....remember that the story that is being told is the single most important ingredient in the whole of the project. It MUST be compelling, nice, engaging, entertaining... and suitable for 360 exploitation.
Now "exploitation" is not a nice word in itself, but exploitation is exactly what a cross media concept needs to be just that - cross media, engaging, entertaining etc. Just as long as the exploitation is done in the right way!
THe story told must in and of itself be strong enough to withstand the tear and wear of different storylines or parts of the story pulling it towards different platforms - be it television, the Internet, social media or whatever.
If the story turns out to not be strong enough, it is perhaps kindest to just put it out of its misery right away.

St. Louis, Mo., November 22, 2013 – The No. 11-ranked Washington University in St. Louis men's basketball team shot 64.5 percent in the second half and erased a four-point halftime deficit as the Bears defeated Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology 94-74 in the opening round of the 30th Annual Lopata Classic.
Senior forward Chris Klimek scored a season-high 26 points on 10-of-14 shooting, while senior guard Alan Aboona added 18 points and tied a tournament record with 12 assists. Junior forward Nick Burt (14 points), senior guard Tim Cooney (13 points, seven assists, six rebounds) and junior forward Matt Palucki (12 points, six rebounds) also notched double figures in scoring for Washington U. The Bears' five starters have scored in double figures in two-straight games.
Washington U. (3-0) hosts Whitman College Saturday at 8 p.m. in the final game of the Lopata Classic, while Rose-Hulman (0-1) takes on University of Chicago Saturday at 6 p.m.
In the opening game of the Lopata Classic, Chicago shot 70 percent in the second half as the Maroons rallied for an 81-79 win over Whitman. Royce Muskeyvalley had 18 points to lead all scorers, and nailed the game-winning jumper with six seconds remaining. Chicago shot 59.6 percent (28-47) in the win, but committed 28 turnovers.
It was a high-scoring first half where neither team led by more than six points. Cooney and Klimek combined to score the first 14 points of the game as Washington U. held onto a slight one-point lead at 14-13. A four-point play by Aboona highlighted a 10-2 run as the Bears built their largest lead of the first half at 24-19 with 9:38 to play.
Jordy Martin had the hot hand for Rose-Hulman in the first half, nailing 4-of-4 three-pointers and led all scorers with 14 points. Martin scored eight-straight points, including back-to-back three's, to give RHIT the 31-27 lead. The teams continued to trade baskets and a three-pointer by Michael Hallstein gave the Fightin' Engineers their largest lead of the half at 37-31 with 4:24 to play.
Rose-Hulman took a 50-46 lead to half after shooting 54.8 percent (17-31) from the field, including 9-of-15 three-pointers. Palucki had 10 points to lead the Bears, while Klimek and Burt added nine each. The Bears shot 55.6 percent (15-27) in the opening half and had 15 assists on 15 baskets.
Washington U. broke open a one-point game midway through the second half with a 22-2 run. Klimek had 10 of the Bears' 22 points during the decisive run, and a bucket by Palucki made it 84-65 with 4:27 to play. Rose-Hulman was limited to 11 points in the final 12 minutes of play and shot 30.4 percent (7-23) in the second half.
The Bears shot a season-high 60.3 percent (35-58) from the field and had 31 assists on 35 field goals. Washington U. also hit 21-of-27 (77.8 percent) from the foul line and committed a season-low nine turnovers.
Jake Dodd (15 points), Martin (14 points) and All-American Julian Strickland (14 points) all scored in double figures for Rose-Hulman in its season opener.
Bear Notebook: Rose-Hulman leads the all-time series, 11-10, against Washington U., and the teams met for the first time since 1997 … Washington U. has won 29-straight games in the Lopata Classic and has an all-time record of 53-6 (.898) … Aboona moved past Scott Fiedler (1987-91) into eighth on the all-time assist list with 303 ...

New Orleans Achieves 9.01 Million Visitors in 2012, the Highest Visitor Numbers
in Nearly 10 Years
Visitors spent a record-breaking $6 billion, the most in New Orleans' history
NEW ORLEANS – (March 12, 2013) – New Orleans' tourism industry welcomed 9.01 million visitors in 2012, record numbers not seen by the city in nearly 10 years. Total visitor numbers increased by three percent, or 255,027 from the number of visitors in 2011 (8.75 million.) The 9.01 million visitors spent $6 billion, a nine percent or $512 million increase over 2011 and the highest spending in the city's history, according to a study released today.
The 2012 New Orleans Area Visitor Profile study, completed by the UNO Hospitality Research Center for the New Orleans Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) and New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation (NOTMC,) represents a milestone.
In 2003 New Orleans welcomed 8.5 million visitors, who spent $4.5 billion. The year 2004 was a record-breaking year, with 10.1 million visitors and visitor spending totaling $4.9 billion. After Katrina, visitor numbers dropped to 3.7 million in 2006, with $2.8 billion in visitor spending. Due to the efforts of the New Orleans CVB and the NOTMC, visitor numbers increased to 7.1 million in 2007 with $4.8 billion in spending. Numbers increased in 2008 and 2009, ultimately reaching 8.3 million visitors and $5.3 billion in spending in 2010.
Seventy-three percent of the respondents who offered open-ended comments in 2012 provided positive feedback about the city; 49.9 percent of them plan to return or recommend New Orleans to others.
Mayor Mitch Landrieu said, "The continued growth of both visitor numbers and spending is a reflection of the hard work of our hospitality industry. I feel confident that we will continue the upward trajectory as we work toward the goal of welcoming 13 million visitors by 2018.
All key indicators increased in 2012, compared to 2011:
- Lodging spending increased by 17%
- Restaurant spending increased by nine percent
- Spending in bars and nightclubs jumped by 10.4 percent
- Entertainment/recreation increased by nine percent
- 76.1 percent of visitors surveyed were in New Orleans for vacation/pleasure
- 13.8 percent of visitors surveyed were in New Orleans for association, convention, tradeshow or corporate meetings
- 10.1 percent of visitors surveyed were in town for general business
- 58 percent of business travelers extended their stay for pleasure for an average of 2.1 nights
- Cruise visitors comprised about 1.7 percent of the total number of visitor responses, and they stayed an average of two nights in New Orleans before or after their cruise
The 2012 New Orleans Area Visitor Profile report also found:
- The proportion of visitors with income of $150,000 or more rose to 17.2 percent; 22.3 percent have a household income of over $100,000
- 41.1 percent of New Orleans visitors were in town for the first time; 58.9 percent were repeat visitors
- Overnight visitation from top feeder markets outside of Louisiana were: Texas, California, Florida and New York
- Visitors age 50-64 made up the largest demographic for 2012 visitors (37.7 percent), followed by 35-49 (29.7 percent), 25-34 (16.9 percent), 65 and older (11.0 percent) and 18-24 (4.7 percent)
- Overnight visitor stays in New Orleans remained the same between 2011 and 2012 at an average of 4.2 nights
- The proportion of overnight visitors staying in a hotel has increased over the past three years, reaching 61.3 percent
- Average party size was 2.9 people
- The majority of visitors who stayed in a hotel made reservations through the hotel website (27.5 percent), or a travel website (22 percent). Twelve percent of visitors called their hotel directly, while eight percent used association housing during their stay in New Orleans.
- The majority of New Orleans area visitors surveyed arrived in their personal vehicle (48.9 percent) or by airplane (46.3 percent)
"Reaching a milestone of nine million visitors in 2012 during a tough national economy reinforces that tourism does not just happen on its own, it takes aggressive, cutting-edge sales and marketing strategies," said Stephen Perry, President and CEO of the New Orleans CVB. "The CVB and our partners work together every day to drive New Orleans' $5 billion tourism industry that employs 75,000 people from every local neighborhood and fuels our state and local economy."
"The results from 2012 illustrate that all parts of New Orleans, from Magazine Street to Bywater, from Mid-City to Algiers is welcoming visitors to our city and seeing more and more benefit from our marketing efforts," said Mark Romig, President and CEO of New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation. "The hospitality industry is working solidly together, and with a city administration that gives its full support to continue this upward trend of visitation, we will continue to build more jobs and small business opportunities for our community."
"The results of the visitor study show that our visitors want to enjoy the full breadth of what New Orleans has to offer. They are taking part in numerous activities and visiting several attractions throughout their stay," said John Williams, PhD, Interim Dean, College of Business Administration at the University of New Orleans. "New Orleans is now recognized as a destination that offers an extraordinary experience every day of the year."
The University of New Orleans Hospitality Research Center is a collaborative effort of the University of New Orleans' Division of Business and Economic Research (DBER) and the Lester E. Kabacoff School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Administration (HRT). Its function is to provide a variety of research services to hospitality, travel and tourism organizations. The HRC has been producing reports similar to this visitor study since 1997.
The New Orleans Tourism Marketing Corporation is the City of New Orleans' official leisure travel promotion agency created to foster jobs and economic growth by developing the tourism industry in New Orleans. NOTMC is publicly funded and provides year-round online marketing, advertising, public relations and special event programming in order to support the growth of leisure travel to New Orleans.

The top ones are supposed to be LED's and the bottom ones are sensors so that I can have a matrix of LED's lighting up when the sensors detect ir light
QuoteThe top ones are supposed to be LED's and the bottom ones are sensors so that I can have a matrix of LED's lighting up when the sensors detect ir lightIn that case scrap that circuit it will not work for LEDs.Read:-http://www.thebox.myzen.co.uk/Workshop/LED_Matrix.htmlFor basic information about a matrix.
Cant I just rapidly iterate through each of the leds and turn them on
QuoteCant I just rapidly iterate through each of the leds and turn them onNot really the refresh rate and the on / off ratio would be rubbish. With an on off ratio of 64 : 1 the LEDs would be too dim. The 4051 has too much internal resistance to compensate for this by boosting the current and all the current has to come from the arduino pins. So while it would function it would be rubbish.
Do shift registers take inputs
QuoteDo shift registers take inputsThere are shift registers that output parallel data from a serial input and other types that output serial data from parallel inputs.But these are digital inputs, for your sensors you need an analogue input so go with the 4051.
Most instructables are very poor, that one is no exception. You should never use a common collector transistor configuration to source current, it shows the person who drew the circuit dosn't know what they are doing.You can get away with just a current sink if you only source one LED at a time from each pin. Otherwise you need both source and sink drivers. A PNP transistor or p-channel logic level FET shoul be used for the source.For the sink you can use NPN transistors or n-channel logic level FETs
And yes I will only have 1 LED on at a time, yet it will be blinking supa fast so u cant tell
What do you mean by NPN transistors
Also I figured out how to use the photodiodes, by this guy: http://www.instructables.com/id/Infrared-Proximity-Sensing-Coffee-Table-Module/
A bit fundamental this one, I suggest you shouldn't be doing a project like this if you don't know.For some education see:-http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/trancirc.htm
Most of the people who write instructables are in fact idiots. The only people more stupid are the people who read them, just look at some of the inane comments you get. Try not to get your facts from this source.
No you won't, there are too many to do this and the on / off ratio will be too high.Do not use pins 0 & 1, these are used by the serial communications and you will have difficulty uploading sketches.As the 595 can only supply enough current for 1 LED you will have to drive that circuit to multiplex by column rather than the more conventional row.
f I did put resistors in, should I just need 1 per row/column,
he only thing is that they have working examples sometimes
when you use them on your site, it looks very different to how I thought they are used
do you mean row scanning
is it my example code
Quotef I did put resistors in, should I just need 1 per row/column, You need the resistor in the line that is going to light up just 1 LED.
Quotehe only thing is that they have working examples sometimesI keep telling you that by and large they don't work, that is what leads many beginners astray and make us here pull out hair out. If you insist on looking at instructables then I am afraid I can't help you any more.
Quotewhen you use them on your site, it looks very different to how I thought they are usedSo your thinking was wrong then.Quotedo you mean row scanningNo.
Quoteis it my example codeYes it simply dose nothing very much. Also when posting code use the # icon next to the quote to stop the code being mangled by the forum software.In your case this is the lines from the first shift register.That first shift register should have the whole column of LEDs you want to turn on have a ones in the correct place for the pattern.The other two should have the walking one on them.We seemed to have switched now to an 8 by 12 array is this new? It never appeared in any of the other requirements.
Like I say in my page you have an array containing the bit pattern of what you want to display. Then you have a refresh routine to put that memory onto the LEDs. You seprate the refresh program from what you want to display.Have a read of that page again.
// if this is the byte data: byte displayData [ ] = { B11111111, B10000001, B10111101, B10100101, B10100101, B10111101, B10000001, B11111111 }; //Example taken from your siteloop start(){if refresh is due then refreshloop end}refresh(){byte tempData; for each column do this{ tempData= displayData[columnNumber]; write latch pin low shiftOut(datapin,clockpin,MSBFIRST,tempData); write latch pin high }end refresh}

It was a given that I'd be ordering a Burger at Between the Bun but I had also heard about their legendary fresh cut Nathan's style French Fries :::Fries now on BB radar::: The owners of Between the Bun had a Kosher Deli in New York years ago, moved to South Florida and opened up Between the Bun which means they must know meat.
Kosher dog on the menu? Kosher Dog with Deli Mustard is now ordered even though they were not part of the original dinner plan. The Dog actually came out first and had a deliciously crispy exterior from the flame grill they use. It was perfect with the Mustard on the toasted bun.
The Fries are unbelievable, yes I said unbelievable. I felt like going behind the counter and stuffing my pockets with them….that good.
The BTB is a great char-grilled 8 oz. Burger. I added Bacon and Cheese to it and no condiments at all. It was just right that way. It's served up with those usual suspects (Lettuce, Tomato, and Onions) but I ixnayed those fellas. Keep it classic and make sure you have some of those Fries.

Dan Walters: Yee case should bury California's pretensions about organized crime
The business of crime has become a staple of cable television drama in recent years.
"The Sopranos," depicting the lives of a Mafia family in New Jersey, set the tone – organized crime is a business.
Yes, the trade may be in women, drugs, bootleg liquor, gambling, untaxed cigarettes, dirty money, weapons or murder-for-hire, but fundamentally, it is about the logistics and profit margins of meeting customers' demands for services and goods.
Other shows followed the theme, such as "The Wire," set in Baltimore; "Boardwalk Empire," about prohibition-era Atlantic City; "Deadwood," depicting life and crime during the town's 19th-century gold rush; and, currently, "Justified," populated with criminal clans in backwoods Kentucky.
Each, too, has included a political element – organized criminals' need for pliant politicians.
But none of them, interestingly, has been set in California. Filmdom's interest in California's organized crime has largely been confined to the Mafia's efforts to penetrate Los Angeles in the late 1940s, thwarted by legendary Police Chief William Parker.
That attitude has bolstered the popular assumption that while other locales, including neighboring Nevada and Arizona, may have had organized crime, California has been relatively untainted.
It's never been true, as the state Department of Justice's periodic reports prove, including one this month on transnational organized crime. And this week's sensational arrests of state Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco, his campaign consultant and two dozen purported Asian gangsters should put our pretensions completely to rest.
A 137-page affidavit depicting the conversations of undercover FBI agents with Yee and others over several years reads like the outline of a TV crime drama – everything from laundering huge amounts of drug money to international weapons deals.
Most public attention will be focused on Yee. But while his purported acts, if proved, are certainly scandalous, they represent a relatively tiny portion of the vast enterprise that prosecutors say hid behind supposedly benevolent civic fronts.
Nor is what the affidavit describes an isolated incident. There are other criminal gangs operating all over the state, dealing in all the usual products and services that organized crime usually dominates.
The Sicilian Mafia and earlier crime syndicates evolved in New York and other cities from waves of migration a century ago.
California is the nation's new melting pot, and its gangs are largely rooted in its immigrant populations, even though the vast majority of immigrants are just looking to honestly better their lives.
The Yee situation may be worrisome, but there's a far larger dimension to the case. Legislators should take a fresh look at legal tools the new report on transnational crime says are needed.

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and business is a recipe for disaster.
What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the US Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention for proposing needed amendments to the Constitution.
Citizens for Self-Governance has launched the Convention of States Project to call an Article V convention to propose only amendments that would impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.
I support this approach. I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of Article V Convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Handbook for Legislators and Citizens (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: http://www.cosaction.com/handbook
I ask that you support the Convention of States Project and consider becoming a co-sponsor of the resolution. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
firstname.lastname@example.com or (540) 441-7227.
Thank you so much for your service to the people of our district.

New images of a "born-again" planetary nebula give a glimpse of what our sun might look like in 5 billion years when it transforms into stellar giant near the end of its life cycle.
Scientists created the new stunning new view of the planetary nebula Abell 30 by combining visible-light images from the Hubble Space Telescope and X-ray observations from the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra space telescopes. The Abell 30 nebula is located 5,500 light-years from Earth.
The term "planetary nebula" is somewhat of a misnomer that dates back to the 18th century when astronomers thought these glowing blobs looked like distant gas giants. A planetary nebula is actually made up of the shells of stellar material ejected from dying stars that have passed through the red giant phase after starting to run out of fuel.
About 12,500 years ago, a slow and dense stellar wind began stripping off the outer layers of the dying star at the heart of Abell 30, giving rise to the large, expanding sphere of gas seen in this image, with hydrogen represented in blue and oxygen in red.
But the new images show that the star experienced a brief rebirth 850 years ago, violently spewing knots of helium and carbon-rich material and accelerating the stellar wind to its present speed of over 8.7 million miles per hour (14 million kph), according to the researchers. This fast wind caught up with the slower wind and clumps of previously ejected material, forming complex structures like the delicate cometlike tails and flowerlike patterns seen near the central star in this image.

Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.
- Buzz Aldrin's vision for journey to Mars
- Giant black hole may be cooking up meals
- Watch a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse online
- Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Our sun may die out in similar fashion in a few billion years, swelling to a red giant that will engulf Mercury, Venus and possibly Earth before becoming a planetary nebula. The act will unleash a strong stellar wind and harsh radiation that will destroy any planets in our solar system that have managed to survive.
The research is detailed in a recent edition of the Astrophysical Journal.
