow, Thursday February 27, at WHSmiths across the country (including Travel stores at railway stations, airports and the like), as well as the biggest 50 HMV stores in the UK."
This can relate to our topics because we talked about how to market movies and make the better the more money spent advertising the more revenue and viewers the movie is getting. In class we talked about promoting the movie before its released so that people are more intense and eager to see it the first night because they waited so long for it to come out.
Movie Trailer
Legends of hercules
This movie trailer is a great trailer because it teases the plot very well. The plot of this movie is in the medieval times when Greece and troy were at war And Hercules was a hero to the army he served for. The climax in this movie is when the voice of his mother tells him to look to sky for his true powers. This point in time lightning strikes his sword and he takes out a very large group of soldiers. This movie on a scale of 1-10 I would give it an eight Because it gives you enough to get you out of your seat but doesnt give you all of it so it makes you want to go to see it.
Television marketing srategies
The first thing that a TV show can do to market it the best is to have commercials that give us a sneak peak of what the show is and who stars in it. This commercial shouldn't be long just enough to catch people attention. This commercial should contain a sneak peak and the shows start date and time and the channel that it is on.
Have a Twitter page that Fans can interact with the characters and other fans. this is a good marketing idea because you can create a positive atmosphere for your fans.
Have the star of the show interview about the show on another tv show or star the in another show related to the one that your showing.
One thing you shouldn't do is let fans talk about your show or characters in a bad way because people will think less of your show.
Try to keep your main characters out of trouble or doing things that may be against peoples beliefs cause that can turn down fans and other potential viewers.
Amusement park
If i ran an amusement park how i would get people to stay longer and spend more money I would offer promotional deals. One of the promotional deals i would offer is a family bundle package i Would offer a Two night stay at a hotel and a two day pass to the amusement park. I would also offer a early bird special come at a certain time and receive a discount on ticket prices. I would also offer a lunch special every food place in the park will be twenty five percent off all regular priced item.

Above, a 1969 game program between Cornell and Ohio State at Cleveland Arena. Below, some afternoon news and notes...
- Rivals.com lists Cornell's Ryan Wittman among the 78 Division I players during the last decade that topped the 2,000 career point plateau.
- Two of Cornell's transfers, Max Groebe (UMass) and Mark Coury (Kentucky) had the opportunity during 2009-2010 to face their former teams. Unfortunately, Jeff Foote is out of eligibility and will miss the opportunity to face his former school, St. Bonaventure, next season. The Bonnies are on Cornell's projected 2010-2011 schedule.
- Speaking of transfers, the Northfield Mount Hermon School announced via twitter that former Penn forward, Brian Fitzpatrick has visited Davidson and Bucknell. Fitzpatrick opted to leave the Penn program in March.
- New Columbia coach, Kyle Smith gave the following Q&A during his introductory press conference
Q: What do you think you can take from your experience at St. Mary's, a solid mid-major program you've helped build, and transfer it here?
A: That's the model – obviously there's a distinction between the BCS schools and mid-majors but Cornell proved it can be done in the Ivy League and what I'm taking from that is the belief we have in ourselves. It doesn't matter what resources you have, you got a chance if you're working hard and get good players that are committed, you got a chance to compete with anybody.
- A source tell us that each of Cornell's announced recruits now have made their first semester deposits to the University. These recruits affirmed that despite the coaching changes, Cornell was still their first choice. As Ricky Norris said, "When you commit to an Ivy League school, you commit to so much more than the coach." Norris was Cornell recruit, Dwight Tarwater's head coach at the Webb School in Nashville. Cornell's new recruits include thus far:
* Dominic Scelfo G 6-1 180 New Orleans LA Jesuit HS
* Jake Matthews G 6-2 Greensburg PA Greensburg Salem HS
* Andrew Ferry G 6-2 Milwaukee WI Lutheran HS/Valparaiso Univ./Palm Beach St. CC (Junior)
* Jamal Cherry G 6-4 Tampa FL Tampa Prep HS (walk-on)
* Manny Sahota F 6-6 Bramton ONT Canada St. Marguerite d'Youville Secondary
* Dwight Tarwater F 6-6 Knoxville TN Webb School
* Anthony Gatlin F 6-8 190 Pearland HS TX/Centenary College (Junior)
* Nnamdi Okoye F 6-8 Concord CA De La Salle HS
