Welcome to the fifth and final part of my analysis of game trailer campaigns. BattleBlock Theater's is special to me because for the first half I was just a fan, and for the second half I was making the trailers!
BBT's development spanned about five years:
March 2009 - Game 3 Announce Trailer
February 2010 - BattleBlock Theater Trailer
March 2011 - BBT Intro Video
July 20, 2011 - BBT Prologue Video
June 3rd, 2011 through December 22, 2011 - Prisoner Videos
2012 - Development videos and convention recap videos
February 26, 2013 - Release Window Trailer
February 14, 2013 - Beta Teaser
March 12, 2013 - Beta Community Trailer
March 19, 2013 - Release Date Trailer
April 3, 2013 - Launch Trailer
April 21, 2013 - Story Trailer
March 2014 - Steam Announce Trailer
May 2014 - Steam Launch Trailer
For better or for worse, the Behemoth likes to show off their games as early as possible; they have a history of showing their games at conventions for multiple years before release. BBT didn't even have a name when it was announced; it was referred to only as "Game 3."
I was ecstatic the first time I saw this trailer. I didn't understand what the game was; there seemed to be both multiplayer and single player elements. The music, cute characters, co-op platforming, and Tony Hawk style coloring hooked me in. The game was set to release in 2010.
In my case study about Ooblet's E3 2018 trailer I mentioned it's good practice to make a game look as different as possible in each new trailer, especially if they're released very far apart. One of The Behemoth's strengths is its art style by co-founder and art director Dan Paladin.
He might disagree with this, but to my eyes, a lot of art in this trailer looks "done." It's great he can make something that looks "finished" so quickly, but this is a double edged sword for marketing. The finished game does have more art and polish than this first trailer, but the core of it looks about the same. This meant it was much harder for the game to make visual "leaps" between trailers. Signs of progress between trailers are satisfying because they imply momentum and promise for an even better finished product.
A new trailer came a year later with a title for the game, but no release date.
This trailer hints at the story, there are new mechanics, and characters like the block shaped horses and Raccoon/Antelope. Despite these new mechanics, the game still looks about the same. If not for the new characters, a year feels like a long time to wait for a trailer that to the untrained eye doesn't look very different. It's still hard to grasp what the game is, so this still feels very teaser-like. Not the end of the world, but this feels like a lateral move instead of a step up.
After this, an entire year passed without new BBT videos. Then they released this intro cutscene for the game (in the final game the intro was rewritten and re-animated)
This is the first reveal of the game's quirky narrator. I absolutely loved this; it gave me a big jolt of excitement because it was a totally different slice of the game (even if it didn't have gameplay).
A few months later they released the "Prologue Video." This starts outside the theater with a big title: "Prologue: The Betrayal" which implied story chapters. While I did love this, it was more of the same, and I wanted to see story bits in context. Same-y trailers or videos can feel like a drip feed of the game slowly informing you of every minute detail.
This might sound like a marketing strategy, but in practice it can feel as exciting as watching a literal spout of water dripping. Audiences frequently say they want to know everything, when in actuality I think they want to know the experience. Reading a complete list of features is about as exciting as a point-by-point summary of an action film.
Speaking of drip feed, for most of 2011 The Behemoth released "Prisoner videos" like this one:
As far as I know from talking to members of The Behemoth, these videos were to keep their audience satisfied with little bits of weekly content. These videos showed a new "prisoner" and also some new block types in the game. They released 16 of these total!
I recall these feeling kind of torturous to watched because they were just small snippets, not packaged up in any particularly exciting way, and gave no sense of the game progressing towards being finished. The changes were so incremental, it felt like the game was standing still. I feel like information presented in a non-exciting way reflects how the developers feel about it, so why should I get excited?
2012 had no new BattleBlock Theater trailers, and then in February 2013 came an announcement of the beta!
After the trailer campaign dragged to a halt in 2011/2012, this announcement made from user testing footage injected new energy into the community because not only were there visible signs the game was moving forward, but some people were lucky enough to play it! At this time I'd already worked at The Behemoth animating the cutscenes for several months. From this point on all the trailers were made by me.
After the beta came this special announcement:
A release window! The video ends in a very self-aware fashion with: "For real this time." I feel like the Prisoner videos could've been avoided entirely in favor of making a big splash later. That's the other danger of a drip feed of information; it's not interesting to watch, which means it's also not interesting to write about. Trailers help create stories for the press, but only when their impact is felt either by new announcements, new and interesting features or significant period enough times between them.
In March, this trailer came out featuring levels created by the community during the beta:
This is the first significant amount of gameplay shown in quite some time, and since it's community made, this is something novel for the audience to see. In trailer campaigns, variety is king, and monotony is death. Towards the end of March came a big announcement:
Release DATE trailer! We pretty much let Stamper the narrator go wild on this one, but this was our way of saying "Yeah... we know."
Not long after came the launch!
Finally, the game was out! It was time to show everything in the game from the single player to the multiplayer modes and level editor. I cut this together to music and Stamper ended up making a dang song out of it. At this point the game looked completely different; the levels are more intricate, the modes have names and it looks jam packed with features. After such a protracted campaign this was us trying to make a big splash again.
You'd think that was the end but a few weeks later we released a Story Trailer.
This was made because we got the impression people didn't realize BBT has a story. The earlier trailers skewed multiplayer heavy, and a lot of the demos at PAX were multiplayer focused. I think this was a similar problem that Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood ran into because their early marketing focused on multiplayer.
Story is one thing the launch trailer didn't cover in its gameplay heavy approach. I'm not sure how much this story trailer helped since it was after release and typically view counts drop off, but surprisingly this still has a high view count relative to the other trailers.
In general, trying to make up for past shortcomings feels like a dicey thing to do because a game's launch is typically the most exciting part, so how do you get people to pay attention? Also, this trailer released so soon after launch, press outlets were probably less inclined to give any more coverage (if any). While this trailer offers different content from the previous ones, it can be less interesting to watch a trailer for a game that's already out.
About a year later came the most successful BBT trailer.
This is one of the best trailers I've ever made, if not the best. This trailer announced the game for Steam, and made fun of PC gamers' priorities while also recapping the game's basic features. I was worried we would piss people off, but everyone seemed to love it. The trailer received several comments by people who bought the game because of the trailer alone. It just goes to show you that if you make a trailer for a game that gives people reason to share it, they will.
Less than a week later the game came out on Steam with this trailer:
I didn't think it would be possible to repeat the notoriety of the first trailer, but I thought it would be funny to make a "sequel" trailer to the first one. I don't think this one was as successful, but the game was out on Steam at this point so it didn't really matter that much.
What are the takeaways from BattleBlock Theater's campaign? Like the game, this was a case where there was no set strategy, so until the release window, it was all improvisation. This is one reason the game took so long to develop as they iterated, received feedback, and iterated some more. They had to roll with the punches when they found out they wouldn't hit their release date, and with an indefinite future it was near impossible to come up with a marketing strategy.
Ultimately, I think it's better to go silent than to give long and drawn out content. Showing anything from the game provides a modicum of hope that something is happening, but it's tiring, boring, and/or frustrating to watch when the game feels like it's standing still. And it wasn't as if BBT was gone from the world; the entire time they were still showing at every PAX, and Comic-Con.
This trailer campaign was all over the place, but The Behemoth has very loyal fans, so the game was still very successful. I'm not sure how the game would've performed if not for bedrock of fans and good will. Community building is increasingly the advice I see recommended by game publishers and PR workers. For further information I highly recommend this GDC Talk by No More Robots' Mike Rose.
I hope this five part series about different game trailer campaigns was interesting and useful. It's confirmed some of my beliefs, and also challenged others. There's no one way to do a trailer campaign, but here are some best practices that sum up some of my points:
Content in trailers should overlap as little as possible
Make the trailers complementary
Show gamedev progression, especially when released far apart.
Make your trailer worthy of a written article
Trailers that announce dates don't need to do much else
The storefront trailer doesn't have to be the launch trailer
Launch is an opportunity to show the game at its best, but it will typically have the least views
A well executed trailer can compensate for otherwise uninteresting format
Novel trailers get shared!

Sound Design - 2016
Hot L Baltimore - UWM PSOA Theatre
William Watson, Director
Following on the heels of other recent collaborations (Love's Labours Lost and Ruined), director William Watson and I created detailed and immersive soundscapes to set the play firmly in downtown Baltimore, 1973 (where I lived for 6 years in the mid-1990's). Music of the era highlighted transitions through time and time of day.
Corktown - UWM PSOA Theatre
Rebecca Holderness, Director
Sound and video combined to support the ups and downs of gentrification in the Corktown area of Detroit. The play featured everything from hard core rap-metal to lush soundscapes abstracted from environmental and industrial sounds mixed with gospel choirs.

Amazing Video Clip Of Earth From Space
This is not a typical post on RollinSD, but it was forwarded to me from Jimmy and I thought it was amazing. This is a video from space of all the airline flights for 24hrs sped up into a 2 minute video. Watch as the highest concentration of flights move between the US and Western Europe as the sun rises and sets. It is also cool watching the daylight pattern mover across the earth. From space we look like we are a beehive. I am truly amazed at the amount of flights that are taken on a daily basis. email@example.com[hana-flv-player video="http://rollingsd.com/wp-content/uploads/World.flv" width="400″ height="330″ description="" player="4″ autoload="true" autoplay="false" loop="false" autorewind="true" clickurl="http://rollingsd.com/wp-content/uploads/World.flv" /]

Win7 correctly found the driver for printing on our HP Photosmart 2575, but I couldn't scan from it. So I had to install the (usually flaky) HP drivers; long story short, they didn't install correctly. So I had to use System Restore to get rid of the clutter. After a quick reboot, Win7 was back to normal. I had to reinstall my ATI Remote and MediaMonkey, but that didn't take long.
The more I use it, the more I'm excited about Windows 7. Now if they just don't mess it up between now and RTM. 😉

Create the Perfect Pilates Studio in Your Home
Posted by Kristin Barry on Tuesday, June 20th, 2017 at 5:11pm
A home studio is uber desirable in today's culture. Who doesn't want a legit gym in their house? It adds value, uniqueness and is especially prime real estate when it doubles as a guest room with a cool NYC brick-loft feel. I converted our guest room (which had a wall bed in it), so I didn't lose a room, I just gained a Pilates studio. Do the math, too, on expensive Pilates equipment classes, and you'll discover the concept is a great investment that quickly pays for itself.
Building my home Pilates studio was one of the best things I've ever done. It's wildly liberating; I can make class on my time. It's just a short walk downstairs (no fighting for a gym parking spot). It lets me do workouts for my body. And I can cue up a Pilates app class anytime, or listen to a favorite podcast or whatever music I want. Plus, no one else sweats on my machine (am I right?). Prior to building my studio, I was a dedicated Reformer gal at my fitness club three days a week, but I just got too busy to make the limited class schedule.
A Pilates studio isn't a trendy fitness craze that you'll get over in no time either. You'll spend years perfecting your form and knowledge, so having a studio in your home is something you can use for decades to come—without injury. Pilates Reformer is a very specific form of fitness, and the benefits are endless. I've heard it called the most sophisticated form of fitness, and I couldn't agree more. Originally Pilates was called Contrology by creator Joseph Pilates in the 1930's for its specific nature and resistance. It's truly a lifestyle.
My teenage daughter also uses our studio often, and my younger son is 'growing up Pilates' himself with a fascination of the equipment and a jump on the springs whenever he can. A Reformer is the Peloton of Pilates I like to say—in your home, on your terms, around your family's life.
1. Start fresh. Like all great design projects, pull everything out of your space first and see exactly what you have to work with. Get rid of all the clutter, and go big on brooming things. Pilates requires space and a clear mind.
2. Equip your studio. Choose the right equipment. I went with a Balanced Body Reformer and I also got the Tower—the exact machine that I did Pilates on at my gym's studio; the Allegro Reformer 14″. Measure your equipment in comparison to your room. Remember to give yourself room to walk around the machine, and include space for the props you might add too (the box, balls, weights, etc.). Also, if the room will double as a guest room at times, choose a Reformer that is easy to disassemble. The wooden Reformers are pretty, but they don't come apart. My breaks down easily into two pieces with a screwdriver.
3. Get inspired. This may be the biggest step—create a space that you want to go in and workout in several times a week. I added the brick wall for legitimacy (because, well, Flashdance—every fitness studio needs a brick wall I figured). And I added cement-look flooring. I wanted my studio to be the real deal so that I wouldn't miss the nice studio feel at the gym. One thing I was sure was: I didn't want to be working out in my living room, around furniture, upstairs next to the master bed or in my garage without A/C), etc.
4. Think cohesive design. Make sure any permanent items in the room (wall bed, lamps, lighting, tables etc.) all match the essence of your studio. Our artisan-made reclaimed wood wall bed fit right in. We had it made in L.A. a few years ago in West LA across from The Helms (now The Mod Barn, formerly Arenbeology), and we love ours. They have very cool, current looks (versus the plethora of dated, uninspired Murphy beds in the marketplace).
5. Add privacy. When you're working out, you don't want neighbors looking in. Consider privacy glass on your windows. When we recently put new windows in our house, I chose a rain-textured glass for my studio (inspired by the thought of sweat, of course). It lets in lots of natural light, yet I don't see neighbors, and they don't see me. Shrubs also outside the window also add a nice natural filter through the window.
6. Form first. Add wall mirrors to see your form (crucial).
7. Get hooked up—tech time. Consider multiple TVs for your studio (that run on Apple TV for all the app-based classes out there). I have two TVs in my studio; one I watch when facing the Reformer, and one I watch when facing the Tower. I'm not wrenching my neck to see instructors while watching classes. (I still want one on the ceiling too, if I can talk my husband into installing it). I also have an Alexa echo to play music.
8. Enjoy your room. Get in your studio 3-4 times a week for a class, for an hour workout on your own, or even just 15 minutes for stretching or working arms or legs if you're having a busy day. And know that your studio commitment is going to have ebb and flows like all things in life. Mix things up with new instructors, new music, new podcasts, hiring a private instructor come by to check your form once a month, and even hit a regular gym for yoga or some weights if you're missing the community vibe. And don't be surprised if your pets join you in the studio. Godiva here, is a pup with a Pilates spirit, I think (or she likes the cold floor). Enjoy!

Description: When Darwin visited the Galapagos Island he collected a number of bird species that he brought back to England. He presented them to ornithologist John Gould thinking they were a variety of birds and he was told that they were all different varieties of finches. This led Darwin to speculate that a population of finches had arrived on the islands and had adapted to different climates through natural selection. However Darwin was never able to observe evolution taking place. Researchers Peter and Rosemary Grant have been observing evolution of Galapagos finches for the last 40 years. One of the most famous studies involved the change in beak depth of medium ground finches during times of drought. Birds that had small beaks were unable to open the dry seeds causing microevolution in the surviving birds.

Sen. Mitt Romney's Criticisms of Donald Trump Highlight New Political Culture for Mormons
WASHINGTON, January 7, 2019 – Without even trying very hard, Utah Sen. Mitt Romney has set off new questions among Republicans about Donald Trump.
But with his OpEd in the Washington Post on New Year's Day, the re-emergence on the national stage of the nation's Most Prominent Mormon will also inevitably set off new questions about Mormonism's place in America.
Most political observers know at least something of the back-and-forth relationship between these two more-than-multi-millionaires. Call them both self-made men, with a little help from their fathers.
Trump endorsed Romney in 2012. When the tables were turned, though, Romney excoriated Trump in March 2016. But upon Trump's victory, Romney issued a congratulatory Tweet. Then Trump embarrassed Romney by dangling an unoffered secretary of state-ship. Then last year, when Romney ran for Senate, he again accepted Trump's endorsement, avoided all talk of Trump, and appeared to be running a Utah-based campaign.
Except for this tip-off: Romney promised to "bring Utah's values to Washington."
What exactly are "Utah values"? You can be as politic as you want, but everyone in Utah knows that means "Mormon values," or at least the values of a state heavily influenced by (and still 60 percent-inhabited-by) Mormons.
Remember that Utah began its life as a theocracy, with Brigham Young, the second prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, ruling spiritually and also politically as the territorial governor.
Before we get too far into "Mormon values," let's back up and make something clear. According to the current prophet of the church, we're not supposed to use the word "Mormon" anymore, even in referring to the church's members.
The church's media relations web site goes so far as to say that "the term 'Mormonism' is inaccurate and should not be used." It even downplays the use of the term "Latter-day Saints," a long-approved secondary name.
This vigorous and even challenging new linguistic emphasis came personally from Russell M. Nelson, the faith's 94-year-old chief. And it isn't even among the top three most dramatic changes initiated by Nelson in the year since he was anointed as the faith's prophet on January 14, 2018.
In April, Nelson presided over his first general conference, an assembly in Salt Lake, and transmitted to millions more gathered over television, radio and the internet. In it, Nelson and the church's other leaders, the apostles, officially ended a decades-old practice called "home teaching." The old program heavily relied upon obligation, and called for every male member of the church to visit a set number of congregants each month. A new, replacement program called "ministering" includes women as well as men, girls as well as boys. Mandatory monthly visits are gone, making ministering more of a "spirit of the law" service.
Another big change followed at the October conference. Henceforth, church hours would be reduced. Instead of three hours at church on Sunday (meetings to which both members and non-members are allowed to attend), everyone would now spend only two hours at church. The stated goal is to use that extra hour of time to study religious scriptures in the home.
A third major change, announced January 2, 2019, right as it went into effect, shortened and otherwise modified the faith's sacred rituals in its members-only temples.
The key message threaded throughout this pace of dizzying changes by church leaders is a loosening of the "letter of the law," and also a greater emphasis on equal opportunities for women and men, girls and boys.
Nelson's second-in-command among the church's apostles, Dallin Oaks, and others have encouraged these and other changes. At a June 2018 celebration commemorating the 40th anniversary of the end of the church's historic ban on black members receiving the priesthood, Oaks delivered a blunt message to "abandon attitudes of prejudice against any group of God's children," particularly racism, "probably the most familiar source of prejudice today [of which] we are all called to repent."
Also, at roughly the same time as Donald Trump's political ascent, the LDS church began to place a greater priority on the need to provide humanitarian assistance to refugees through its "I Was a Stranger" program, which itself was bolstered by Utah Republican Gov. Gary Herbert's offer that the state take in more refugees, not less.
While the church doesn't take partisan stances, it's impossible not to see that the political culture which Mormons inhabit is becoming – by the standard of today – more liberal, not more conservative.
The Mormon Romney may once have been a "conservative." But, when asked on CNN why he choose to articulate his character-driven criticisms of Donald Trump, he cited the occasions in which he had already publicly weighed in:
"The Charlottesville response by the President was something that gave me great concern. The support for Roy Moore in the Senate race was something I was very, very concerned about. His attack on the media, I wrote an entire piece about that."
There you have the reasons for Romney's core critique of Trumpism: Racism, sexism, and authoritarian impulses. None of those are "conservative" concerns, or at least concerns of Trump-world. Indeed, these liberal democratic norms are all well in keeping with where Romney's Mormon constituency is increasingly finding itself.
Certainly this politico-religious realignment is no more complete than is the stereotype that Republicans are gun-toting church-goers, and Democrats are tree-hugging agnostics or atheists. There's even some movement among other Latter-day Saint senators. (And this analysis doesn't even consider the most powerful Latter-day Saint senator ever: Former Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada.)
Utahns consider outgoing Sen. Orrin Hatch to have been Mormonism's "ambassador" to all things Trump. They indulged his over-the-top support of The Donald as being more in keeping with his inner Republican than any other inner voice.
And Mike Lee, Utah's other senator – and who, like Romney, refused to vote for Trump – is edging closer by the day to Donald Trump. Even this, though, may be driven by the exception, rather than the rule: Trump's sudden willingness in December to support the landmark criminal and sentencing reform package long championed by Sen. Lee.
If Romney is stepping into any other Mormon senator's shoes, it's those of outgoing Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, whose criticisms of Trump have arguably cost him his political career in the state. Arizona, which is only 5 percent LDS, was more wary of immigration than Utah. And yet – as with last November's senate victory by the Democrats – even Arizona is increasingly having second thoughts about Donald Trump.
The fight is clearly on for the soul of the conservatism within the Republican Party. And with Mitt Romney's once again raising the stakes on the unsavory parts of Trumpism, we should see greater discussion about the role that Latter-day Saints are playing in opposition to it.

Mitt is well known and respected in the church…BUT…you can't assume that everything he says is indicative of all church members. He is…NOT…the spokesperson for the church and is not the…VOICE…of the people. He's expressing his own personal views…some of which are good…and some of which are "Flakey", as in the former Arizona Senator and are not welcome.

I would appreciate a critique of Trump from a religious perspective, but Mitt largely is just catering to the media when he criticizes.
The "Charlottesville comments" have become a weird hoax that Romney should have been smart enough to avoid falling for.
The "McCain worship canard" is another weird thing to fall for. John McCain was a mean, vengeful person and Trump has done several nice favors for him. McCain on the other hand pulled his characteristic back stabbing several times with Trump.
If criticizing the press for their unethical behavior isn't the job of the president, than who's job is it?
Romney fails here as well.

Data Privacy Rules Should Create Consistency, Not Chaos
The views reflected in Expert Opinion pieces do not necessarily reflect the views of Breakfast Media LLC.
Following a string of data breaches that touched tens of millions of consumers, and revelations of user data exploitation by popular social media platforms, there's a broad national consensus: It's time for internet users to have guarantees about privacy and data protection. Legislation is long overdue.
Some states, such as California, have already taken action. One year ago, California passed a sweeping privacy protections law. Other states have expressed an intention to do so, and Congress is expected to consider legislation. What's the best way forward?
Congress must take its responsibility to protect user privacy and data seriously. At a minimum, any new federal law should provide internet users with the knowledge of which personal information is collected by the websites they visit and how that information is used. They should have a meaningful opportunity to opt out of these collection and use practices.
Congress should also ensure that any user's sensitive personal identification information — such as a driver's license, credit card number or Social Security number — can be collected and retained only with that user's consent. Reasonable rights to access and correct user-provided information should also be afforded.
But it's important to realize that web services are offered on a national basis and many would be disrupted by a multiplicity of diverse and contradictory state privacy requirements. The compliance costs could be enormous, particularly for small and startup businesses. There may be situations where it's literally impossible to comply with the conflicting requirements of different states' laws.
Not only would compliance with various state requirements be exceedingly difficult, consumers would be constantly unsure about which state's privacy requirements apply. Consider the mobile service provider whose customer lives in one state, travels to another state and accesses an e-commerce site headquartered in a third state. The service provider is headquartered in a fourth state and uses a server data center in a fifth state.
Whose law applies — the state of residence of the customer or internet edge provider? The state of location of the customer or that of the service provider? Or the state where a server sends and receives customer messages?
To avoid this obvious confusion, it's far better for Congress to adopt one strong, clear national privacy standard that would be applicable across the entire internet ecosystem, from the service provider to content-providing companies. In order to prevent disruption and consumer confusion in the application of an internet privacy law, Congress should pass its own privacy standard that preempts the states from their own regulation.
Such action would certainly not be new. Congress routinely preempts states in instances where a single uniform national standard is called for.
For example, in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, Congress preempted state (and local) action on the energy efficiency of appliances where a national standard is in place. In the Toxic Substances Control Act, Congress preempted state action in favor of national regulation of chemicals covered by Environmental Protection Agency rules. Congress has also been quite clear that action by the Food and Drug Administration preempts conflicting state standards in the area of approval of new pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
Appliances, chemicals, prescription drugs, medical devices — all of these are goods of major importance to the national economy. So too is e-commerce involving the sale of both physical and digital goods. Federal preemption was right in the areas referenced above and, to avoid harming the internet economy and preventing consumer misunderstanding, is also right for data privacy standards.
It would be a critical mistake for Congress to enact a data privacy law that only provides a base from which the states can add additional requirements. Through the resulting disruption and chaos, harm would come to the internet economy while doing little if anything to advance real privacy for internet users.
A single, strong national data privacy standard would provide clear rules for companies to follow while fostering consumer understanding of the privacy assurances that have been extended to them.
Fortunately, the need for data privacy protection enjoys rare, widespread bipartisan support. It's now Congress' turn to act.

As States Legalize Medical Marijuana, It's Crucial to Understand Its Health Benefits and Consequences
Most marijuana-related news focuses on how to invest, tax revenue for states, shops and growers. But there's a lot missing from this conversation. How are states legalizing marijuana in ways that protect public health based on facts, science, and rational analysis?
As of today, 10 states and Washington, D.C., have legalized recreational marijuana use. More than 30 have legal medical marijuana, and both Canada and Mexico have federal approval of medical and recreational usage. With even more states poised to legalize cannabis, ample questions are being raised about governance and regulation, health effects, scientific research, and public health.
In the United States, where the federal government still officially decrees marijuana to be illegal, the federal government continues to be abdicating its role of leading in a world in which there is no natural centralized body for collecting, analyzing, and sharing information and knowledge learned across states – and from our neighbors to the north and south.
It is vital that we as a nation understand the potential benefits and consequences of cannabis legalization, how to create sensible policies/regulations, and how to design effective education programs for clinicians and citizens. Cannabis poses different issues than alcohol or tobacco, and there is an opportunity to learn from those industries about what has worked and what has not. States new to legal cannabis also need support and clarity as they grapple with public debate, public health and safety challenges, and the complexities of designing a state cannabis system.
That's why the 2019 North American Cannabis Summit is so important to national public health and understanding. This multinational conference offers a neutral forum for stakeholders from all arenas to come together and discuss controversial topics objectively, in the context of respectful dialogue and open exploration.
At the 2017 National Cannabis Summit in Denver, attendees felt they could share and ask questions and receive practical, applicable knowledge and experience to bring back to their states. The 2019 Summit is expanding to include the perspectives and lessons learned from Canada and Mexico, and it's being held in California—one of the first states to legalize cannabis and the one furthest in the journey of implementation.
There are so many questions, and so many unknowns. How does legalization affect our youth? Our seniors? How about pregnant women and young families? What about cannabis in certain settings, like the workplace, the criminal justice system, personal family homes, and public housing? How are we monitoring and surveilling the results of legalization and sharing data in consistent ways?
Hearing from academics, researchers, policymakers, implementers, and clinicians gives listeners the kind of science-based information they need, whether they are lawmakers, healthcare providers, or other researchers seeking their own answers.
In January, the 2019 North American Cannabis Summit in Los Angeles will explore themes of public health, science, and health equity; public safety; prevention and education; emerging research and epidemiological data; governance, federal law, and emerging policy; health effects; and regulatory issues.
Before we go too much further down this road, let's make sure we're paying attention to the collective knowledge we're gaining from the experience of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Let's use what we know and learn to inform the emerging cannabis industry, to keep public health and the needs of communities front and center, and to implement legalization in as measured and replicable a way as possible.

This year sees the 4th NI Science Festival. The festival came about by chance as I was doing the annual Physics Busking in Trinity College Dublin as part of the Curiosity Science Festival. While I was doing the standing wave demonstration – a quite elaborate interactive demo with barbeque skewers and jelly beans that takes quite a while to accomplish but with a very impressive result–- a man in the crowd heard my Northern Irish accent and we started chatting. He introduced himself as Chris McCreery, then Chair of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival, and he was very impressed with the IOP Physics Busking as the delivery and explanations made physics accessible to him. He was also delighted that someone from the North was involved.
Lamenting the fact that there was no science festival in the North, we exchanged details and planned a meet-up when we were back home to pursue an NI Science Festival. We spent a year seeking funding and developing partnerships, and found that that local science organisations were very keen on the concept.
Funding was more of a challenge. Northern Ireland has a thriving festival culture based on the arts and culture, but there were no funding streams available for the type of festival that we envisaged. But we were lucky that the then Minister for the Employment and Learning, Stephen Farry MLA, saw the benefits and backed the festival generously. Belfast City Council also came on board from the start.
Our vision was that the festival would become a platform for anyone involved in science to come together and share resources to raise awareness of science – both local and international – with the people of Northern Ireland. An important feature was that we assembled a board with a number of arts personnel to help with the delivery and accessibility of proposed events. The initial 11-day festival aimed to showcase science and technology with the same creativity, flair and marketing that would be expected from an arts or music festival.
As Education and Outreach Adviser for the IOP in Ireland, based in Northern Ireland, the development of the festival was a core part of my remit and its aims were closely aligned with those of the IOP – interweaving an awareness of physics into society in a way that will have a lasting and positive effect throughout Northern Ireland. Physics sits at the core of the festival, with typically six events each festival showcasing speakers such as Jim Al-Khalili and Jocelyn Bell Burnell, the ever-popular Physics Busking and the development of a professional exhibition in the Ulster Museum by the Laser Division of Queen's University Belfast.
We had an initial target of 10,000 attendees but reached an audience of nearly 50,000 with 100 events in the first year. Since then the festival has grown to nearly 200 events spreading out of Belfast into every county across Northern Ireland. Last year's attendance reached 75,000, meaning the festival is the largest in Ireland and one of the largest in the UK and Europe.
We have started to develop out-of-festival events and my goal is to build on its success to bring physics to the under-served sector – in particular community groups in disadvantaged areas – to embed physics in their lives. One of the most inspiring physicists of the 20th century was John Bell – himself from a disadvantaged area – and his story and legacy will act as a shining light to raise hopes and aspirations through physics in Northern Ireland.

Fear among academics that their teaching and research risks falling foul of anti-terror laws is leading some to include disclaimers in their course materials, according to a senior member of the Higher Education Academy.
Bela Arora, academic co-ordinator for politics at the HEA's Centre for Sociology, Anthropology and Politics (CSAP), organised a workshop on "teaching terrorism" at the University of Strathclyde last month.
"There is a lot of concern and fear among academics teaching and researching this subject; they feel that they are in the spotlight in a negative way," Dr Arora told Times Higher Education. She said the affected disciplines extended from politics through to law and even tourism and hospitality.
The workshop follows a high-profile case at the University of Nottingham, in which a postgraduate student who was studying Islamic terrorism was arrested for possessing a copy of the al-Qaeda handbook, and held for six days before being released without charge.
After the case, Sir Colin Campbell, Nottingham's vice-chancellor at that time, told staff and students that if they accessed terrorist materials they "run the risk of being investigated and prosecuted on terrorism charges". He added that those using material for research "are likely to be able to offer a defence to charges, although they may be held in custody for some time while the matter is investigated".
Dr Arora said: "Some academics have been adding 'disclaimers' to their module guides to highlight the Nottingham case and reiterate that they (students) are not being required to download sensitive material. (Other) academics feel there are so many grey areas they are wondering if they should use disclaimers."
The Strathclyde workshop addressed government counterterrorism initiatives that have "identified the ways in which terrorism is handled in education as a potential area for concern in relation to 'radicalisation'" and have "put pressure on the space for independent study of political violence".
The workshop was the first in a series that will examine the implications of counterterrorist activity for universities.
After the first meeting, the CSAP special interest group on the teaching of terrorism studies was broadened to include disciplines such as law and hospitality studies. Dr Arora said: "There is ongoing doctoral research on the impacts of terrorism on tourism and it is important for the group to work with the wider academic community."
Delegates at the meeting considered employing a researcher to interview academics about how their teaching of terrorism studies had changed over recent years.

Wyoming Landscape: Soul Roots 48" x 36"
Wyoming Landscape: Soul Roots 48" x 36"
Canvas Depth: 1.5"
Oil, Sheet Music, Gold Leaf, and Gold Powder
Tiffani Taylor's newest body of work, titled "Soul Roots," takes the viewer on a journey of the Wyoming landscapes found within the artist's mental suitcase of pictures… it proposes the questioning of what is beauty… and focuses on how in life we cannot have the Light without the dark.
All five paintings take place during the "Golden Hour." That special moment when the sun starts to set and the world glows with a honeyed Light…
For the past twenty years, Tiffani's art has been inspired by a recurring dream… In 1998, she departed from Ogden, Utah to fulfill her dream and attend the Savannah College of Art & Design in Savannah, Georgia. After becoming incredibly homesick, she began to dream of her Grandmother's sheet music juxtaposed with scenes of landscapes from her childhood. These memories stay tucked in the mind of the Artist and flutter around her brain vividly as if they just occurred.
"Soul Roots" expands upon the theme of "Nature: My Cathedral" with a seeking to visually describe Divinity in Nature, the Sublime. What makes this body of work truly unique from past creations is the artist's inclusion of recognizing the darkness, not only in nature, but in life. Darkness meaning "trauma."
It is thus through the Artist's techniques, that she expresses the overcoming of trauma and the seeking of beauty and light. Her organic layering depicts the messiness of life. Drips signify the cathartic release of both pain and beauty. Gold is utilized to depict Light; or God and Divinity. This Light is above all, magnified by the darkness.
As a viewer, I am enthralled by the bold use of the powdered gold and how intensely bright it is in the sunlight… it feels as if I have fallen into the vortex of this painting and I'm standing in this wilderness of the Wyoming landscape… The magnitude of "Aspen Trees: A Prayer" specifically requires me to stand on the other side of the Gallery to take the 60" x 72" painting in fully. I am soothed, baffled, incensed, uplifted, ecstatic, and at peace all at the same time when viewing this series.

Heading to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada this weekend for a puppet building workshop [learning new skills]. I will have some time to eat and veg Saturday and Sunday night - likely enough time to just eat and watch a movie or something as workshop ends at 5pm each night. However, if there is something I should try to see while in town in those early evening hours, I am open to suggestions. Anyone ... anyone??

I was preparing to frost 24 chocolate raspberry [crack] cupcakes and the mail carrier arrived yesterday with a package from the UK!! With 2 hours before I was to leave for the party, my jacket was finally here!! It was a warm, spring day and I was at odds with my decision to wear these skinny black slacks that hugged my legs [too hot] when I remembered that I still had the pants from 1988 that my friend James 'made' for me when he sewed red into the side crease of an old pair of parachute pants and fashioned Michael Jackson-esque buckles down each side. I wore them to the Bad tour bitches! Weeeeee! My 80s outfit was the most 80s and I had a great time.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to the United States Postal Service customs for protecting these United States from my brand new jacket from the UK. It was shipped on the 8th, arrived in NY on the 9th and held up in customs since. I live a mere 60 miles from NYC and, over a week later, have still not received my new jacket that I was going to wear to a party tomorrow evening. Fuckity fuck fuck fuck. One more mail delivery [4pm Saturday] for a fashion miracle to occur.
My best friend of almost 25 years is having his 40th and encouraged people to dress 80s for his 80s themed party. I ordered a classic Adam Ant-style, goth/pirate jacket for the occasion. I have a stand-by but, it's not nearly as decadent.

Support For My New Puppet Company
[Apr. 3rd, 2009|

If you feel comfortable passing along this information, please do. I'm in the beginning stages of fund-raising for my puppet company Up In Arms. As some of you may know, it's been an exciting month teaching my first puppet-making workshop at the Interactive Museum in Middletown, NY. It's given me a huge creative boost and I look forward to developing shows and performing with my puppets. I designed this fun, hip t-shirt that I hope will help raise some funds. The information is as follows:
My company's tag-line "Grab Life by the Puppet!" is an ultra cute & hip t-shirt ...for anyone with a quirky sense of humor or staunch puppet lover/ puppeteer. I'm raising funds for my new puppet company Up In Arms. It's already had a terrific start with my puppet making workshop at the Interactive Museum in Middletown, NY. Plans are under way to develop programs for local schools and libraries as well as theatrical shows geared toward adults. Purchasing a t-shirt for $20 goes a long way toward the cost of much needed puppet building supplies, show equipment, hardware etc. 100 shirts would be great, 200 would be wonderful and 500 would be just amazing. Pre-order today and reserve your size and color. Shirts are 100% cotton, American Apparel, professional silk screened. Available in red and yellow. Check out

It's been 5 days since
has posted. Weird how you notice someone's absence.
has been CRAZY absent too. Hello? Come back. Because of Michael Jackson night, I had to watch idol last night and was craving a commentary by
. Really - they are seriously lacking in personality this year. I liked maybe 3 or 4 of them and still - meh. Who cares? I'm not much of a tv person to begin with.
Went shopping tonight and Daniel was working. I see him standing there in t-shirt and jeans. He wears fashion well but, isn't a fashion plate. He just looks fucking adorable and I want to eat him up always. He complained of being hot. I could sense the heat coming from him but, the store was cool. It was the produce section! He just can't help being a young, hot latino :) I can't believe I've been 'seeing' him for 6 months and the relationship feels good and fresh. Partly because we only see each other once or twice a week and partly because there's just a lot of humor. I like that there hasn't been a rush to say "I love you" though I'm sure it's been on both of our minds at times. Sometimes I feel it and sometimes I absolutely don't so - it's good I've kept it mum. Just feels like it keeps the relationship more mature, realistic I suppose. I always have this need/want to be able to support me and my love interest but, on an artists salary, it ain't gonna happen anytime soon. Other times, I believe I don't want that responsibility and still crave coming and going as I wish. Honestly though, I have no need to get my physical needs filled anywhere else. He just does it for me and it rocks. Mmmmmmmm.

work write up
[Feb. 24th, 2009|
06:47 pm
Just documenting for shits and giggles. After having a bitch of a time with job stress last year, I got into this head space where I couldn't let the petty wenches get me down anymore and secretly BEG the universe that they fire me. That's not to say I act up or piss anyone off - quite the contrary. I'm a happy co-worker and a good team player so, when my supervisor [cold fish] slapped me with a write-up today for 'causing' over $2000 in credits to be written in my department, I practically laughed it off and gave a good, well-thought, written response. March 1, we all 'fear' they will be cutting more jobs. I'm just hoping this is the set-up to justify letting me go.

sorbet powers activate
[Feb. 18th, 2009|
01:22 pm
Nothing is better on a sore throat than a nice hot cup of tea and natural fruit sorbet. My mom had been sick for over a week with flu symptoms and bronchitis and I felt like I had been fending something off for weeks. Enter Daniel this past weekend and when my throat started to get sore on Monday, I instantly thought it was sexual activity that caused it. I won't go into detail but, you can imagine why. Yesterday, the doctor gave me antibiotics, which I only save for the worst scenarios. I hate being on antibiotics but, sometimes they are necessary. Last night, the fever started and I realized I had probably caught the flu from all the wonderful sick people in my life and sex, if anything, just took my defenses down more.
Messaged with a good friend last night who I always thought 'had the life.' Has his own apartment - corporate job in the city and often goes out drinking with friends. When he told me he was depressed and lonely, I was a little taken aback. He explained that the job isn't fulfilling and he questions who his friends are. He just goes out to drink to numb himself in attempts to forget the relationship he once had over a year ago. I remember the relationship just wasn't working but, wow, to hear him upset about it now was unexpected. I felt bad for him and it made me contemplate how we all cope... whether it's drinking, drugs, sex, food or something 'healthier' like media [movies/ games]. Humans are a fascinating creature.

Coraline and the weekend wrap-up
[Feb. 15th, 2009|
08:20 pm
Coraline was wonderful. I thought it was a great mix of entertainment and Neil Gaiman darkness. I admit, I didn't do much research on the film beyond knowing Gaiman wrote the original so, it was extra special to find out Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders were voicing two of the characters. One local theater was screening it in 3D and I was unaware their normal $9.50 ticket price was spiked to $12 for a 3D feature. O well. Luckily, I can afford it and my Papito enjoyed it as well. [Sorry em-j but, he technically is a Papito and I MUST call him that... he's too cute.] We saw the 9:20 show and got home around 11:30. I was BEAT. Saturday night, we went to Karma Road - avoiding the Valentine restaurant crowds and then went back to my house for some snuggle time. Daniel got me a couple of nice, printed, organic cotton t-shirts as a Valentine gift. I don't know how serious this is getting but, yikes, physically, he still turns me on like CRAZY after almost 6 months of this non-dating dating dance that we're doing.... and I'm 99.9% sure we've both been completely monogamous during this time too. The awesome thing is - I'm keeping my cool and my inspiration and have been more busy than ever with everything. His sense of humor keeps me laughing too.
Went to my friend Christine's to talk details about DJ-ing her daughter's Sweet 16. Her daughter is like a niece to me and a real bright and wonderful kid... theater brat like me and just a good egg. I'll be tag-team DJ-ing with my friend Rich.
I'm amazed at the amount of running around - errands - laundry - food prep - I handle on Sundays. It turns out to be the busiest and most accomplished day of the week.
My mom had been sick with the flu and I feel like I've been fighting it off all week. Just generally tired and the throat has been sore but that could have been caused by other activities shared with the Papito. Immunity Defense vitamins, orange juice and throat lozenges have been taken steadily.
Avenue Q [my 2nd time] planned for Saturday! Yippee!

The following italicized article is from www.fadedyouthblog.com:
Britney Spears has been hard at work on her highly-anticipated upcoming album — but last night (November 10) the girl just wanted to have some fun!
Joined by boyfriend Jason Trawick, pop diva Britney was spotted rushing into the Troubador nightclub in Los Angeles to see a show.
The lovebirds were on hand to check out pop punk band All Time Low who were playing the venue on Wednesday night.
Meanwhile, Britney and producer Max Martin are reunited once again on Britney's upcoming album as Martin was the producer for Brit's debut hit single Baby One More Time and the most recent hit 3.
Britney's latest album should be ready by early 2011 so it won't be too long before Britney "does it again."

SCOTTS VALLEY >> Priscilla Fischer can enthrall a room of 36 fourth- and fifth-graders in Scotts Valley with the sound of her violin.
Fischer played a classic song from The Beatles, a tune from "Peter and the Wolf" and some heartwarming songs about love in light of Valentine's Day.
Fischer is one of a handful of musicians from the Santa Cruz Symphony visiting classrooms across Santa Cruz County as a prequel to four free concerts put on by the symphony for an estimated 4,000 students. The concerts and the visits are an effort to introduce students to the world of classical music.
About 30 schools will have members of the symphony's orchestra drop by classrooms to explain the finer points of music.
On a recent day, Fischer visited students at Baymonte Christian School in Scotts Valley.
"I love getting to entertain the children and talk to them about being a musician," Fischer said.
While she explained the finer points of playing the violin, the children squirmed in their seats listening to the facts. Some kicked their feet back and forth while others craned their necks looking around the room.
But their fidgeting stopped when she put her bow to the strings of the fiddle to create a tune.
She asked the students to try and follow her instrument as she played along to a song. When she finished played a viola to the tune of The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," hands shot into the air to ask questions about the tune and why the strings created a certain sound.
As the session progressed, Fischer explained how music can be picked apart and appreciated.
"I kind of think of music as a puzzle for your ears," she told the group.
Baymonte's music teacher Craig Simmons sat in the back of the room, taking cues from Fischer of when to play music and smiling at times.
He called the symphony's annual program a blessing for children because it exposes them to classic music at the symphony and the role of individual instruments in the orchestra.
"If (the kids) had a slight interest to begin with, then the interest blossoms," he said. "They really want to play more."
Fischer, a member of the symphony since 1981, was patient with the children, fielding questions from most students that ranged from the simple query of the difference between a fiddle and violin to the complex of what notes were played during a song.
"The children are engaged with me, whether it was 20 years ago or now," she said.
Though she played older songs more akin to older audiences than elementary school students, all of them sat enraptured.
Benjamin Short, marketing manager for the symphony, said the goal of the classroom visits and the concert in coming weeks goes beyond an introduction to the orchestra and classical music.
"I think seeing one of the musicians personally, they get a connection to how to music works," he said.

The Accidental Entrepreneur
I'm the accidental entrepreneur. I did not grow up selling lemonade to neighbors or inventing products to sell to my friends. I just didn't think that way. I went to college and majored in accounting so I could find employment and pay my student loans once I graduated. I wanted a solid job and I wanted a solid income. I wanted to work hard, have a regular paycheck, and I really wanted health insurance. I wanted the stability I lacked as a child and I thought a "good" job would give that to me. ... Read More
Blogging is About Finding the Voice Within You
If you're new to blogging, it can be intimidating. When you first start, writing can feel like an overwhelming task. And some people, no matter how hard they try, are not cut out for blogging.

Content Creation: How Does Your Mind Manage the Process?

I get up and decide to do something to the house. I decide to fix the above the front door panel. And once that is completed I decide to look at the sealing strips on the front double glazing windows, and I pull them off. What do I find? I find brick and a large open cavity. I ponder if I also fill the cavity between the window frame and brick if it would block more noise out. Afterall these aren't the quietest noise blockers I've ever know. This also pulls the paint off so now I need some gloss paint and some sealant, plenty of sealant.
I head out to Wilkos where the check out girl looks at all the sealant and paint and says "hell the weathers nice who wants to be out in the sun when you can be indoors painting and what ever". I head home and get the job done.
I get a parcel through the door. It is that solar charger I've had on order for a long time now.
And according to the LEDS it is already charging in the sun.
I'm not sure who wrote the blurped on the back but it sure doesn't sound correct. So will this be any good?
I make the retro room into a bedroom.
And soon enough Les turns up. We head out to the tip and then the butchers, followed by Aldi and the Jet petrol station for some logs.
We sit out in the garden, have a beer and light a fire.
The BBQ is lite
And I get out the Cornish Apple Cider of Heligan. It is nice too.
They both try to use all the logs whilst it is still day time and warm, they're a brainy pair.
And with that I pour some more cider.
Whatever it is they are talking about it is serous stuff.
To the point they are Googling it.
Ah the BBQ charcoal is ready to cook on.
And so the meat products go on.
Life is better with a Brazilian
And yep where the fire is it is warm, for the air has gone cold.
For some reason he's not feeling the heat.
An so I get out the Martini.
It says something but I'm not sure what.
The night draws in and I'm tired. We are all tired, we all smell of smoke. And so the night ends.

'Jim on Margaret'
August 22, 2006
This is a photo from the early years of Jim and Margaret.
'JIM & MARGARET' is a collaborative/performance art created by myself (Stephanie Hough) and artist Cian Mc Conn. This work has been ongoing for several year's since we met in art college (Crawford college of Art, Cork city). "Jim" & "Margaret" are two characters who are cinematic in their nature, that we created which can be seen as our alter ego's, which we use to enact subversive/violent/sexual scenes. I believe because the two main protagonists are both male and female, it was hard not to embody or for that matter assume that J & M are a couple of some kind. in that case J & M started to question the preconcived notion's that are attached to the social standards of relationships between man and woman. and also utilising the conventions of photography on the domestic scale of documenting familys, friends and boyfriends/girlfriends we decided that the photograph presented many different opportunities for displaying this kind of work. such as the use of the photo album we used to display a majority of these photos. 'JIM & MARGARET' challenge the ideal of any relationship through hyperfake engagements and explored through opposing class structures i.e: posh j & m and j & m as scumbags in their flat, each situation is no better than the other. It all starts calmly and creshedo's into a violent, perverse domestic. sort of Adam & Eve steeped in original sin go wild in the garden of Eden coming soon to a still cinema near you………… -STEPHANIE HOUGH- 24/08/2006
