  • Be Mindful of the Future: Information and Knowledge Management in Star Wars Tie-In Fiction
    Volume 13 Spring 2017 djim.management.dal.ca | Be mindful of the future: information and knowledge management in Star Wars tie-in fiction Diana Castillo School of Information Management, Dalhousie University Abstract In the last fifty years, media franchises have been using tie-in fiction to expand their universes and tell stories outside the main source material. This paper examines how information management is used specifically in Star Wars tie-in fiction and its recent transition to using knowledge management. To start, this paper looks at the history of tie-in fiction from its roots in the 1960s to the modern day, before transitioning to the role of brand managers and editors as information managers. Then, this paper documents the history of Star Wars tie-in fiction and how information management strategies were implemented through 2014 and how it impacted the franchise’s internal continuity. Finally, this paper examines the recent move towards a unified canon and how this shift towards knowledge management has impacted storytelling. This paper concludes that while it is too early to evaluate its results, Star Wars was uniquely situated among franchises to move towards knowledge management through its prior information management efforts. Introduction universes and tell stories they may not be able to tell otherwise. Creating a well-run line In today’s entertainment environment, of tie-in fiction requires coordination between popular franchises are rarely limited to one authors, publishing houses, and the licensing type of media. They license their products company through information management. across various different formats to engage In the context of this paper, information fans and expand their footprint in popular management is defined as working with culture as much as possible.

This update includes a revision of content standards and benchmarks published in, earlier updates and the synthesis and identification of standards in new areas. Standards and benchmarks are provided for science, mathematics, history, geography, the arts, the language arts, and health. Also included are standards in thinking and reasoning and an analysis and description of knowledge and skills considered important for the workplace. Following an introduction, the second section presents an overview of the current efforts towards standards in each of these subject areas. Section 3 describes the technical and conceptual differences that have been apparent in the standards movement and the model adopted for this study. Section 4 presents key questions that should be addressed by schools and districts interested in a standards-based strategy.

Despite these great distances, astronomers have learned an enormous amount about stars. How? The most common method to study the stars is called spectroscopy, which is the science of analyzing the colorful rainbow spectrum produced by a prism-like device. Until recently, spectroscopy was too expensive and too complicated for all but a handful of amateurs. Today, though, new tools make spectroscopy accessible to almost all of us. You no longer need a PhD, dark skies, long Image Credit – NASA, JPL, University exposures, enormous aperture … or a big budget! With your current of Arizona telescope and FITS camera (or a simple web cam or even a DSLR Victoria Crater, near the equator of Mars, as imaged by the High without a telescope) you can now easily study the stars yourself. Wouldn’t Resolution Imaging Experiment you like to detect the atmosphere on Neptune or the red shift of a quasar (HiRISE) on the Mars right from your own backyard?! Reconnaissance Orbiter.

  • State Da Vinci Decathlon 2016 Practice Tasks
    Knox Grammar School STATE DA VINCI DECATHLON 2016 PRACTICE TASKS CELEBRATING THE ACADEMIC GIFTS OF STUDENTS IN YEARS 9, 10 & 11 Task developed by Karen Yager, Knox Grammar School, 2016 An academic gala day for Years 9, 10 & 11 Team Number _____________ Task developed by Karen Yager, Knox Grammar School, 2016 Background information The poet T.S. Eliot wrote “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time”. Throughout history humanity has yearned to explore new worlds. However, many after travelling to new places discover that they long to return to their home. They see home in a fresh light and question why they left it in the first place. Homer’s legendary hero Odysseus explored new countries and met fascinating people and creatures but after the tragic loss of all of his men he realised that he wanted to return home to Penelope and the life he led in Ithaca: Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. Driven by curiosity many have left home to explore new worlds: the sailors who sailed across unknown, treacherous seas to explore new lands; young country boys who enlisted during the world wars to escape their country homes and explore foreign places; scientists who are planning to travel to Mars knowing that there will be no return; and even many young people who long to leave their home after school and explore new worlds but after extensive travelling discover that their home was a wonderful place.

  • ASTROGEOGRAPHY by Robert Powell
    By Robert Powell www.astrogeographia.org/ Index 2 3 Introduction: The Zodiac A true understanding of the zodiac lies at the foundation of Astrogeographia . As Professor Otto Neugebauer (1899-1990) wrote in his great work A History of Ancient Mathematical Astronomy : "The natural reference system for the motion of the planets, moon and sun, are the fixed stars..." Once having grasped - through the application of "as above, so below" - that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the celestial sphere and the terrrestrial sphere, such that each place on the Earth corresponds to a star in the heavens, there is no other possibility for understanding the zodiac than in terms of the stars making up the signs of the zodiac. By way of illustration, returning again to the correspondence between Vienna and Aldebaran, there was a time when Vienna, under the Hapsburg dynasty, was the center of Europe. This perfectly mirrored the central position of Aldebaran in Taurus. As shown in Robert Powell's Ph.D. thesis, published in book form under the title History of the Zodiac , the original definition of the zodiac made by the Babylonians early in the fifth century BC was specified by the two first magnitude stars Aldebaran at the center of Taurus and Antares in the middle of Scorpio such that the zodiacal locations of Aldebaran and Antares were defined to be 15 degrees Taurus and 15 degrees Scorpio. Once this central axis running through the middle of the signs of Taurus and Scorpio was defined by these two stars, the longitudes in the 30 degree divisions known as signs of other bright stars in the twelve zodiacal constellations could be ascertained.
