Los Angeles, CA - The Sundance Documentary Fund announced its second round of grants for 2005. Thirteen feature-length documentary films selected from 460 submissions will receive a total of $665,000. The Fund, made possible by a grant from the Open Society Institute with a match from the Ford Foundation, is dedicated to supporting documentary films from around the world that focus on human rights, freedom of expression, social justice and action, civil liberties, and push the creative boundaries of form and content.
The supported projects address a range of important topics: an exploration of Shia, Sunni and Kurd experiences following the fall of Saddam Hussein in Iraq; preservation of Tibetan musical traditions under Chinese occupation; an examination of the 1979 Greensboro massacre in a present-day truth commission; a glimpse into the lives of three generations of women shouldering poverty, oppression and sexual violence in post apartheid South Africa; a chronicle of truth-and-reconciliation hearings in East Timor; a personal search for friends who ere disappeared in Argentina during the 1976-1983 dictatorship and its legacy; and a harrowing look at the exoneration of a wrongful rape-and-murder conviction of a 19-year-old.
These filmmakers demonstrate extraordinary courage and vision, many of them risking their lives to bring these stories to audiences hungry for such films as the burgeoning success of documentaries shows. said Ken Brecher, Executive Director of the Sundance Institute. On the eve of the 10th year anniversary of the Documentary Fund, the Institute is committed and proud to support the diverse exchange of ideas crucial to developing an open society, and the fostering of an ongoing debate about these issues.
Sundance Institute has supported and launched many documentaries to critical acclaim and distribution, and has brought an overall greater public awareness to
the field. Recent note-worthy projects supported by the Sundance Documentary Fund include: Eugene Jareckis Why We Fight, winner of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival Documentary Grand Prize; Ross Kauffman and Zana Briskis 2004 Academy Award® and 2004 Sundance Audience Award winning Born Into Brothels; Catherine Tambini and Carlos Sandovals Farmingville,winner of a Special Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival; Gail Dolgin and Vicente Francos 2002 Sundance Festival Documentary Grand Jury prize winner and Academy Award® nominee, Daughter From Danang;Edet Belzbergs 2001 Academy Award® nominee Children Underground; and Long Nights Journey Into Day,Academy Award® nominee and 2000 winner of the Sundance Documentary Grand Jury Prize.
The Sundance Documentary Fund makes grants ranging from $15,000 to $75,000 for development, works-in-progress, and on-going support. These grants are made twice a year, and details on the Funds award guidelines can be found on the Sundance Institute website, www.sundance.org

Sundance Documentary Fund
Created in 2001 as part of the Sundance Documentary Film Program, the Sundance Documentary Fund (SDF) is made possible by grants from the New Yorkbased Open
Society Institute (OSI) and the Ford Foundation. Originally established in 1996 as the Soros Documentary Fund, the Sundance Documentary Fund is dedicated to supporting documentary projects from around the world focused on human rights, freedom of expression, social justice and action, civil liberties, and that push the creative boundaries of form and content. In supporting these artists and their works, the Fund aims to give voice to the diverse exchange of ideas crucial to developing and maintaining an open society, and engaging citizens around the world opportunities for meaningful, ongoing discourse about these issues and the human stories within them.
The Sundance Documentary Fund supports projects in three categories Development, Work In Progress, and Supplemental. Development grants provide seed funds to filmmakers whose projects are in the early research stage or in pre-production. Documentaries in production or postproduction are eligible for the Work in Progress grants. Finally, the Fund awards Supplemental grants to those projects that have previously received Development grants and that require on-going support. Funds ranging from $15,000 to $75,000 are disbursed twice a year. Details on the Funds award guidelines can be found on the Sundance Institute website,
www.sundance.org .
Sundance Documentary Film Program
The Sundance Documentary Film Program provides year-round support to, and nurtures the growth of, nonfiction filmmakers. The Program encourages the exploration of innovative nonfiction storytelling, and promotes the exhibition of documentary films to a broader audience. It supports independent artists around the world through the Sundance Documentary Fund, the Filmmaker Lodge at the Sundance Film Festival, the Documentary Film Music Laboratory and Edit & Story Laboratory, as well as through a number of ongoing collaborative international documentary initiatives.

|Internal Migration Dynamics in Russia, 1985-2001: Detrminants, Motivations, and Consequences
Internal Migration Dynamics in Russia, 1985-2001: Detrminants, Motivations, and Consequences
November 1, 2005
This report presents the main findings from a study of internal migration in contemporary Russia based on individual level survey data. The Survey on Stratification and Migration Dynamics in Russia (SMDR) provides migration histories spanning 1985-2001 for a representative sample of 7167 Russian adults. The survey results yield novel insights that cannot be derived from analyses of aggregate migration data. Although the individual and regional factors identified by economic theories of migration generally shape economic migration within Russia, only about 25% of internal migrations are motivated by economic incentives, and non-economic migration responds to different. Neither the rates of overall migration and of economic migration nor the effects of individual characteristics on migration behavior were demonstrably affected by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the attendant economic shocks and political changes. Economic migrants appear to have enhanced access to employment relative to non-migrants with similar characteristics.

Ladies Prayer
Each Monday morning at 8:30 AM, ladies gather together to seek His face, worship Him and petition Him with their prayers. This is one of the most important things we can do as a local body of believers in Jesus. The Bible says in Matthew 18:19-20 NIV "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. (20) For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." What a precious promise from God. The church that fails to pray, fails. We can only move forward in the Grace of God upon our knees someone once said. Join us as we endeavor to move forward in prayer.

Quick Reference
Bleak French essayist and thinker. Bataille's unsystematic work can be characterized as a kind of followon from Nietzsche, concentrating upon the absence of God, the disappearance of the stable subject, and the non-existence of values and identities in modern life. The principal notion is that of 'expenditure'; a squandering of force that has no other end but the process itself. Works included The Inner Experience (1943) and Theory of Religion (1948).

The winning BIMBO this month comes from Bristol Palin and is a great example of the "wrong thing to say." The full BIMBO features the never-dull Charlie Sheen, Ireland's Prime Minister, and a bond strategist. There's also a BIMBO variation from President Obama (courtesy of "60 Minutes") and another example of the "wrong thing to say" from Professor Larry Tribe, the CEO of Alberta's Public Health Authority. Check out how a Northwestern Professor uses technology to engage his students and we tip our hat to Carnival Cruises for demonstrating good communication during a very public crisis.
"Going out there and winning this would mean a lot. It would be like a big middle finger to all the people out there that hate my mom and hate me," said Bristol Palin before she finished third on "Dancing with the Stars." (Oh dear, the Palin family is still off-message. This politicizes what should have been a fun experience for the young Miss Palin. She should have said, "Winning would mean a lot, but whatever happens, I've learned a lot. I had a great partner; met some great people and I've got better moves!")

"There is a lot of evidence in support of me not being a dumb bimbo and lying about my university degrees," said Iliana Fischer, a young woman who may or may not be a stripper complaining about an online posting referring to her as (what else?) a dumb bimbo. (Whether or not to respond to criticism or misinformation is always a big issue in communication. In this case, Ms. Fischer should have just let it go. By posting a YouTube video, she confirms everything we never even thought of! And if she does have two degrees, the school might think about rescission.)

"You have one bad night and everybody panics. I'm not panicking," said actor Charlie Sheen to a paparazzo outside CBS Studios. (This is another example where it is inappropriate to respond to criticism—Mr. Sheen should have let this one go. Capri Anderson, the woman who accused Sheen of drunkenness and violent behavior in a hotel room told her story on the morning shows. As Ron Weasley asks in one of the Harry Potter movies, "Can we panic now?" The answer for Mr. Sheen, who once had a bright future, is 'yes.' Mr. Sheen's lawyer, the famed Yale Galanter, came through with a bimbo of his own, "Ms. Capri never made any allegation of wrongful conduct on the part of Mr. Sheen after the night of the incident." Then he slings one back at her, "If you wanted to see more of her enter the web site for money.")

"See your way clear to say, 'This member was not corrupt,'" was the emotional plea made by Rep. Charles Rangel, D-NY, to the House Ethics Committee as they deliberated whether to censure him on almost a dozen charges of failing to pay taxes, report income and other violations. (Mr. Rangel must have his own, personal definition of 'not corrupt.' Any of these violations would land most of us in jail, plus Mr. Rangel is the former chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the committee that writes the nation's tax laws.)
ABC News, "Ethics Committee Recommends Censure for Rangel," Nov. 19, 2010
Ireland has no reason to feel "ashamed or humiliated," said Prime Minister Brian Cowen as the country edged toward accepting a hefty aid package from the European Union, adding "There is no loss of sovereignty for Ireland." (Maybe the second comment is correct, but given how the country got into trouble – allowing, even encouraging its banks to lend to wild projects with unrealistic assumptions, throwing all the rules about lending out the window – they should at least be embarrassed. Notice that the headline got it right.)
Bloomberg, "Cowen Scorned as Ireland Mourns Loss of Independence," Nov. 19, 2010
In a "60 Minutes" interview, President Obama felt the Democrats' loss in the November election was because voters incorrectly perceived him as dramatically expanding government, and voters did not want "a classic, traditional, big-government liberal." (All we can charitably say is that perhaps the President missed the stimulus, GM bailout and the lengthy health care reform bill. Even the interviewer, CBS reporter Steve Kroft, noticed this and blurted out, "It was a huge expansion of government.")

"It is premature to say that the Fed has failed or that this has backfired," said David Ader, chief government bond strategist at CRT Capital. (This is a classic BIMBO. It may be premature to say, but it is what many people are saying.)

"Not as smart as she seems to think she is," was how departing Justice Department counselor and Harvard constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe described Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. His comment was found in a leaked memo to President Obama that supported Elena Kagan for a nomination to the Supreme Court. (Tribe says he is leaving the Justice Department because of medical reasons and not because of his embarrassment over the memo.)

"I'm eating my cookie," said Dr. Stephen Duckett, CEO of Alberta Health Services, when reporters tried to get information about the province's emergency room crisis. (Dr. Duckett has since been fired, despite a desperate blog post that apologized for his 'cookie' outburst. The snide comment and his timely demise prompted a number of columns, blog posts, and YouTube videos that referenced Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.)
Edmonton Journal, "Dr. Stephen Duckett: lending new meaning to the term Cookie Monster," Nov. 20, 2010
The article "More Professors Give Out Hand-Held Devices to Monitor Students and Engage Them," featured how Professor Bill White at Northwestern takes attendance and quizzes the students in his "Organizational Behavior" class. Jasmine Morris, a student, said that the "clicker" she uses in some of her classes "reinforces what you're supposed to be doing as a student." (Spaeth is very excited and supportive of this. Our own teaching method also involves querying and engaging participants in our classes rather than lecturing. The more interaction, the greater the learning impact for the majority of people.)
The New York Times, "More Professors Give Out Hand-Held Devices to Monitor Students and Engage Them," Nov. 15, 2010
Although Carnival Cruise's Splendor was without power for four days following a fire in the engine room, the company gets an A+ for how it handled the crisis. They fully refunded the cost for each passenger, gave them a free cruise, paid for transportation home, and the company's CEO met the boat at the dock. The results were apparent in press reports covering the passengers' arrival. While passengers voiced a desire for hot showers and hot food, virtually all the quotes supported the company and said they were satisfied. Reporters apparently tried to find people who planned to sue the company, but either they found the wrong people or Carnival's prompt and transparent response found favor with passengers. "They gave us our money back. They gave us free beer. The crew was in good spirits and helped us with whatever we needed…They're giving us a free cruise at a later date. I'm grateful for that. I'm not the kind of person who's going to sue, sue, sue. Not me or my wife," said Brian van Leeuwen who was on his honeymoon. Gerry Cahill, President and CEO of Carnival, had great quotes, first admitting, "We know we ruined their vacations." This then gave him the opportunity to achieve message alignment, "They signed up for a great cruise vacation and that's not what they got." Notice that "great cruise vacation" is exactly Carnival's message.

Catholic schools in
New York State are ailing, and the most powerful bishop in the United States is
lobbying for taxpayers to bail them out to the tune of $300 million per year. If
you care about this issue, now is the time to speak out.
In the midst of
debate on the state budget leading up to the April 1 deadline, some New York lawmakers
are pushing to include the "Education Investment Tax Credit
Act", a measure which
would provide up to $1 million in tax credits to people and
corporations that give money to privately
run charter schools
and religious schools.
The lead lobbyist for this measure is none other than Cardinal
Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, who is arguing that the state
government has a duty to support Catholic schools.
This is nothing
more than a backdoor attempt to use tax dollars, intended for public schools, to
support private and sectarian religious schools. Not only does this constitute a violation of church-state
separation — religious schools teach pseudoscience, indoctrinate students with
religious dogma, can and do reject many applicants, and hire and fire based on
religion — but it would also cause untold harm to the education of children in New York's
public schools for years to come. Public schools are already strapped for
resources; sending public money to private and religious schools will only make
the situation worse.
Private and religious schools have every right to operate
independently, but they do not have the right to taxpayer support. Instead of
supporting private and religious schools, taxpayer money should be used to operate
and improve the public school system, which provides a religiously neutral,
constitutionally sound, and evidence-based education.
The Center for Inquiry urges you to immediately contact your
state lawmakers and tell them oppose this measure.
Speak out now!
Share this message on social media:
Reject Tax Credits for Private and Religious Schools!
Dear [Decision Maker],
As a friend of the Center for Inquiry, I urge you to oppose the "Education Investment Tax Credit Act," a measure that would provide up to $1 million in tax credits to people and corporations which give money to privately run charter schools and religious schools.

The very first U.S. Multihull Championship was won by Ken Marshack. The Hobie Alter trophy is his and he is delighted to have won a very good race on Carlyle Lake. There is no doubt that the catamaran sailing offers lots of thrills and spills and there was plenty of excitement that took place at the Carlyle Lake. The 2016 US Multihull Championship was hosted by the Carlyle Sailing Association and this was a fun filled week of racing for all the participants, organizers and the crowd.
It was the first time that the championship was conducted in the Hobie 18 since 1988. The Hobie 18 North American Champion, Ken Marshack, was given a window of opportunity to race here and he grabbed it with both hands by winning the Hobie Alter trophy. He was in top form during the race and had an upper hand on all the other racers right from the beginning till the end. The six times Hobie 18 champion from North America was assisted by Valerie Pioszak. (more…)

Adventure: The Inside Job - Extras
Here is a collection of behind-the-scenes info, in-joke explanations, author's notes and miscellaneous snippets about the game. If you haven't completed Adventure: The Inside Job, don't read any further!
I first came up with the concept for Adventure: The Inside Job in the fall of 2007. I spent a lot of time thinking about it and writing down an outline for the story before I started any real work on it. Since I didn't want to end up with a bland Sierra/Lucasarts casserole, I started researching (and occasionally playing) just about every 2D third-person adventure game I could find.
I intended to play some of the most obscure games in existence, since those were to be the ones that were the safest for CGMS agents could pass through (since the odds of them bumping into the protagonist are pretty low). Characters from those games were also good candidates for CGMS agents, since they're rarely needed in their own games.
Once I had ripped most of the backgrounds and animations that I needed, I started reading up on AGS, and after several months, I finally started assembling the game. As I learned more about AGS, I began putting things together differently -- for example, I found that for complex animations, moving a character to a certain location, making the character invisible, then running an animation with an object worked much better than animating the character.
The room with the oxygen mask (its official title is "the puzzle room") was the most difficult room to complete because of all of its animations. The picture below shows all the various objects that were used.
Thalia's story about being a character from a cancelled game is partially true. I first created her as the protagonist of a Flash adventure game, which had her as a member of the Earth Anti-Encroachment League afflicted with a bizarre disease picked up from a remote planet, which causes her to temporarily (and randomly) swap identities with the nearest living organism with a central nervous system. Fortunately for her, she has never swapped minds with another human...yet.
She has been able to keep this condition under control with the help of her physician, and it is even able to aid her in some of her more perilous assignments, but now it seems as if someone from Earth has learned about her unusual "talent", and is determined to capture her. Her nephew Dylan is one of her only friends, and the role he plays in this game is similar to Suzy-Ann's in TIJ, and Thalia eventually finds out that he is part alien after all: his mother is from a race of people with the ability to see the future.
Unfortunately, after I was unable to find a game creation engine compatible with my woefully out-of-date version of Flash, I dropped this game idea. Fortunately, when I started coming up with the idea for TIJ, I couldn't think of a better character to put in the starring role than Thalia.
One reason I created a protagonist like Thalia was to break a couple of trends I've noticed in adventure games' main characters over the years: Protagonists old enough to be considered middle-aged are somewhat uncommon, and most female protagonists are not only young, but very attractive and perfectly shaped, often with large bosoms. I felt it would be a refreshing change to have a middle-aged woman in a starring role. Incidentally, some of Thalia's features are modelled off the only other middle-aged female adventure game protagonist I know of: Queen Valanice of King's Quest VII (it's no coincidence that Thalia also has to capture that jackalope, and there are two different ways to do it).
It's hard to pinpoint one particular thing that inspired me to make this game. I'd say it was a combination of several things:1) Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series, which includes a vast agency policing books from within. Characters from every book ever written mingle together when their books aren't being read, even characters from unpublished works, and though they look much like real human beings, they are different in many ways. I loved these idea so much that at one point I must have subconsciously thought, "Hmm, what if there were something similar with adventure games?"Adventure: The Inside Job was the first game I made in AGS, and during the months I spent working on it, I discovered that trying to solve a problem with in AGS was comparable to trying to punch a hole through a wall with one's head: if you keep doing it long enough, you will eventually succeed, but will be too weary from your efforts to revel in your victory.
2) The interconnectedness of Sierra's adventure game elements. In several of Sierra's adventure games you occasionally bump into a character from another game or at least encounter a reference to a completely different series. You can see Roger Wilco at the bar in Leisure Suit Larry 3, crash into Castle Daventry's moat (from King's Quest) if you do the wrong thing in Space Quest 1, and encounter Cedric the owl from King's Quest V in Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist. It's almost as if the games are all connected, and the characters can pass from one game to another whenever they please.
3) Sierra's Hoyle 3. Though this program is just a collection of board games, it seems to take the concept from the previous paragraph one step further. In Hoyle 3, you can play against characters from a variety of Sierra adventure games, and interestingly, though the program is in VGA, the characters who are from games of a lower resolution (like Arnoid from Space Quest III and Lillian from The Colonel's Bequest, which are both in EGA) still keep their low-res look. This definitely might have had some influence on having the characters in TIJ change their resolution when entering game with a lower resolution than theirs.
4) ZBS's Ruby series. The smart-talking main character and the humorous science fiction elements used in the series have been an inspiration to me for years. Thalia is loosely modeled on Ruby, in both attire (Ruby typically wears a jumpsuit of some kind) and attitude.
For those of you who are completely confused about the acronyms that keep getting mentioned in the game, I'll try to explain them:
Low-res EGA:
This is the lowest level of graphics used in the game. The pixels are wider than they are tall, and only 16 colors are used at a resolution of 160×200. Sierra's early AGI games (like King's Quest and Space Quest II) are examples of this.
Hi-res EGA:
Similar to low-res EGA, except the pixels are perfectly symmetrical and at a resolution of 320x200. King's Quest IV and Leisure Suit Larry 2 and 3 use hi-res EGA (and are also known as SCI games).
Low-res VGA:
Uses 256-color graphics, but still uses a 320x200 screen resolution. Many classic games are in low-res VGA, such as Day of the Tentacle, Legend of Kyrandia, Teen Agent, and Space Quest IV.
Hi-res VGA:
Uses 256-color graphics, usually at a resolution of 640x480. Also known as SVGA. King's Quest VII, Leisure Suit Larry 7 and The Curse of Monkey Island are in hi-res VGA.
In case it's not obvious enough, the only original characters in this game are Thalia, Tlotzin, Suzy-Ann, Sidonius, Ichabod, Felicia, Mr. E, the "zen adventure" guy, Clem and the owner of the large reptilian tail.
The character that leaves the futuristic urban scene just before Thalia and Ichabod arrive is Cassima, who appeared in King's Quest V and VI and was going to star in my fan-made version of King's Quest IX. I started that project in 1999 and worked on it for seven years.
It never got off the ground as a game, but was released as an illustrated story instead. The code Cassima enters is almost identical to four notes in the chorus of KQ9's "theme song" (which I partially composed and Liam Barnesdale completed). A very rough likeness of her co-star, Prince Edgar, appears on the top of Thalia's stack of flashcards.
A few of the doors Thalia walks through are sly nods to the game they are featured in, since it's impossible to open them in their respective games. The first door she opens (in the Leisure Suit Larry II scene) is blocked by a man chopping wood, the two doors she passes through in the King's Quest IV scene (the third scene in the intro) are locked, the door to Dr. Slache's office is locked in Rex Nebular, and the "door" in the scene where Tlotzin talks about the toy dinosaurs disappearing is never used, since that room is only featured in a brief cutscene.
The screen where Thalia opens the door to the outhouse is from the recent game Runaway. Since I didn't own the game, I had to search around on the Internet until I found a suitable screen. Much later, I found out that the image had been reduced in size, which wasn't a bad thing, since it turned out to be just the right size as the rest of the backgrounds I was using in the game (640X480).
You might have noticed this right away, but the sounds of the game-to-game "doors" opening and closing are modified recordings of a heartbeat and someone exhaling, respectively.
Some of the rooms Thalia visits really do exist, but can only be viewed by opening a game's resource files in a program like SCUMM Revisited (for LucasArts games) or SCI Resource Viewer (for Sierra games). There are many rooms like this in King's Quest VII, such as the scene where Thalia first meets Ichabod (Pic 1100) and the futuristic urban scene (Pic 101).
The hidden room in which Tlotzin tells Thalia about her second assignment can be found in the resource files of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Though part of the game takes place in the office adjacent to it, there's no way it can be accessed or seen in the actual game.
The room Thalia visits after learning about the toy dinosaurs disappearing is from the Space Quest IV resource files. If there is a way to access it in the game, nobody's discovered how yet.
The scene with the colorful mansion that Thalia walks through after learning that Joey the robot has vanished is from the Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist resource files. It's Pic 170 (just like the writing near the top of the screen seems to imply).
The animations of the jackalope running and leaping onto the carrot are in the King's Quest VII resource files, but never appear in the game. They're from a series of animations in which he runs up to Rosella, then jumps up and kisses her. You can read about and look at some of the unused material from KQ7 here.
Suzy-Ann's last name was originally going to be Edison, but I realized that Thalia's narration when she first enters Day of the Tentacle ("Time: Day before the Day of the Tentacle. Place: Edison Mansion", etc.) might confuse some players who weren't familiar with that game. I changed her surname to Alva, since Alva was Thomas Edison's middle name.
The insignia on Thalia's right shoulder is an abstract depiction of two planets and their orbital paths. If you click the Hand icon on the globe in Day of the Tentacle, you'll get a subtle reference towards my first game, Area 50.5.
The various images of Ichabod, the location of the second team meeting and the final scene in the game are all modifications of photographs that my mom took during a trip to the Galapagos Islands. The photograph used for Spindrift was taken at Montańa de Oro State Park, California.
The only piece of completely original music completely written by me is the two eerie notes that play when Thalia walks onto the third Conquests of the Longbow screen. I fail at music.
The light blue book propped up against the wall on the left side of Thalia's room is The Eyre Affair, Jasper Fforde's first book.
The Charles Harper print (his Wikipedia entry labels him "Charley Harper") in Thalia's room is a copy of a print that I have on my wall.
The black-and-white monitors in the "secret lab" are displaying scenes from various adventure games, but a few of them are backgrounds from my KQ9 (put there partly because I didn't feel like hunting down scenic screenshots at the moment).
Since Thalia is from the future, I wanted her to use at least one interjection that was slightly different than a commonly used one from the present. I didn't come up with a specific reason why she uses "gods" instead of "God" as an oath, though. (It's not the same reason why Tlotzin also says "gods", since his religion is polytheistic.) The words used to "activate" the voodoo doll is a distortion of a phrase that adventurers should often remember, especially if they're playing a game where you can easily die, lose vital inventory items or encounter situations where it is impossible to complete the game. Highlight the space below if you still don't know what this phrase is.
"Save early, save often."
The two items used to defeat Sidonius have a bit of symbolism attached to them. One was inspired by Sierra, the other by LucasArts. Both companies were the two giants of adventure games in their heyday, yet now both have fallen. They were always rivals, and even now there is still a split between Sierra fans and LucasArts fans -- yet here, the items inspired by one game from each company combine their forces to save the genre.
The Black Cauldron is one of Sierra On-Line's earlier games, and the first computer game based on a Disney film.
Sidonius' scream is the infamous "death scream" from King's Quest V and VI. You sometimes hear it when Graham or Alexander make fatal mistakes.
The word "genrecide" spontaneously popped into my head as I was writing the various descriptions of the objects in the secret lab, and not only was it the best made-up word I've come up with in a long time, but it seemed like the perfect term to mean "the destruction of a genre".
I was looking for some really pumped up, kickass music for when Thalia destroys the jammer. Turns out, there's not much music like that in adventure games, and I eventually ended up using an excerpt from the remix of "Girl in the Tower", from King's Quest VI.
The man with the broad hat leading Sidonius through the second-to-last scene is one of the many extras from Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist. I don't know if he ever appears in the actual game.
The music in the outro (the scene with Thalia, Ichabod and Felicia) took almost five months to be completed. This was because of the numerous inconveniences that kept popping into the life of the guy I asked to write the music. The wait was partially my fault, but I feel that the end result was worth it.
A lot of old adventure games are hard to acquire using legal means, but Flight of the Amazon Queen, Teen Agent, Lure of the Temptress and Beneath a Steel Sky are now freeware and can be downloaded.
I couldn't make sense out of any of the available AGS credits modules, so I ended up creating a large transparent GIF of the game's credits, making a character that used that image and making it "walk" up the screen.
I wanted some fitting music for the credits, so I went on a lengthy search for songs that had the word "game" in the title. I was lucky to find one as good as the song by Utopia that I ended up using.
The 2D Adventure Game crest (which first appears on the back wall of the room Thalia visits after hearing about the toy dinosaurs) is a combination of the icons used in most of Sierra's VGA games and the SCUMM "crosshairs" used in LucasArts' older games, with a generic mouse cursor in the middle. And as Thalia says when you look at it in the secret room, the text below the crest roughly translates to "Adventure games forever".
In case it isn't entirely obvious, the gray images displayed in the script are some of the most common inventory items found in adventure games. The cup doubles as a reference to AGS.
Have you tried......shuffling through Thalia's flashcards (by using them on her)?
...using the Hand icon on various characters?
...using an inventory item on itself?
...using the letter on the "voodoo doll"?
...clicking the Hand icon on the pole in Sidonius' treehouse both before and after releasing Joey?
...using the Talk icon on the only visible portion of Thalia's anatomy in the CommKey closeup?
Explanations of a few of the less obvious in-jokes:"...I was unable to prevent the the 'heap space' error from occurring..."
--Sidonius, talking with Thalia when they first meet.
Near the end of King's Quest V, an error message reading "Out of heap space" occasionally appears, locking up the game.
"...Unless you want to rewind the cassette tape in Shivers..."
--Tlotzin, talking to Thalia in Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Shivers takes place in a museum abandoned for fifteen years. In the museum's office, you find a cassette player which plays a recording of the museum's creator speaking for several minutes, then being attacked by a malevolent force. He presumably dies soon afterwards, making it odd that the cassette was rewound to the beginning when the player discovers it.
"Now, if Tlotzin had granted me permission to go HERE on my last assignment, I could've made a tar baby to catch that jackalope with."
--Thalia, Spindrift
This is a nod to Joel Chandler Harris' story of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby (his stories were what the Disney film "Song of the South" was based on).
"In his last assignment, he nearly stepped on the protagonist of Bad Mojo."
--Tlotzin, talking to Thalia in Leisure Suit Larry III
In Bad Mojo, you play as a human transformed into a cockroach.
"This place could give the guys in Channelwood a run for their money."
--Thalia, looking out the windows/door in Sidonius' treehouse
Channelwood is one of the worlds in the game Myst, and its main landmark is a village of perilously high treehouses.
The random capitalizations in Joey's speech:
This is the way that all the dialogue in Beneath a Steel Sky is written. Words are often written in caps, even if there's no emphasis on them in the character's voice (BASS has both speech and subtitles).
Joey's final words ("Be vigilant"):
"Be vigilant" is the main catchphrase from Beneath a Steel Sky. Many characters say it, and it's displayed whenever the player exits the game.
"I'll answer that once you tell me what in Zork's name you're doing!"
--Thalia, confronting Sidonius)
The Zork series is one of the first adventure game series, as well as one of the most legendary.
"And Sanitarium was inspired by the heartwarming book 'Chicken Soup for the Psycho's Soul.'"
--Thalia, in the secret lab
Sanitarium is an adventure game that takes place in many bizarre locations seen through the eyes of a madman.

I had no idea how much working at a summer camp – in an unheard of small town – would hugely influence my life and the course of my career. How? It all began in 2009 when Camp Joy hired me to be a summer Teen Unit counselor. My first campers were from a foster care setting; I had no previous knowledge about the foster care system. I learned a lot. Being around these campers 24/7 – and observing their outlooks on life – truly moved me. Some of these 14-year-olds had seen more hardship during their short time on Earth than most of us will experience in our lifetimes. I began to ponder, "With so many cards stacked against them, how do we expect them to succeed in the real world?" And I wondered what I could do about it.
I left Camp Joy and went back to Bowling Green to complete my undergrad degree. Upon graduation in 2011, I began my professional career serving in Undergraduate Admissions at Ohio University. Here I witnessed first hand how students with limited resources have fewer opportunities to succeed. This, of course, included students who grew up in the foster care system. Because of my Joy experience I recognized that need.
Perhaps I could do something for students like the ones who had made such a difference in my life at Camp Joy. An opportunity presented itself. While working full time in Admissions, I pursued and received my Master of Higher Education degree in 2014. My final seminar paper offered ideas of what college and universities could do to better serve students with a foster care background. I am humbly proud to say one of those suggestions has been implemented! OHIO's undergraduate admissions application now recognizes foster youth's struggles and offers resources to aid those students.
Moving forward, in 2014, I became the Assistant Director of Annual Giving at OU and was challenged to implement a student philanthropy program. A core group of students, motivated by the philosophy of "Bobcats helping Bobcats," jumped on board. They decided to raise money for a scholarship for a current student experiencing significant financial need. When I told them about my work with foster youth, they asked if they could start a scholarship specifically for students from a foster care background. Could they ever! Currently, this scholarship is OHIO's only scholarship that specifically targets this population. Over $7,660 has been raised to date!
I have attempted to make clear how working with foster youth at Camp Joy impacted my life. I notice how the sharing of that message has touched the lives of others. We are working together to help raise awareness of need (as aforementioned: application changes, scholarships etc.) Who knows how the lives of these folks helping have been affected – and what they will pass on?
It's akin to the tale of the pebble being thrown into the water and creating ripples – no one can predict how far the ripples will radiate and where the impact will spread from here. How many others will hear and be moved to act? I can't wait to see what happens as we continue helping foster care students – and others – to grow and succeed in the years to come – one person, one pebble, one ripple at a time. Thank you, Camp Joy, for providing me with a pebble…

Electricians are those people that have learned to deal with the work of wiring. If you just need repair, or you're thinking of upgrading and buying new satellite installations, you may need the help of a professional electrician. The electrician business is very broad, and there is no time of the year that this work is not required.So an electrician is a paramount person in the society. Some of the services that electrician offers include.
Services offered
Look for experts
Your thinking about renovating your house and you are worried about the installation of the wires this is not something you can do. It's recommended to look for a qualified electrician that will advise you on how to increase safety measures. The electrician will also do the wiring after the renovation is over and get everyone working as they were before.
Great lighting designs
Now when it comes to that time of the holiday and you want your house decorated with excellent lighting. Just any person cannot do the decorations. Someone skilled is required for this job. An electrician will decorate your home or an event in an awesome way, ensuring that everything is safe, and nothing will go wrong.
Power stations
Electricians also work in power stations. Managing the power of an entire town it's not something easy they ensure that there is power at any given time, and the wiring won't disturb the peace of the citizens at any time. To have the work done in a better way and the best they can offer it's the responsibility of an electrician. Even when there is a concert all the work of wiring and lighting is the work of the electricians, one electrician is also left to ensure everything is running smoothly and come to the rescue if anything goes wrong.
The electricians also repair electrical appliances. Electrician fixes the machines without any difficulties so if you are having a problem with your appliances at home just call an electrician. They can quickly diagnose the problem and eliminate it immediately. There is no need to buy something new because maybe the problems can be fixed. An electrician has all the tools required and readily available to help. Also keep in mind they cover all the phase of repairing, from buying the materials and also the parts necessary.
It's strictly forbidden to try and fix the electrical installation on your own. It's just so dangerous, and it may lead to death. Not to mention the money lost and time, just avoid this problem and contact an electrician.

The unique stories discovered in our family trees are what continue to inspire us to dig deeper. We had the pleasureo of interviewing Lonnie Bunkley, veteran family historian and author of Journey to Freedom: A Genealogical Study of an African American Family at a recent family history conference.
Lonnie shares the stories of his close family and their movement across the South, including the especially powerful story of why his great-grandfather had to move in the middle of the night to avoid being killed after a confrontation with a white neighbor.
About Journey to Freedom,
In Journey to Freedom—which traces eight generations of the Bunkley family, from Hertford County, North Carolina, through the Deep South and Texas, and to Southern, California—you'll see an African American family move through slavery, emancipation, poverty, and discrimination as they strive to triumph over the adversities of racist legal, social, and economic forces. This well-researched genealogical study also chronicles the more general African American experiences of each historical period, linking the family's generations with the contemporary political events of their times.
Journey to Freedom lets readers draw strength and inspiration as they observe the family's struggles and victories: from Ike's run into the night "between suns" to escape the terror of 1892 to family celebrations and other successful ventures. The Bunkley family's dreams and hopes, which are shared in common with generations of other African Americans, are filled with optimism and success.
You can purchase Lonnie's book Journey to Freedom: A Genealogical Study of an African American Family and the Political and Social Issues That Impacted Their Lives, 1778-2013 on Amazon.com.

Disaster can strike anytime, anywhere. They can be natural disasters or created by man. This can also bring out the best of human nature and show the worst side of mankind. These 15 facts about disasters are shocking and demonstrate that anyone can be affected.
1. Every year over 25.8 million people are affected by a natural disaster across the world.
2. Avalanches travel at speeds of over 200 miles per hour. In 1962 in Peru, several tons of ice and snow slid down Huascaran Peak in the Andes Mountains and killed over 4000 people.
3. The state that has the largest risk for tsunamis is Hawaii with over one a year.
4. On December 26, 2004 a tsunami triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake caused the most devastating tsunami in history killing over 226,000 people in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India, Thailand and the Maldives. In addition, millions of others were displaced.
5. The "Dust Bowl" of 1934 created a period of famine and drought in the United States in the 1934 Great Plains as land that had once been fertile was covered with huge clouds of dust lifted by heavy winds.
6. 1959 to 1961 was a period of famine for China. This was brought about by crop failure and lead to starvation, disease and cannibalism. However these disaster facts were not revealed to the world until 1981 by the Chinese government.
7. In 1099 a flood caused by a combination of storm waves and high tides washed across the coastal areas of the Netherlands and England killing over 100,000 people.
8. Floods are the number one deadly disaster in the United States accounting for over 46 percent of disaster related deaths according to disaster facts.
9. In 1815 in Tambora, Indonesia the Mount Tambora volcano exploded resulting in the deaths of 92,000 people, mostly due to starvation.
10. Cyclones, hurricanes and typhoons are the same thing. Different names are used in different parts of the world. In the Atlantic Ocean they are known as hurricanes, in the tropics they are known as tropical cyclones, in the Indian Ocean they are known as cyclones and in the Pacific Ocean they are known as typhoons.
11. The deadliest Western Hemisphere hurricane on record was in Barbados, West Indies in 1780. It killed nearly 22,000 people and completely devastated Barbados, Martinique and St. Eustatius.
12. Earthquakes are not generally killers according to disaster facts. The events afterwards are the cause of death including buildings collapsing, tsunamis and volcanoes.
13. Up to 10,000 people die a year as a result of an earthquake.
14. Nearly 90 percent of all volcanoes are in the "Ring of Fire," a group of volcanoes that circle the Pacific Ocean.
15. Hurricanes have winds of at least 74 miles per hour.
A disaster can devastate a community and the after affects can lead to drought, famine and disease. The understanding the facts about disasters can help to make sense of what is occurring.

Sweet Potato Helps Regulate Blood Sugar – Nutritionist
Do you eat sweet potatoes? An Abuja based Nutritionist; Mrs. Simisola Adebola claimed that the consumption of sweet potato helps improve blood sugar regulation, most especially in patients with Type 2 diabetes.
Mrs. Adebola said the natural sugar in sweet potato is steadily released into the blood stream thus helping to ensure a balanced and regular source of energy without spiking up the sugar level.
She further added that that the soluble fibre in sweet potatoes such as pectin may increase satiety, decrease food intakes and also reduce blood sugar spikes by slowing down the digestion of sugars and starches.
"Sweet potatoes are packed with several minerals and vitamins such as Vitamin B6 Vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, iron, fibre, and Vitamin D among others," says Adebola.
The expert noted that sweet potato is enriched with Vitamin B6 which aids reduction of the chemical homocysteine in the body. The chemical is known for causing cancers.
She also mentioned that consumption of sweet potatoes helps ward of cancer cells and protects against the effects of ageing due to its rich contents in beta carotene.
"Eating sweet potatoes decreases fasting blood glucose and LDL – cholesterol levels and increases insulin sensitivity.
"Consuming sweet potatoes helps in controlling the activities of the kidneys, production of red and white blood cell, metabolizes protein, and helps resist stress.
"It also helps in curtailing the risks of blood clotting. Sweet Potato is considered a good food because it does not contain toxins."
However, the nutritionist warned that sweet potato should be consumed excessively, because it contains high level of oxalates, which can increase the risk of kidney stones formation.
Stay safe and healthy.

465 students. 200 JLG volunteers and more than 1,000 members. One partnership.
Just like the JLG, Ceasar Cone Elementary School is led by a mission — to provide an environment in which there are opportunities for all children to reach their maximum potential and to become productive citizens in an ever-changing world.
When Cone first approached the JLG, they told us that "The largest unmet need at Cone Elementary is the underdevelopment of avenues and processes for true partnering relationships between parents, students, and community within the school's staff to improve student learning and wellness."
A designated low-performing school, 97 percent of Ceasar Cone Elementary students qualify for free or reduced lunch. 14.2 percent are proficient in math. And 12 percent of Cone students were homeless in 2012.
But the JLG believes that the Cone Elementary Cougars are much more than numbers. That's why we've invested the full force of the JLG's time, talent and treasure in supporting Cone through a multi-year partnership. That investment spans two dozen League programs and community partners, emphasizing areas that will help Cone Cougars reach their maximum potential: academic progress; health, nutrition and wellness; basic needs, including feeding programs and school supplies; literacy; parental involvement; and school enrichment.
In the JLG's first three years of partnership with Cone Elementary in 2013–2016, we provided:
On top of that, over 200 students graduated from the 12-week Raising a Reader program, 208 new books were purchased for the Media Center, and over 450 students were presented the USDA My Plate curriculum through Kids in the Kitchen two years in a row.
As the League embarks on the third year of our three-year partnership with Cone Elementary, our goals are to create a sense of community among students, parents and teachers, as well as create a sustainability plan to make sure the League's work at Cone continues well into the future. Cone is our school!
We are currently accepting applications for community partners as we begin a new focus on Aging during the 2017–2018 year. For questions, email Cindy Patterson (2017–2018 External Planning Chair) at email@example.com.
