For Ed and Nancy Strieker, their dream came true on Dec. 7 when they opened New Braunfels' first smoothie shop, The Smoothie Stop, in the Hunter's Creek Center on Texas 46 West. "It was Nancy's dream to open The Smoothie Slop," Ed Strieker said. "My father, who lives in California, became seriously ill and 1 had to resign from teaching to take care of him, so it was a good time to open." The Strickers have lived in New Braunfels for 20 years. Ed Strieker was a tennis coach at Canyon High School for 17 years, while Nancy Strieker retired from teaching home economics at OakRun Sixth Grade Center in 2006. The couple said they wanted to go into the smoothie business to give New Braunfels residents a healthy alternative to sweet drinks. "Our smoothies are all (, From staff reports LOCAL AGENT EARNS REALTOR E-PRO CERTIFICATION - Kathy Carl of Coldwell Banker, D'Ann Harper REALTORS has successfully completed the REALTOR e-PRO course to become one of a select few real estate professionals to earn the certification offered through the National Association of REALTORS.

She and her husband, Ed, opened New Braunfels' first smoothie shop to offer a healthy alternative to sugary drinks and pastries. The shop also serves a variety of coffees and sugar-free baked goods. made with organic fruits and juices," Ed Strieker said. Nancy Strieker said she got the idea of opening the shop while traveling to tennis tournaments with their 14-year-old daughter, With more than 70 percent of consumers beginning their real estate research on the Internet, e-PRO certified agents have the experience and expertise to meet the demands of today's buyers and sellers. "The real estate industry has undergone a fundamental change over the past several years," Carl said. "A majority of consumers are taking the time to conduct their own research prior to contacting an agent. In turn, real estate professionals must be knowledgeable of how technology can assist them in serving the needs of the buying and selling public." The REALTOR e-PRO certification course is presented Suzanne. Suzanne trains at the John Newcombe Tennis Ranch and plays in tournaments across the state.

ICTFL Fall Conference 2016
October 20 - 22 • Tinley Park Convention Center
THANK YOU for attending our 2016 Fall Conference --- Look for news and updates on our 2017 30th Anniversary Conference soon.
2016! What a momentous year it has been! This is the year which culminates all of our work on the latest teacher evaluation system and on PERA. No Child Left Behind is being replaced with ESSA, the Every Student Succeeds Act. And it is an election year. No, we will not be bored!
However, to make sure that does not happen and to help our members continue on their paths of excellence, ICTFL will continue its tradition of superior professional development opportunities. At the end of February, "Stamp Your Passport with Proficiency" is our WinterFest/WinterFLES theme. The summer will bring more OPI trainings. In September there will be a back-to-school workshop with Helena Curtain. And Toni Theisen, another highly acclaimed world language expert, will be here with us for our Fall Conference 2016. Look below to find descriptions of both workshops and sessions to be presented at this not-to-be-missed Professional Development opportunity.
So, plan now to attend many of ICTFL's fine professional development events, including "It's Showtime! Spotlight on Core Practices in Language Learning" at the Tinley Park Convention Center on October 20-22, 2016. ONLINE REGISTRATION is available. If you prefer to register by mail, please download the registration form below.
We're very excited about our Fall Conference Workshop Trainer and Keynote Speaker, Toni Theisen and know that she will truly help Illinois educators facing all of the changes in our field. This year's conference also offers an opportunity to learn about the Illinois Seal of Biliteracy from both ISBE and presenters whose schools have already implemented the program. Our Fall Conference '16 co-chairs are Kathryn Wolfkiel of Barrington High School and Jane Swisher of District 67 are busy preparing for great proofessional development. Learn more about them below.
Kathryn Wolfkiel, 2016 ICTFL Fall Conference Co-Chair
Kathryn is a French teacher and Department Chair of World Language at Barrington High School, as well as an adjunct professor at National Louis University. She is a professional development junkie who loves to attend conferences and learn from her colleagues. She has presented at past ICTFL and Central States Conferences, giving both workshops and sessions on assessment and curriculum. She presented at the Central States Conference with her colleagues Michael Camp and Jane Swisher. Their session about interpersonal communication was a Central States All-Star and was repeated this year. She is one of the original Teacher-Leaders from TALL-IL 1.0 and attended this summer's TALL-IL 2.5 as well as an OPI workshop in the summer of 2014. She is proud to be a part of this vibrant organization of which she is a charter member.
Jane Swisher, 2016 ICTFL Fall Conference Co-Chair
Jane Swisher is a National Board Certified Spanish teacher at Deerpath Middle School, District 67 in Lake Forest. She has taught for 38 years in both the United States and overseas. A member of ICTFL, she was one of the original TALL-IL Teacher-Leaders and is an Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) training alumni.

|Storing length information for CLOB on disk
|Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:58:10 GMT
Hello, It is apparent that we would benefit from extending the length information stored about CLOBs in the Derby on-disk format. Currently we set aside two bytes at the head of the data stream for storing the byte length of the CLOB. This is not sufficient, and can only be used for small CLOBs. For larger CLOBs we have to read through all the data to find the length. I see three major steps in this process: a) Determine which information we want to store. b) Determine how and when the information is obtained and stored. c) Specify the actual on-disk format. Regarding a), we have a few options: 1) Store byte length only. 2) Store character length only. 3) Store both byte length and character length. 4) Could also add distribution data for 1, 2, and 3 byte representations? From a JDBC API point of view, the character length is the most relevant one. Internally, Derby might benefit from knowing the byte length as well, since it can't be easily calculated from the character length. The reason for this is that we encode data using the modified UTF-8 format, where a single character can take up from one to three bytes. Note that there are three aspects of finding the character length from the raw bytes: - reading all the raw bytes - decoding the raw bytes - potential page cache "pollution" The length often has to be obtained to validate user input (positions and lengths), which means Derby has to do a lot of unnecessary work. I'm bringing up b) because JDBC has methods for inserting data without specifying the length. Throwing out some ideas: - obtain required information on the fly, update immediately after insert is done - insert data without length information, then * update on first subsequent request * use a background task to update information * add a "maintenance routine" for updating the information I'm asking people to share their opinions on this matter, and I'll try to answer any questions you might have to take the discussion forwards. -- Kristian

France captain Pascal Pape said they will face England in Paris on Saturday with no scars from last season's disastrous campaign.
France captain Pascal Pape has insisted they will face England in their Six Nations opener in Paris on Saturday with no scars from last season's disastrous campaign.
For France, 2013 was one of the worst years in their recent history with les Bleus finishing bottom of the table in Europe's major international rugby union championship for the first time since Italy became the 'sixth nation' in 2000.
But Pape, speaking on the eve of the Stade de France showdown, said a France side coached by former Test captain Philippe Saint-André were over the worst.
"Yes, we've turned the page," Stade Français lock Pape said on Friday.
"Last season was complicated for us, but that doesn't mean we should cast everything about it into the dustbin.
"We also gained a lot in terms of experience, that's going to help us.
"Now we want to concentrate on 2014, to think of the future and to the huge match tomorrow against England.
"All the players are super-motivated, we want to show a great image of the France team."
Pape, captain in place of the injured Thierry Dusautoir, said there would be little need for motivational speeches on his part given France were playing arch-rivals England in the latest edition of the fixture known on both sides of the Channel as 'Le Crunch'.
"France v England matches are among the most iconic in the history of French rugby, there's no need to talk (to the players) too much, I'm hoping there'll be more action than talking, motivation will arrive by itself."
Both France and England have powerful packs and Pape said he was expecting an immense clash between the two sets of forwards.
"The English have always been very strong up front, it's part of their tradition.
"It's a super challenge for us. If we, the forwards, show up and we play them at their own game, then we can get a result."
Pape said he'd inherited the captain's armband with "a great deal of pride".
"All I want is to start off with a victory because last year we began by losing to Italy and that set us up for a bad championship," he added.
"I want us to give everything on Saturday, so we won't have any regrets."
England have yet to lose against France since Stuart Lancaster became their coach, the Red Rose triumphing 23-13 at Twickenham last year after a 24-22 success in Paris in 2012.
France's last win over England was a 19-12 victory in the quarter-finals of the 2011 World Cup in Auckland when Marc Lievremont and Martin Johnson respectively were in charge of the teams.
That result signalled the end of 2003 World Cup-winning captain Johnson's time as England boss, while Lievremont was replaced by Saint-André after the tournament despite taking France to the final, where they suffered an agonising 8-7 loss to hosts New Zealand.

The Future of Protecting Journalists
The aftershock of Snowden's revelations seems to have died down. Other than a few more journalists who are now using encrypted emails, nothing much has changed. Security experts are still juggling terms such as SecureDrop, TOR, PGP and many more, but just how many media professionals are paying attention to them?
Journalists around the globe are increasingly being harassed, censored, monitored or even worse, have been stopped from doing their work. According to Reporters Without Borders, 35 journalists have been killed and 167 others imprisoned in 2016 alone.
However, according to our work in the field, we note that the threats faced by journalists are mostly related to local actors and not some form of high-level surveillance. Local thugs, mayors, politicians and landlords have shown themselves to be the most common enemies.
At the same time, the tools used to conduct these acts of surveillance are becoming cheaper and easier to obtain and use. So while journalists should discuss and investigate larger issues, they should pay more attention to their local challenges.
There's also this new phenomena, where journalists are finding it very difficult to protect their sources, the people who are providing them data and information. Journalists need to be more careful about their digital footprints and the kinds of information they are releasing in stories. They also need to do more to protect their research, data, electronic devices, work spaces, and on/offline identities.
With regards to digital security in the office, a few key questions need to be answered:
- What is the protocol for using encrypted emails?
- Who will people refer to if there are security issues?
- How will they contact this expert or reliable individual?
- Do they live in a country where encryption is outlawed?
Journalists are also currently using more chat applications in their smart phones than laptops. Here, it's important that they choose between Whatsapp and Signal, which are already equipped with end-to-end encryption, making them far more secure than free-service email, with Whatsapp looking to soon integrate fingerprint verification. Beyond these tools, are they even using secure passwords? Knowledge in creating better passwords is actually just as, if not more important, than using complex applications.
Most importantly, addressing all the above issues requires a change in behavior towards security, which is usually the hardest to achieve. The journalists of the world will hopefully not have to see another prominent victim like Snowden for that to happen.
Screening Papuan Films in Yogyakarta
On 21 April, 6 short films by Papuan filmmakers and activists opened Jagongan Media Rakyat 2016 (The People's Media Festival) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
The films from EngageMedia's Papuan Voices collection included Save The Karon, Papuan School, Pearl In The Noken, Mama Mariode and Master of Our Land. The film Perempuan dan Miras (Women and Alcohol) by the Papua Pride community was also screened.
The motive of the screening was to inform to people outside Papua about what exactly was happening inside it. Richard Suwae, one of the founders of Papua Pride, commented that film is the best medium to transfer knowledge and information, and that it's much easier to distribute. They hope that through film, they can increase solidarity among Papuans.
Both organizations aim to foster a positive perception about the Papuan people, as we've observed that in recent times, the media tends to report news that portrays them in a more negative light.
In the same week, Papuan Voices was also screened during a monthly discussion as part of Festival Film Pelajar Yogyakarta (Yogyakarta Student Film Festival). The organizer of the event wanted to show films made by Papuans, as most films about the province are made by people from outside it.
Snowden: Systemic Problems Need Systemic Change
It's not everyday that we can see an academic and a security expert turned whistleblower talk whilst being completely able to understand and complement each another. This is why the events that unfolded during Rightscon 2016 were interesting.
The academic, Ronald J. Deibert, Professor of Political Science and Director of The Citizen Lab, opened the discussion with several topics that have been much explored before, one of them being the special place and relationship, and more specifically the responsibility, of academia on the issue of public security versus the state. The security expert, Edward Snowden, who is now residing in Moscow, Russia, talked to the hundreds of participants present at the discussion with great enthusiasm, as always. He elaborated upon the meaning of current security threats and the challenges they pose to culture and education.
In Snowden's opinion, technology can protect freedom but it can also become a threat to humanity. He said that right now, even though a great revelation regarding the need for online security has occurred in Europe, little has been done to help people in China or North Korea, where the public lives in almost total isolation.
Both speakers agreed that we need to develop a multi-perspective approach to strengthen civil society's defense against intrusion from state and non-state intelligence bodies. Professor Ronald specifically mentioned how the role to develop such an approach can fall upon the people who are active in universities around the globe. They can offer help by conducting research based on their own institutions, in order for the movement to benefit from findings based on data and proven methodology. Furthermore, these kind of activities will not only inspire technicians but also law students and their respective departments.
Ronald stated that funds for doing corporate research are much greater compared to the funds going to universities, and with big money, the corporate world can comparatively do a lot more things. But still there's a need and a challenge for academia to continue their research in campuses he said, pointing out that most of the popular software and internet infrastructure we are using today sprang from campuses throughout the Western hemisphere, largely due to the freedom and space provided by academic culture. He also suggested using fellowship programs to attract new students to study this field.
Ronald believes that this kind of academia-inspired movement can be molded to create a civil society intelligence that can counter state intelligence. The movement's task is to gather data and find evidence that will work against state intelligence and private security companies, especially to help prove how certain state intelligence activities conflict with fundamental human rights.
Related to this, Snowden added that such a movement will need to work alongside journalists, especially now since they have been heavily targeted by the state. On the other side, journalists can become spokespersons of the movement, getting the word out to the public.
Snowden showed a trend of how the state is becoming more and more powerful. Practices like inserting spyware or malware concealed within an update and/or software upgrade becoming more common. Privacy rights are shun everyday all over the world. This, in turn, creates cultural and academic questions about why this is happening, which the younger generation will especially need to be confronted by.
For Snowden, it's hard to explain why the world is seemingly becoming stricter with ever increasing restrictions to freedom. A culture of 24-hour surveillance has become normalized, so be careful. Remember to look over your shoulder.
Seeing Impact in Progress at Good Pitch Europe
On 24 May 2016, Andrew Lowenthal, Director of EngageMedia, and myself, Communications and Outreach Coordinator, attended the 4th installment of Good Pitch Europe in Stockholm, Sweden. The event brought together 7 feature-length films, over 170 organizations and 259 participants.
Good Pitch, which was originally developed by Britdoc and the Sundance Documentary Institute in 2008, aims to amplify the impact of documentary films that address social and environmental issues.
Good Pitch is different to standard pitching forums where filmmakers ask for financial support and look for distribution avenues. It instead seeks to forge partnerships between filmmakers and a wide range of stakeholders, including NGOS, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, corporate partners, broadcasters, educators and policy-makers, creating coalitions and campaigns around environmental and social issues, which are good for the partners, good for the films and good for society.
This was my first Good Pitch experience, which I've heard so much about over recent years through the global Video for Change community and through some of the acclaimed films it has supported, such as Citizen Four, No Fire Zone and The Look of Silence.
As Good Pitch2 is being hosted for the first time in Southeast Asia next year by Indonesian organization In-Docs, and which EngageMedia is an outreach partner of, it was especially useful for me to learn from the organizers and participants, and witness the process first-hand. After groups of production teams had presented their projects, which were mostly 80% completed, foundations, media outlets, organizations and even companies such as Google and Vine pledged financial and distribution support. It would be amazing to see how we could get similar support for critical films from the region.
However, the one-day event itself is just a fraction of what goes into the work for Good Pitch. Leading up to Jakarta in May 2017, five films will be selected to receive mentorship such as impact and pitching workshops, outreach support which includes connecting the films to hundreds of potential allies that can help them reach wider (or more precise) audiences and ultimately aiding them to produce more real and lasting impact. And we're looking very forward to being a part of making all that happen!
Battle Against Bali Reclamation
Earlier this year, a group of protesters rode from Jakarta to Bali on bicycles as an effort to raise awareness of an environmentally damaging reclamation plan. This is just one action from the protest campaign that's been held for the past two years, that has been doing everything in its power to ensure that Benoa Bay in Bali, Indonesia, does not become a giant tourist playground.
Before that event, thousands of people including activists, NGOs, artists, students, expats, tourists, local communities, celebrities and Indonesians living abroad gathered in front of the Bali Governor's office demonstrating against the plan. These are both the kind of mass actions being carried out by the growing For Bali (or #FORBALI) movement.
For Bali itself is a civil community which consists of students, NGOs activists, artists, youth, musicians, academics, environmental consultants and other individuals who believe that the Tanjong Benoa reclamation plan is destructive towards nature.
Alongside demonstrations, the campaign also garners people's participation through popular media such as posters, documentary films, comics and it even launched a song titled, 'Bali Tolak Reklamasi', composed by well-known Indonesian musicians Superman Is Dead, The Bullhead, Nymphea, Gold Voice and Nosstress.
The issue first came to light in December 2012 when the Governor of Bali, Made Mangku, secretly signed a legal letter to give permission to PT. Tirta Wahana Bali International to reclaim Benoa Bay, which is in the Southern part of Bali and along the Indian Ocean. The corporation aims to build a huge tourist district and a theme park similar to Disneyland, together with an international hospital, college, marina, and retail district, each complete with their own personal docks and yachts, hotels, apartments and golf courses.
Many studies have stated that the corporation should not conduct the reclamation as it will cause several issues such as flooding, increased risk of drowning, social and cultural disorder, and serious harm to biodiversity in sea and on land.
Benoa Bay is also a sacred area because of the presence of 60 natural sites, including 19 estuaries and 17 small islands that emerge during the low tide. The plan to "develop" 700 hectares of the bay will damage all of these sacred sites.
The For Bali movement is growing throughout the world, with artists, musicians, activists and filmmakers protesting on the streets to pressure the Indonesian government to stop the reclamation.
Open Call: Good Pitch² Southeast Asia
Conceptualized by BRITDOC and Sundance Documentary Institute, Good Pitch is not just an ordinary pitching forum where filmmakers ask for financial support and search for distribution avenues. Good Pitch forges powerful partnerships between multi-disciplinary stakeholders – NGOs, philanthropists, social entrepreneurs, corporate / brand partners, broadcasters, educators, policy makers, and any changemakers who can utilize great documentary films to make their intended impact in the society.
Since the first international event in 2009, Good Pitch has spread around the world in satellite forums called Good Pitch² (Good Pitch Squared). Good Pitch² Southeast Asia will be held in Jakarta in May 2017. The call for documentary projects will open in March 2016.
Five films will be selected to receive various mentorship and support, including an IMPACT workshop, outreach support, pitching workshop, and an opportunity to pitch the project in front of powerful potential alliances that can help the documentaries reach an impact.

Collaborate to Create: Tech Camp Myanmar 2016
In partnership with the U.S. Embassy and the Innovation Lab: Phanteeyar, this Tech Camp aimed to promote inclusiveness in Myanmar by creating technology strategies for a new Myanmar. Among the many topics that were discussed were data collection, citizen journalism, online/offline community organizing, digital privacy, data visualization, tools for emergency and data mapping.
International trainers from BBC, RFA, the Carter Centre, Change.org, Open Development Initiative, IRI and ICT4Peace showcased various tech solutions and strategies that could potentially aid the growing democracy. Local trainers like myself and others from different organizations also attended and trained at the camp.
Esra Dogrmaci from the BBC and I specifically trained on 'Social Video and Podcast Production', where we introduced a selection of mobile video editing apps for iOS and Android. The focus of our session was on how to produce short and effective campaign videos for access on slow internet connections. We also spoke on tactics for reaching new audiences via social media, specifically for mobile video
Esra suggested using text-based video tools because they don't require getting a good voiceover or presenter. The strength of making text-based video is that everyone can easily understand concepts and ideas through a combination of text and photographs.
Our participants had a lot of fun producing content using the apps and techniques we recommended, and were really excited to finish their projects within the given time frame. The four groups made up of our participants worked on themes such as drug abuse, child rights and caring for the elderly.
One participant from the Pat Jasan organization, which is conducting an anti-drug campaign in the Kachin area, shared that they'd like to work on a documentary on drug abuse because it's a serious problem there. He felt that the session was very valuable for him, adding that although he can only produce short mobile videos now, he hopes that he'll be able to produce documentary films with professional editing software.
Tech Camp Myanmar was a great platform to bring innovative groups of people together, engage them in meaningful training, and kick-start a conversation on the importance of digital communication strategies. Welcome to the New Myanmar!
Bringing Migrant Films to Rural Myanmar
Based on MCMAHT's reports, the area is home to many who become migrant workers in neighborhood countries like Thailand and Malaysia. We found it fitting then, to screen films from Crossroads, our collection of advocacy videos on migrant workers, refugees, and stateless people in Malaysia.
Beginning our Journey
At 10am on a Monday morning, I, Kyalyi from EngageMedia, and MCMAHT volunteers departed from Yangon by bus and we arrived at the town of Zeekone at about 4pm. Kwin Sann village is located in the vicinity of Zeekone, but we had to travel for two hours on motorcycles to get there. We arrived safely at Kwin Sann at 6pm.
Most of people in the village are of Catholic faith, Karen ethnicity and speak the Karen language. Thankfully for me, one of the characters from a film of mine is a Karen girl, so I was familiar enough with their language.
On Tuesday, I visited the village leader's home to get permission to screen our films there. I was delightfully surprised that they chose to screen the films in the area where they congregate to pray, called "a Holy Place for Mary".
The area faces a sever lack of electricity and the people there can only get power from small solar generators. We faced an issue in making our projector work and finally we had to think of an alternative. Some of the villagers have small TVs with 14-inch screens, but I decided that it would be better to screen the films from my own laptop which has a screen of almost 16 inches.
I'll never forget how much I worried about the battery life of my laptop for the screening the next day. But by a stroke of luck, using one of the small solar generators somehow worked out.
The Screening Day
At 5pm on Wednesday, after candlelight prayers, the MCMAHT volunteers and I started began the much-anticipated screening. We opened with the filmed, 'In Search of Shelter', a film about Myanmar refugees and migrant workers in Malaysia. In this video, a Karen man talks about the issues facing migrant workers in hopes that villagers who often "export" such workers would better understand them. We also showed the films, 'Here to Help', 'Polis Pao', 'Siti Got Cheated', 'Trap' and 'Forsaken'.
The audience, which consisted of men and women aged 10–74, engaged in a lively post-screening discussion and answered a questionnaire on the issues raised in the films. A resource person from MCMAHT spoke in further detail with the villagers about official documents and how individuals looking to become migrant workers can better protect themselves.
One of the villagers who came back from Malaysia said that he is really afraid to ever go to Malaysia again because of the police there. He shared that was always staying and hiding in the darkest corners of the factory in which he worked for only three months before returning to Myanmar.
His account served as a stark reminder of the realities faced by migrant workers throughout the region, and we were glad that the screening of films from Crossroads helped to spark such dialogues in remote locations where even watching television is considered a luxury.
Finally, Some Good News about Organizational Security
When a group of us "organizational security practitioners"* gathered in Prague this February, we were cautiously optimistic about what we could achieve.
Many security experts and practitioners have been gaining invaluable experience while working to strengthen human right defenders and civil society organisations' awareness, ability and confidence in thwarting security threats while continuing on their striving for positive change. Commonly referred to as "organizational security", this engagement comprises a complex, evolving and multifaceted process which has been fraught with challenges.
So, earlier this month, 15 such practitioners convened in Prague to share our experiences, resources and approaches, and to address our collective challenges by coalescing our understanding of what organisational security is, and how we, a fledgling community of trainers and organisational security practitioners, can grow and hone our practice.
The groups that participated were:
- Confabium
- the engine room
- EngageMedia
- SAFETAG/Internews
- Association for Progressive Communications
- The ISC Project
- Access Now
- Digital Society of Zimbabwe
- Article19
- Front Line Defenders
- HIVOS-DIF / pantraining
More specifically, we put thought and effort into understanding and answering some questions:
- What do we mean by organizational security? what are its reaches and boundaries?
- What are the components (or "stages") of a successful organizational security process? How are they interrelated?
- What are the barriers and the enablers towards success for the organizations? for us, the practitioners?
- What are some of the resources already in place? what more is needed?
- How can we benefit from each others' experiences? How can we better leverage our collective expertise?
The result was an inspiring start, which we like to share and expand.
We want Prague to be the beginning. We were very encouraged and buoyed by the depth and breadth of the collective knowledge to be tapped, and resolved to use the Prague gathering as a launching pad towards a larger knowledge space and a community of practice.
If you are attending the Internet Freedom Festival [https://internetfreedomfestival.org/], we invite you to join us to discuss what we started in Prague, hear our outline of how to grow as an independent, open, and collaborative community; and if you are interested, to join efforts. You'll find us at the organizational security session, currently scheduled for Friday, March 4. We want to hear from you about the challenges you face implementing organizational security support and your solutions; about your own organizational security systems and practices; and how you could benefit and contribute as an active member of this growing community.
Enabling Storytelling: Video for Human Rights Advocacy
By Egbert Wits, Project Manager Video for Change Impact Cookbook. This blogpost first appeared on New Tactics.
Today, video has quite possibly become the strongest conveyor of stories. Considering the power of storytelling, its potential to leave you hanging by the edge of your seat, change minds and force audiences to see things differently, it is no wonder video is so popular within human rights work. Nonetheless many organizations have a rather simplistic view, or approach, on using of video. It's often something like: go to a site of injustice and record the activities and people there. Let people tell their stories, illustrating the injustice taking place. Take the recorded footage home, edit it and post the results online. The video(s) then become part of an already existing, or perhaps newly created advocacy campaign hoping to influence both public and policy makers. Sound familiar? Parts of it perhaps?
Through a real-life story I would like to illustrate a different way in which video and the power of storytelling can be used. In 2011 Asrida Elisabeth, a young Indonesian woman originally from Flores, an island in the eastern parts of Indonesia, joined an activist pastor in Papua, a huge island at the most eastern end of Indonesia. For decades the Papuan people live in oppression. As a primitive society living on a land incredibly rich in natural resources they have become an easy target for big mining companies, whom facilitated by the Indonesian government simply take, take and take. Everyone profits from Papua except for Papuans, as a Guardian journalist put it.
In her activist work, trying to educate and empower the Papuan people, Asrida noticed that using video was very effective. People would gather easily to watch and audio-visual media resonated strongly, provoking discussions on issues addressed in the videos. As most of the videos used are produced outside of Papua, often even outside Indonesia, Asrida wondered: Wouldn't it be great if we could make our own videos and show them here?
EngageMedia, a non-profit working with video in South-East Asia, was active in the region through a project called Papuan Voices. Besides producing videos Papuan Voices has a strong empowerment aspect. Asrida got involved and learned a thing or two about filming through workshops and engaging with the local Papuan Voices team. Later on she joined with filming and also managed to produce two of her own videos independently.
When an opportunity presented itself through Project Change to get funding for a video on women living in marginal communities, Asrida grabbed it. By now she knew how to film plus she had a network and access to a region in Papua where she had been actively working for quite some time. The idea for the documentary was simple: follow one mother (Mama) in her struggle to survive in her own land (Tanah). The resulting documentary film, Tanah Mama (2015), was a big success. It opened many Indonesian viewers' eyes about the oppression of the Papuan people. It is still screened in an effort to empower Papuan communities, providing exactly the type of locally produced videos Asrida had wished for back in 2011. On top of it all, Tanah Mama won the prestigious best documentary film award at the December 2015 Yogyakarta Documentary Film Festival.
It's not so much the winning of this award that illustrates my point, although I hope it opens up new opportunities for Asrida. It is the way video was used within Papuan Voices that's most interesting. While it produced someamazing videos, Papuan Voices' greatest impact is achieved during the process and in the way the project was set up. From the onset the goal was to provide Papuans with the means to tell their stories.
Human rights activists or organizations will achieve greater impact if they can go beyond letting people tell their own stories and move towards actually enabling people to tell their own stories. A much more long-term and process orientated approach, acknowledging not all outputs can be predicted from the start. Video projects then are initiated by listening and engaging and aim to let go as much and as soon as capacities and circumstances allow. Thereby opening up a space where video making becomes a collective creation and learning process, filled with creativity. Only then will more Asrida's be given the opportunity to surface and address the world in more meaningful and impactful ways than any human rights organization can. Their job is "simply" to enable the impact to happen and capture it in order to inspire.
Join New Tactics in Human Rights and EngageMedia for a conversation on Video for Change & Impact from February 22-26, 2016.

Flip Action Tripod hands-onPocket-lint
Flip may be in its death throes after being axed by Cisco, but we managed to get our hands on their Action Tripod, something we've been wanting for a while. Flip have always pushed the action angle on their Flip camcorders and the Action Tripod provides a number of fixing options.
This is more than just a straight clamp for the handlebars of your bike. It's a multi-function tripod, which should appeal to more than just Flip users, as it will support lightweight cameras and camcorders with a standard ¼-inch tripod screw.
The Action Tripod is plastic and has two legs that will fold out from the main body to form a conventional three-legged, erm, tripod.
However, the broad body (which forms one leg of the "tri") has a curved rubber mount of the bottom and a couple of long Velcro straps so you can easily strap it to your bike or anything else. It only takes a second to mount and seemed secure enough in our test ride. The straps are detachable too, so if you don't want them they can just be pulled off.
The Flip (or other camera) fixes to the screw at the top, which is on a ball pivot arm secured itself in a plastic hinged arm, so there is a degree of adjustment that you can get. We chose to fold the arm back on itself when bike mounted which should, theoretically, lower the centre of gravity on the camera and reduce the effects of bounce.
However, in running the bike along the only-mildly bumpy Thames Path, we encountered all the image wobble that you associate with pocket camcorders, image stabilisation or no. It didn't help that we were riding a mid-90s fixed frame Cannondale M500 (retro bikes rule).
Off the bike, the Action Tripod is sturdy enough and we tried mounting the Canon PowerShot SX220 HS on it too with no problems. It won't support larger cameras however, we tried a Nikon D5100 DSLR and you can't tighten the screw enough to support that sort of weight.
Yours for £19.99 from assorted online retailers, get 'em while they're still making 'em.

Clean up begins in Fiji after cyclone
18 December 2012 Last updated at 15:23 GMT
The biggest cyclone to hit Fiji in 20 years has caused havoc after battering the Pacific nation with winds topping 200km/h (125 mph).
Thousands of people hid in evacuation centres when the category-four storm hit on Monday, wrecking homes, cutting power and causing flash floods.
The cyclone has since been downgraded and is expected to weaken further as it heads into cooler southern waters.

Microsoft's Free AV Protection Looks Great, But Has Been Pulled From Download
Jason Mick
June 24, 2009 10:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft Security Essentials installs quickly on Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7 machines. The free antimalware suite hit the streets yesterday in beta form.
The new software is extremely efficient offering minimal memory and processor usage, even during a full scans. Scans are also relatively quick.
(Source: The Washington Post)
Users will have to wait a bit longer to practice safe computing
Codenamed "Morro", Microsoft's
free antivirus software
offering has been one of the most anticipated software releases of the year, perhaps only playing second fiddle to Microsoft's own
Windows 7
. The release is expected to shake up the security market, which is split currently between pricey offerings, and a handful of free competitors like AVG which assail the user with ads encouraging them to purchase "premium" versions.
Microsoft's new software, named Microsoft Security Essentials, comes without the sticker-shock or ad burden. It was
available yesterday
for free download in beta form (read on -- it's no longer available, though).
For its part, Microsoft insists that the software isn't designed to make the antimalware paid software market obsolete. It insists that its software is primarily for users who currently have no protection. Indeed, the software lacks many of the bells and whistles that its predecessor, OneCare, had. Among these omitted features are a dedicated firewall, data backup solution and restore or PC performance tuning.
On the other hand Windows XP (as of Service Pack 2) and Windows Vista already come with firewalls, so for most users the need for a second firewall is questionable (most users have trouble configuring one firewall, let alone two). And most users don't ever use the data backup or tuning features offered on antimalware suites -- they just are looking for protection against threats. In that regard, by offering equally strong or even stronger malware protection, Microsoft's new software threatens to make AV consumer software sales obsolete (though vendors may choose to move to Apple, which is a
promising new target
and offers no such free protection).
The biggest problem with the software? It was released yesterday and the beta program has already filled up. Microsoft released a message stating, "Thank you for your interest in joining the Microsoft® Security Essentials Beta. We are not accepting additional participants at this time. Please check back at later a date for possible additional availability."
That said, if you were lucky enough to grab a download, the suite appears to be working more efficiently in some metrics than competitive offerings from Symantec and McAffee. Even when scanning, the software only used a scant 4 MB of memory in initial tests; processor use was also minimal. Quick scans take a mere 10 minutes, while a full scan comes in at a competitive 45 minutes, despite the small footprint. The software strives to perform most of the scanning when the system is idle, and even then maintains a relatively polite footprint.
The software offers real time protection and receives updates of new malware signatures 3 times daily, directly from Microsoft.
Some writers
have complained about the fact that the system sends signatures of suspected malware back to Microsoft. This appears to be nothing more than "big brother" paranoia, though -- outgoing traffic (to Microsoft) on installs is minimal.
One minor hassle is that USB drives are not automatically scanned, though they can be selected by the user.
The new software works on Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions). Installation is quick and easy, though there have been some complaints of installation problems on Windows XP Professional installations. Installs must pass a check by Microsoft's Windows Genuine Advantage anti-piracy tool, so less savvy pirates are left out of the free AV fun.

In dental materials, composite resins are just about the most exciting thing to come down the pike in a long while. Resins may well symbolize the value of long-term, persistent research. From humble beginnings in 1956, the search for an effective adhesive dental filling has culminated in resin materials - versatile, relatively strong, with cosmetic superiority. Quite a return from plastic mixed with glass beads and such.
What's amazing about filling a tooth with resin (vs. gold or silver amalgams) is the nature of the bond to the tooth. The enamel is first treated with a mild acid to create microscopic pores on the surface of the tooth. Once the resin is applied, a mechanical - not chemical - bond is formed. Sort of like dental velcro. Then the resin can be sculpted, tinted, and polished to look like the real thing.
So what do composite resins mean for cosmetic dentist patients? Let's count the ways.
The best bargain in cosmetic dentistry, and proven cavity fighters to boot, are pit and fissure sealants. Sealants are a composite resin painted on back teeth, where tooth decay typically occurs in children. One sealant session, with check-ups now and then, provides cavity prevention - indefinitely.
Dental bonding is an umbrella term for placing composite resin restorations, from tooth-colored inlays to reshaping chipped teeth. For the right candidate, bonding is a comfortable, quick alternative to dental crowns, and a real boon to simple cosmetic dental care procedures. Less of your healthy tooth is removed, so it's essentially a conservative tooth restoration procedure.
In adults, a receding gum can expose the roots of teeth, an uncomfortable situation at best. Along with other adhesives, we apply resins directly to the root surface to help prevent tooth decay, and make the teeth less sensitive to hot and cold.
Teeth straightening just became easier. We can use resins to bond braces directly to teeth, so heavy bands around teeth, in some cases, can be dispensed with. The new invisible braces, along with bonding, make adult orthodontics an appealing alternative to crooked teeth.
Well, not really. Composite resins may never replace old standby filling materials, especially on back teeth. But resins have taken their rightful place in cosmetic dentistry, complimenting metal amalgams, and they can only get better.
Cosmetic dentistry is everywhere these days.
With new materials, especially dental "superglues," we're reshaping teeth, filling gaps between teeth, restoring broken teeth, replacing missing teeth, placing lighter braces. The technique is called dental bonding, and the aesthetic result is wonderful.
But it's not forever.
The American Dental Association puts the life of tooth bonding materials at about five years. This may be a conservative estimate, but there will come a time when a bond needs attention.
In general, if you treat a bonded tooth like your other teeth, you'll keep your dental restoration intact longer. Lax home care habits or the wrong foods can hasten wear and tear.
So go easy. If your tooth restoration is brand new, or years old and still flawless, keep smiling. With care, we've seen dental bonding last a long, long time.
Here are some reminders to help lengthen the life of your dental restoration.

The single-zone Caple WI155 Built-in Wine Cooler in stainless steel is a stylishly compact way to keep red or white wine stored at the right temperature. Perfect wine drinking It's important to keep your wine at the correct temperature to ensure that it lasts, and that it's full of flavour and depth when you decide to open a bottle. The Caple WI155 lets you keep seven bottles of your white wine and rose lovely and chilled so that it's tasty and crisp, whether you're drinking it on its own or pairing it with chicken, pasta or fish. Red wine is kept at moderate levels so that the rich fruity flavours are released for real satisfaction. Controlled cooling Fan-circulated cool air is distributed throughout the Caple WI155 Built-in Wine Cooler to maintain even temperatures. There's effective air ventilation through a raised plinth that keeps things consistently fresh and clean.
