His 1924 Rhapsody in Blue was an instant classic rooted in in his absorp- tion of African American music. A decade later came a groundbreaking “folk opera”: Porgy and Bess, his magnum opus. The brothers then left New York to write songs for Hollywood— but their work was cut short when George developed a brain tumor. At thirty- eight, he died a beloved American artist.

  • Hacking Motivation
    Hacking Life • Hacking Life Chapter 4: Hacking Motivation Joseph Reagle Published on: Apr 03, 2019 Updated on: Apr 09, 2019 Hacking Life • Hacking Life Chapter 4: Hacking Motivation On a lovely summer day, I headed to San Francisco’s Presidio Park for a picnic unlike any other I have attended. The small gathering was for fans of the motivation app Beeminder, and Nick Winter, author of The Motivation Hacker, was the special guest. Winter is the “founder/hacker” behind Skritter, an app for learning Chinese characters, and CodeCombat, a platform that gamifies learning to code. It’s clear that despite being someone who sometimes spends many hours in front of a computer, like Ferriss and Tynan, he isn’t content with the skinny-nerd stereotype. Winter’s webpage features a picture of him doing a single-arm handstand: he’s wearing a Google T-shirt, thin-soled “five-finger” shoes—also preferred by Tynan—and a surprisingly serene expression for someone who is upside down (figure 4.1). When I met at him at the picnic, he was wearing the same nonshoes and tossing a Frisbee. 2 Hacking Life • Hacking Life Chapter 4: Hacking Motivation Nick Winter doing a handstand, 2013, http://www.nickwinter.net/.

  • THE SOUL of a HORSE Life Lessons from the Herd
    THE SOUL OF A HORSE Life Lessons from the Herd Romps into its Fourth Printing Only Eight Months After Publication The Soul of a Horse: Life Lessons from the Herd romped into its fourth printing by Random House/Harmony Books barely eight months after publication, well on its way to changing traditional thinking about horses forever. Joe Camp, whom The New York Times has called "a master storyteller" said, "I couldn't be happier. My greatest fear was that people would think this book was just for horse lovers, but that has not been the case." The book went into its fourth printing January 7, 2009 after hitting its first best seller lists just before Christmas. "Reviews and word-of-mouth have been amazing," Camp said. "One called it Marley & Me on a mission, which is pretty impressive company. We're making a big difference in the lives of horses and people all across the country, and that carries with it one terrific feeling." Joe Camp is a man used to trusting his instincts--and he's usually right. In the early 1970s, Joe knew he had a special story to tell about a dog. But Hollywood didn't see what Joe saw, and he was met with "no" at every turn. Believing in the story he had to tell, Joe produced, directed, and distributed the movie himself--and the phenomenon of Benji was born and became the #3 movie of the year. When Joe became a new horse owner a mere three years ago by way of a birthday surprise from his wife, Kathleen, he once again trusted his instincts.

  • INFORMATION in PURSUIT of the “GOOD DEATH”: LIBRARIES' ROLE in the DEATH POSITIVITY MOVEMENT (Paper)
    Roger Chabot Western University, London, Ontario, Canada INFORMATION IN PURSUIT OF THE “GOOD DEATH”: LIBRARIES’ ROLE IN THE DEATH POSITIVITY MOVEMENT (Paper) Abstract: The Death Positivity Movement (DPM) is a recent social and activist movement seeking to change the North American “culture of silence” surrounding death and dying. Seeking to engage with the conference theme of “conversations across boundaries,” this presentation presents arguments as to why libraries should be involved in the movement and also outlines more specifically actions that they can take to be involved. In this presentation, a short introduction to the DPM will be provided, followed by a brief discussion of the concept of the “good death”. Arguments will then be made explaining why libraries should be involved in the DPM and then the last section explores more specifically how libraries can be involved through collection development, community assistance and programming. 1. Introduction The Death Positivity Movement (DPM, or sometimes Death Positive Movement) is a recent social and activist movement seeking to change the North American “culture of silence” (Doughty, 2019b) surrounding death and dying. The modern DPM is relatively novel, and until now has been primarily driven through the publishing and sharing of content on social media (Hayasaki, 2013). However, as the movement grows, libraries are well positioned to be involved in the movement through their role as information providers and community builders. In turn, the pursuit of the goals of the DPM fulfills the mission of libraries. In engaging with the CAIS/ACSI 2019 conference theme of “conversations across boundaries,” this presentation explores the current and future relationship between the DPM and libraries to bring awareness to it and to further promote its growth.

    Death Positivity and Death Justice in the Anthropocene by Danika Vilene Jorgensen Skakum A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In Gender and Social Justice Studies Department of Women's and Gender Studies University of Alberta © Danika Vilene Jorgensen Skakum, 2018 Death Positivity and Death Justice ii Abstract The Death Positivity Movement is a relatively new group of advocates who argue for greater death acceptance in Western society. This thesis explores how the Death Positivity Movement might help humans respond justly to mass death in the Anthropocene, when gross ecological change threatens human extinction and the extinction of other species. Using a number of sociological texts to contextualize the movement’s claims —in turn gathered from a swath of popular news articles and the movement’s online material — this thesis concludes that the Death Positivity Movement might practically apply to death denial in the Anthropocene, described by the author as the refusal to acknowledge those deaths associated with environmental change and reliance on techno-scientific geoengineering solutions. However, this thesis also draws significantly from Donna Haraway’s use of the “compost” to expand the Death Positivity Movement’s understanding of social justice and a “good death for all” for a non-human context as well. Death Positivity and Death Justice iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank a number of people for supporting me in this thesis writing adventure. First, my amazing supervisor Chloë Taylor. I could not have dreamed up a better supervisor if I tried! Thank you for all that you do, and for all of your time and labor.

They’re paying for the people.” Jack Conte, founder of Patreon “We ascribe to the idealistic notion that audiences don’t pay for things because they’re forced to, but because they care about the stuff that they love and want it to continue to grow.” Hank Green, founder of Subbable iii CROWDFUNDING WEBCOMICS – LIZ DOWTHWAITE – AUGUST 2017 ABSTRACT The recent phenomenon of internet-based crowdfunding has enabled the creators of new products and media to share and finance their work via networks of fans and similarly-minded people instead of having to rely on established corporate intermediaries and traditional business models. This thesis examines how the creators of free content, specifically webcomics, are able to monetise their work and find financial success through crowdfunding and what factors, social and psychological, support this process. Consistent with crowdfunding being both a large-scale social process yet based on the interactions of individuals (albeit en mass), this topic was explored at both micro- and macro-level combining methods from individual interviews through to mass scraping of data and large-scale questionnaires.
