Choosing to produce videos for your students can make an incredible difference in their education. If you read last month’s blog post, you’ll remember it focused on faculty experiences utilizing this resource. While we explored the “Why” of creating video lessons for class, we hardly touched upon the “How”.
As the use of technology grows, meeting your students’ learning needs becomes more feasible. This month, we’re shining a spotlight on instructors Shaun Sarcona (MACA), Sam Sarkissian (BIOL), and Mark Champagne (CHEM) who create videos and post them online for their students. Although the three instructors represent different concentrations in the college, their stories all followed similar narratives.
When Dr. Christy Price, psychology professor from Dalton State College, began her keynote speech at Macomb Community College’s Faculty Development Day, her intent was to inspire continued action toward the increasing students’ successful behaviors. Price’s research on modern learners provided insight as to who our students are as a population and how instructors can reach them.
She organized her findings into the five following categories for engaging Millennials.
Free Textbooks, Quality Courses, Student Engagement, and More!
November was an especially stimulating month for several Macomb faculty and members of the CTL staff. On November 7th, we trekked northeast to attend the 2014 Educational Technology Organization of Michigan (ETOM) Fall Conference at St. Clair County Community College. Through a multitude of breakout sessions, this conference spotlighted faculty and staff from Michigan colleges and universities, giving them a space to share how they use technology to enrich education.
We tracked down a couple of participants and asked them to share their experience.
We read about it in the news every week – “JPMorgan Chase Hacking Affects 76 Million Households”, “A massive leak of private Snapchat pics — and an era when even ‘disappearing’ photos can reappear”, “Dropbox Blames Security Breach on Password Reuse” – corporations we trust are failing at keeping our private information safe. But is it entirely their fault?
The beginning of fall semester is a constant battle to redefine the balance among school, work, family, and personal time. It can be overwhelming, but there is a simple step you can take to help lighten that load. Update your First Day Handout!
…Thrilled? You should be! The most effective syllabi are integral resources and communication documents for students and instructors alike. Revising your first day handout will help keep you organized for each class session and ward away repetitive questions about assignment due dates and absence policies. Here we offer some helpful resources to make updating your first day handout more efficient.
When it comes to brain food, higher education offers the richest dishes. Instructors are master chefs in a fully stocked kitchen with a main course in mind and a hundred different ways to prepare it.
And, as you know, the preparation of a lesson is just as important as the delivery. It can make the difference between a bland dish and one bursting with flavor. Here’s one recipe to help you brew up a memorable course.
No, no, don’t go over your notes … you need to get into notes.
During the semester we frequently provide students with opportunities to interact with (1) their peers, (2) the professor, and (3) the course content. Interacting with peers usually means group work and discussion; interacting with you often takes the form of questions and dialogue. Interacting with the content can mean reading the textbook and other sources, identifying and mapping key concepts, articulating and questioning disciplinary assumptions, and taking notes. This month we’ll focus on simple strategies for helping students improve their note-taking skills.
Summer is just around the corner and our minds are beginning to wander. It can be tempting to daydream, especially after the past four frosty months, but we need to stay focused. Now is the time to reinforce the lessons taught throughout the term and confirm that your students are capable of applying them. We’ve spoken with some instructors at Macomb Community College and they have provided a few tips on how they manage to keep engagement and retention high through the end of the semester.

The news I’m reading implies that the price rise is due to heavy trading in China as investors flee from the yuan and utilize bitcoin as a convenient “store of value” (as opposed to gold). Expect more capital controls from the Chinese government as they attempt to staunch the flow.
When Bitcoin breached the $800 barrier, I thought a modest price pullback would soon follow. I have the same sentiment in mind now that the $900 threshold has been crossed. But hey, in the wild and wacky world of bitcoin you never know what the hell is gonna happen.
Could we soon see the price of BTC eclipsing the $1136 per-ounce value of gold, or could we see an epic crash looming? With so many governments deep in debt and central banks screwing up their economies, I think the former is more likely than the latter. What do you think?

Possible to buy replacement bottom casing?
Discussion in 'Mac Basics and Help' started by aphan, Jul 4, 2009.
Fell down the stairs and put a dent on the back of my new 13" MBP. Luckily its a smooth dent on the casing and did not cost any internal damage. Devastated, the dent is really bothering me now. Am I able to order a bottom panel with the same serial number?
ifixit is the place that I usually recommend but it seems that they do not have the 13" MacBook Pro parts yet. So you would have to resort to ebay, I believe.
Probably find them from the Powerbook and MacBook parts vendors, might be $100-150 + shipping.
Thanks, I'm somewhat relieved that I can buy a replacement. Out of curiosity, where are these vendors getting their parts from? The 'used' ones are obvious but I saw some 'brand new' casings and such.
Some of the vendors sell off parts on the sly under a generic name, even though they don't make as big a profit -- anything to boost them into the next discount level from a supplier helps, or simply boosts revenue and makes the balance sheet look better.

Reflective Practice – Just What Is It?
Hello everyone, I hope you had a good weekend. I took a weekend off work to recuperate and socialise with some good friends. I say that, I did spend most of Sunday helping my other half on her business, but to me that’s just fun! I love to help her.
Quite often you will come across new terms that you may not have heard before, but once explained they make perfect sense. Reflective practice is a perfect example of this. So just what is reflective practice?
Reflective practice is a modern term for the age-old practice of learning from experience. As the philosopher Plato encouraged centuries ago, “Know thyself.” The knowledge gained can be a series of stepping stones to success in all areas of your life.
Most of us are so busy at work and home that we feel as if we haven’t got time to think. This can become a serious problem, however, because the less you think, the more you act – or rather, the more you react. And as most of us have discovered at some point, it is much better to act with purpose rather than react to a situation.
Very few people are at our best when we are stressed, on deadline, or just having a bad day for a number of reasons that don’t have anything to do with work, but which can have a negative impact on our career if we are not careful.
With reflective practice, you can observe what you have done, evaluate how successful the results were, and come up with a range of smarter choices on how to handle similar situations in the future. Instead of reacting in the moment, you can be proactive and think, “I have several choices in this situation.” This will lead to better problem solving and decision making.
Once you realize you have several choices, you will feel a lot less trapped and stressed, and therefore be much less likely to snap at colleagues or say something to your boss that you will regret as soon as it comes out of your mouth.
In reflective practice, you are not just recalling what happened, but working as an active observer about the event, with a view to lessons learned from that “teaching moment.” The lessons might not just be relevant to that particular example, but the way you handle your work or home life in general. This means you can start to break free of patterns that might have been holding you back without you even realizing it.
The first thing to realize is the difference between just thinking about an event, and reflecting on it. Your reflective practice will be a conscious effort to evaluate what happened and why, in order to help you gain insights about yourself – such as your working and communication styles, the way you handle significant relationships in your life, and more.
The first step is to practice reflective practice each day so it becomes a habit. A journal or private blog, or folder on your computer, can all help you examine an event or occurrence in detail. More and more people are using journaling each night, and I find it’s a great way to log the days events. At this point you can reflect on your day, and think about the situations you have encountered.
In the process of examining, there is no need to be negative and beat yourself up over what happened. A lot of us suffer from a great deal of negative self-talk and low self-esteem as it is, without heaping more onto ourselves. The process of reflective practice is not about being your own worst critic. Rather, it is empowering yourself by developing a toolkit for self-improvement.
We are all human, and we all make mistakes. Reflective practice can help you put things into perspective. “Disasters” can become just another thing to deal with. “Problems” can become challenges. This process is commonly termed “re-framing,” in which we look at the same event in a whole new way.
If you’ve been feeling “stuck” in your life, try reflective practice and see how transformative it can be. Try it for a few weeks, every day, and see how your actions become more positive because you have learnt from experience.

His research has also identified novel sources of host plant resistance to spot form of net blotch which can be incorporated into future barley varieties. Dr McLean works in collaboration with other pathologists in Australia and internationally.

The injury bug is alive and well.
Jorge Masdival was set to face Siyar Bahadurzada at UFC 201, but due to an illness, the fight was canceled. Ross Pearson has been booked to replace him and go up against Masdival, fighting for the first time in his career as a welterweight. Pearson is coming off of a very close decision loss to former Bellator champion, Will Brooks, and is looking to bounce back quickly. He is facing a fighter in Masdival who is one of the toughest fights in the division and is also coming off of a loss, leaving both fighters in desperate need of a win.
You also have to wonder is Pearson is going to be making the permanent move up to the welterweight division or if this is a one time thing due to it being a short notice bout. Regardless, both men are extremely tough and this fight should be very entertaining.
The other bout that was affected by the injury bug was Dong Hyum Kim, who was set to face Neil Magny in a welterweight bout at UFC 202, but was forced off card due to an unknown injury. Lorenz Larkin has stepped up to take the fight on short notice, coming off of a split decision victory against Masdival.
Larkin has looked fantastic since moving down to the welterweight division, going 3-1 and will be facing a very tough opponent in Magny who has won three straight fights and winning 10 of his last 11. The winner of this fight is guaranteed to get a huge step up in competition and could be just one or two fights away from being a title contender.

It was the final time the current Saga ships would be doing a turnaround together in a UK port on the 5th June 2018. They were due for 8am and a couple from Deal were waiting for them too. Sapphy arrived first followed by Pearl. It was a shame it was so misty with drizzle, which hadn't been forecast, but great seeing them anyway. Afterwards, I returned to the hotel and enjoyed by double Saga view!
Both were scheduled to sail at 4pm and at least the weather was better, though still windy. The couple in the morning from Deal were back again. Sapphy left 25 minutes late, followed by Pearl a further 25 minutes later. Sapphy turned in front of Pearl. Last time I had seen two Sagas in Dover in 2013, Sapphy went astern past Ruby then turned, so this was enjoyable to see. As Pearl moved, a Spitfire and Harvard (North American T-6 Texan) flew overhead. There's a company in Kent which sell trips in a Harvard flying with a Spitfire for around £18,000, so it was probably that.

I was looking for a decent phone with basic features. I bought my T303 about a month ago and i'm very happy with it.
It really has a long battery life, with the vibration on - I forget when I last charged it. It is loud and the speaker is clear. Plus it looks great and is lovely to handle - a true eye-catcher! It has all the basic/necessary features: alarm clock (several in fact), notes, calendar.
Downside is sadly the screen.
- screen is small and its resolution is low. With a better screen using this phone could have been a much more enjoyable experience.
- It is nearly impossible to read what's on the screen in direct sunlight because of the mirror-effect! real inconvenience. Maybe the black version does not have this problem (i have the pink girlie one :) ).
To answer you Anonymous... no, it does not beep until the message is read.
I've purchased four of this phone for my family intended as a secondary phone... but it quickly turned out to be more than that... it became a favourite everyday phone because of its very convenient size... loosing it, dropping it... is not a problem because of a very cheap price. This is the best phone when it comes to practicality.
Hi everybody! Stop the noise... stop grumbling... you get what you pay for. You pay for a T303 and yet you expect the performance of a X1... that's unfair... be reasonable!
How can you release a phone in 2009 that doesn`t have a card slot??? The camera and the mp3 player are useless with the 8mb memory;my k700 that is 5 years old has bigger memeory. Cool design,but useless!
Anyone can help? Thank you very much!!!!
I hoped this phone has a voice memo before I bought it. I checked every thing in the menu, but I coudn't get it. How can I get? Your help please?
Annoyed T303 user., 04 Jan 2009This fone is so stupid! I thought it might be a decent fone. It has so many missing features t... moreYe i have to agree about the mp3 thing, i find it hard case that they advertise it as an mp3 handset yet u can only have like 2 songs maxx if u want memory 4 a couple of pics. But in saying that i reckon for the price its a f***ing awesome phone.
B+ 2 Sony Ericsson on this one.
Its only 6990Tk In Bangladesh which is 105 $ Approx.
Hot Phone but why on earth there is no SD card slot?
Ok fine If you don't give sd then whats wrong giving 64/128 MB built in Mem. Chips are damn cheap these days.
it is the best phone in the world. it is very small and very cheap.
For me this phone are for those who want a simple phone. simple and elegant design and most of all it is low cost.
i don't need SD memory card. i don't need mp3. i use mp3 music just for ringtone. i dont even like to take picture always.
for me this phone is best for me.
I read the specs , and was really disapointed by it's very low level voiced speaker .
what are the costs of higher level speaker ?
What kind of logic stands behined phone with (acceptable) 1.3 mp camera but no SD card ?
For Price tag of 180 usd (in Israel), we expact more than that .
wats d memoru space in dis fn how mny songs cn b copied in dis fone???
does anyone know why i can't download piccys being sent to me .
Just bought this phone 04/01/2009 in silver from MORRISONS £39.99 - fantastic value!

The General Services Administration’s (GSA) System for Award Management (SAM) announced its role in an ongoing Inspector General Investigation into alleged, third party fraudulent activity in SAM.
GSA suspects that the alleged fraudulent activity impacted only a limited number of entities. GSA has since notified the affected entities, and deactivated their SAM registrations. GSA also required these entities to validate and confirm their registration and bank account information in SAM before reactivating their SAM registrations.

As the contractor in ABS discovered, the Board considers “typewritten” signatures, regardless of font, to be insufficient.

This is the first book I have read by James H. Longmore but it will NOT be the last I can promise you this! This story had me hooked from the first word. It reeled me in like a fish on a line and held me there the entire book! His writing is very smooth like fine chocolate. I love reading books like this and it is a real treat when I fine one that makes me hold my breath and sit on the edge of my seat. This book might be fiction but when reading it you will wonder if there really are people like this out in the world. That makes it even more scary and believable. I can’t say enough that you really really really want to read this book!
The story starts with a couple who have found themselves in a horrific position. Definitely not one I would ever want to be involved with. They have been kidnapped and held but not for ransom for a sick and twisted game of their captors. They have both been brutalized in ways that you can’t even imagine. Now saying this the writer doesn’t go into discusting details but will definitely leave enough to your imagination that you can see what is going on and happening to this couple. They are staked down in a field in the middle of no where and there is an old-time black alarm clock with the bells between them that they can hear ticking. The captors have told them when the alarm sounds that they will die. Do they? I am not telling read the book.
Then the story back tracks to tell you how they got into this position and gives you insight into their lives. Who they are and what they do for a living. They are teachers on a summer break going on a vacation. Their one mistake is stopping in a small one horse town called Flanagan. To say the least not my idea of a great place to visit. They stop over night in the small hotel there and meet the strange and weird guy that works the front desk. He is a bit to “friendly” for their taste but all is well as they go to their room. They have a delicious dinner of tacos from the taco truck and go to sleep. The next morning while the husband is at the convenience store getting bagels the wife takes a dip in the motel pool. This is where all hell breaks loose. Now at this point you know I’m not telling you anymore. I will say that there is plenty of bloodshed, debauchery and abuse to the unsuspecting couple. Now this is where things get really good. There is a HUGE plot twist I never in a million years saw coming. It is perfect and fits the story oh so well. To say that James H. Longmore has a winner on his hands is being reserved in my book. If you love horror like I do then this is one you do not want to pass up reading.

It felt so good uncovering the grill this afternoon; a turning point in the season. It's been particularly wet and chilly here these last few weeks. The rain we needed. The cold temps, not so much. But now everything is blooming and the sun is shining bright. Despite my love of all things cooked over an open flame, I can count on one hand the number of times I've used a grill. Which is why Eric seemed so surprised last night when I asked him if the propane tank was full. Immediately, he wanted to know what I was planning. I tried to appear hurt, as if it were offensive for him to think that I was incapable of using the grill. "I want to make something for the blog. Thinking kabobs." He gave me a skeptical look and informed me that the tank was actually empty and I'd have to go get that filled. So today became all about getting this grill working. Once I got the propane, I went shopping, and then prepped, cooked and photographed these skewers. And now I'm writing all about it. Ok, this post is getting a bit meta.
I've always been a fan of swordfish, especially when a craving for chicken comes over me. It holds up beautifully on the grill and only takes a few minutes of cooking time. Let's take a moment for the veggies, shall we? I was tempted to go with cherry tomatoes, but sweet red pepper and charred red onion were what I was feeling, so that's where I went. And the sauce? So simple, so delicious. It may leave you with garlic breath for a little bit, but it's totally worth it.
1. Put the swordfish, red pepper, zucchini, and red onion in a large, non-reactive mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the lemon and lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, garam masala, salt and olive oil. Pour the marinade over the swordfish and vegetables and toss to combine. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 8 hours.
2. In a bowl, add the ingredients for the sauce and whisk until combined. Season with salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Preheat the grill to 450 degrees.
4. Thread the swordfish and vegetables onto metal skewers (for wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes before using them), rotating between the fish and the vegetables.
5. Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side.
6. Serve with lemon wedges and yogurt garlic sauce.
Growing up, my father, like most dads, was the grill master. He will still find any excuse to cook outside... nothing will deter him. A little rain? Put on a jacket and get an umbrella! Eric's the same way and has been known to uncover the grill in the middle of winter. I certainly have an appreciation for the art of grilling and realize how exhilarating it is to cook over an open flame. But I let these guys enjoy their moment. They know what they're doing and they seem to take great pride in their talents, so why take that away from them? I'll stand back and let them do their thing. Of course, my mother and I are the ones who season the food before it hits the grate... but I'll let that little detail slide.
I learned something recently that blew my mind, and yet it makes perfect sense. If one uses a marinade to baste meat or fish, then that liquid must first be cooked before it can be applied. I will often marinate whatever we're cooking, but seeing that I'm rarely in charge of grilling, I didn't pay attention to the process after the fish left the kitchen. It wasn't until I started to develop this recipe that I found out that marinade that's been used on raw fish or meat shouldn't be used to baste the protein, unless it's been heated prior to this point.
Now that we're half way through the work week, I suggest you get your weekend grill plans in order. We'll be using it quite a bit over ourselves, including next week when we spend a little time on the Cape.
1. Make the dressing for the slaw by whisking together the rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, white miso paste, ginger, honey, and red pepper flakes.
2. Place the grated carrot, scallion and raisins in a serving bowl. Pour dressing on top and mix to combine. Cover and let sit in the fridge for an hour before serving.
1. Prepare the marinade by whisking together the honey, olive oil, ground ginger, orange juice, lime juice and soy sauce in a bowl.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish and pour marinade over the fish. Cover and let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. Lightly oil the grill. Preheat the grill to medium heat.
4. Transfer the salmon to a platter. Reserve the marinade.
5. Place the marinade in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, cook for one minute. This will kill off any bacteria and make it safe to baste the salmon while it’s cooking.
6. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the grill.
7. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon, basting every 5 minutes. The way to tell if it's done is by testing the flesh with a fork. When it's done, it will begin to flake. Additionally, if you cut into the salmon, the meat should be opaque.
8. Transfer the fish to a platter and serve with carrot slaw.

Constellations are so magical: ancient maps in the sky imagined by people long ago. They are simple points of light light years away which were imagined into pictures by imagining connecting lines. They are a combination of astronomy, art, and myth.
Play dough is already a tremendous medium for sensory exploration and play that children love. This simple activity invites children to create their own unique constellations using small balls of play dough linked together by toothpicks.
You will first need to demonstrate how to make a constellation. Roll a few small pieces of play dough into balls. Use the toothpicks to make the connections between the stars and complete the picture of your constellation. You can print out pictures of real constellations and attempt to reproduce them, or you can make up your own imaginary constellations.

Curled up shirt collars are annoying and can be embarrassing. If you do your own laundry and frequently experience curled collars, here are a few tips to help you resolve the issue.
Remove your shirt from the dryer while it is still slightly damp. Hang the shirt and button the neck band. Fold the collar down and smooth out any wrinkles then allow the shirt to air dry.
Place the shirt on the ironing board and spread the collar out.
Iron the collar until it stays flat using a steam iron at the highest heat recommended on the label. Flip the shirt over and repeat ironing on the opposite side of the collar.
Lightly spray starch on the collar and iron it again. Flip the collar over, spray starch and iron on the opposite side. Iron the tips of the corners with the point of the iron.
The collars of quality men's shirts aren't usually prone to curling due to better cloth, construction, and the inclusion of collar stays. Collar stays can be purchased separately most often made from thin, flexible plastic but can also be found in mother of pearl and stainless steel. These can be purchased online or in men's clothing shops. Collar stays are slipped into (and out of, before laundering) a small fabric pocket sewn to the underside of the shirt collar. Stays prevent the collar points from curling.
Plastic collar stays are meant to be removed from the shirt before laundering as they can melt under high temperatures. Magnetic collar stays, peel-and-stick temporary collar stays, and iron-on collar stays are available for purchase as well and are easily found online. Both the peel-and-stick and the iron-on collar stays are also good for polo and other knit shirts with curled collars.
Of course, you can always depend on A Cleaner World for expert laundering, dry cleaning, and clothing care. Contact us or stop by any of our convenient locations for prompt attention to your curled collars as well as additional dry cleaning services. Also check out our Wild Wednesday deals, where everyone can get ACW quality at great prices every Wednesday.

I am finally settled into The Auxiliary here in Stockton-on-Tees, UK. I flew back from NZ last week and traveled north on the Thursday. I am here working on some new modes of output for sonic works. Realising how I can install some of the glitch sound pieces and working on new processes at the same time. Anna and Liam who run The Auxiliary have been great hosts and offer heaps of support both with introducing me to the area and equipment. The next two months should prove to be fruitful and I am excited to see what I can accomplish in this time.
The School of Sound is a symposium created to encourage a cross-disciplinary approach to using sound in the arts and media. We explore what sound does, how audiences listen.
It is a place where for 4 days you can raise your awareness of how audio production works, how it conveys information and emotion, how you can work with it.
But how do you think about something so ephemeral? And how do you teach it? Sound always seems to be occupying areas of ambiguity – the emotional, the subtext, the intuitive, the borders between reality and fantasy, the conscious and the subconscious. And by their very nature, academia and professional practice shy away from ambiguity and cross-fertilisation, staying within their own boundaries. But interesting things happen when you start mixing them up!
For four days, out of your usual routine, you’ll be immersed in a world of imagination, invention and innovation. Listening to presentations from a diversity of incredible talents, you will be able to disconnect from your day-to-day work, taken out of your comfort zone, to reflect on sound as something that is profoundly complex, entertaining and important.
It is not an academic conference it is not about getting a job and it is not about hardware or software. The SOS provides a rare opportunity to hear and meet 20 creatives working at the highest levels of the arts and media speaking in detail about how they think and work.
And the SOS is not about just one area of sound production. It covers film, theatre, dance, games, installation, music and radio that will expand your thinking and increase your ability to work in diverse areas of media and the arts.
At the SOS you will mix with hundreds of like-minded people – professional practitioners, educators, artists and students – with whom you can network, exchange ideas and create collaborations.
with more participants to be announced in the coming weeks.
The renowned Foley artist (Gravity, Wuthering Heights) who has now turned to more abstract, space-based sound work, describes his techniques and methods.
The relationship between sound, movement and performance is the focus of this conversation between Davies, one of Europe’s leading choreographers, and collaborator Fargion, a composer and performer whose works have been performed around the world. Looking and listening to excerpts of their own work, they examine the process by which movement comes out of audio and, specifically, the differences between working with music and soundscapes. And following from that, they will question the varying effects of recorded or live music, analogue or synthesised, acoustics and the influence of an audience’s proximity to the performance.
Director, writer and theorist, Akomfrah’s body of work embraces documentaries, feature films and exhibitions that have garnered international critical acclaim. In this presentation he explores how sound adapts to the requirements of different media and content.
Sound designer for the acclaimed Limbo, by Playdead, Andersen analyses his techniques for creating soundtracks in the indie-game environment, looking forward to his next release, Inside.
Having worked at EA Criterion (Black, Burnout) and currently Senior Sound Designer at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe with credits that include Wonderbook, Diggs Nightcrawler and Project Morpheus, Joanna describes the level of research and conceptualising required for AAA games.
Broadcaster and writer Piers Plowright explores the pictures that sound creates and considers the silence that surrounds the best music and words. His starting point is Bobby Gentry’s 1967 hit, Ode to Billie Joe.
Dickie has gained notoriety as a pioneer of “playback” performance: the uncanny embodiment (or “re-memberment”) of found sound – a style of performance that emerges from the drag tradition of lip synching. He positions the body as an archive, especially of the “missing” – re-visioning and playing back voices from the margins: voices of figures we might not normally hear in the mainstream, in ways that we might not be accustomed to hearing them.
Images of car bombs, assassinations, armed conflict, protests and fiery politicians are the world’s postcards from Beirut. And over time, these images have come to trigger hatred, superiority, racism and, most importantly – fear. It is through listening to Beirut, or any city for that matter, that one can overcome the prejudice of these images and create a subjective affinity. And it is through sounds that we can identify and empathize with events that at first seem strangely alien to us.
Stidworthy will be discussing the voice at the borders of language through her most recent project, Balayer – A Map of Sweeping (2014) – a three-screen installation with ambisonic sound (see Speakers’ Biographies for more details), and a number of related works.
Opera, theater, and festival director Peter Sellars has gained renown worldwide for his groundbreaking and transformative interpretations of artistic masterpieces and collaborative projects with an extraordinary range of creative artists across three decades. Whether it is Bach, Mozart, Handel, Shakespeare, Sophocles, or the 16th century Chinese playwright Tang Xianzu, Peter Sellars strikes a universal chord with audiences, engaging and illuminating contemporary social and political issues.
Are we simply humans? Or are there animals inside of us? Plants? Landscapes?
This is the underlying question in Ánde Sombys preformance. During the performance there will be given “yoik-impersonations” of birds, insects and animals.
This is influenced by the idea of transformation in the pre-Christian Sámi religion – that a human could transform into an animal and back to a human again. And the inspiration is that in our modern day many birds and animals are threatened. How would they feel about pollution, for example?
The SOS 2015 programme is subject to change. The School of Sound reserves the right to make changes to the content, schedule, list of speakers, topics or venue. All updates will be listed on this website.

The Wightlink Islanders management will be anxiously awaiting a phonecall from in-form reserve Brandon Freemantle who is set to visit his local hospital for further x-rays and treatment on his lower left arm which he damaged in a horrific high speed crash at Smallbrook on Tuesday.
He and Coventry’s Joe Jacobs were dicing for second place in Heat 12 behind Wightlink Islander’s skipper Ben Hopwood when they collided entering the third bend of the third lap and both were thrown from their machines in spectacular fashion, landing heavily and laying prone on the track.
The stadium fell silent as the medical crew raced to the aid of the stricken duo and there was a sense of some relief as Jacobs, who was disqualified from the race by referee Graham Reeve as being the cause of the crash, got to his feet and was able to walk back to the pit area.
Meanwhile Freemantle continued to be attended to but whilst things began to look really serious when the ambulance was called onto the circuit but again those watching from the stand were mightily relieved when the popular teenager, in typical speedway rider fashion, scorned a ride in that and got to his feet to walk back to the pit area.
The paramedic immediately decreed that he was unfit to continue racing in the meeting and Brandon accepted the advice to go to hospital for x-rays on the injury to his left arm that was obviously causing him considerable pain and those x-rays revealed at least one broken bone between his hand and elbow.
His injury certainly dampened the Wightlink Islanders celebrations over their 48-42 victory over league leaders Coventry in a match in which there were never more than four points separating the two sides until the end of heat 15 when Adam Ellis and Ben Hopwood recorded a 4-2 advantage to see the Wightlink Islanders home.
And in winning that final race of the night, Freemantle’s reserve partner Adam Ellis completed a stunningly magnificent 21 points maximum score winning all seven of his races once again demonstrating what an exceptional young talent he is.
Quite what the final score would have been had Wightlink Islanders No.1 Tom Perry been fit to ride will be open to debate bearing in mind that his replacement, Dudley’s Paul Starke, finished fourth in three of his five races and Tom Young made a low key return to the side after his spell on the sidelines, suffering mechanical problems that forced him to retire from two of his four rides.
