Mother's interrupted the course of our journey. She's programmed to do that should certain conditions arise. They have. It seems that she has... intercepted a transmission of unknown origin. She got us up to check it out. Ripley: A transmission? Out here? Lambert: What kind of a transmission? Dallas: Acoustical beacon. It, uh... repeats at intervals of 12 seconds. Kane: S.O.S.?

Dallas: Unknown. – Alien, 1979 2 Share the Badass Manifesto on Shit you should know before you start First of all you may be asking yourself, could I write this book without swearing? The answer is yes. But I didn't. I don't plan to coddle you in other ways, either. There are plenty of websites and gurus who will give you the message that everything's fine, you're okey-dokey just the way you are, don't worry about those mean people – they don't understand you like I do, the timing isn't right, wait for your prince or ship or winning lottery ticket, etc. I hope you're sick of that shit. I know I am. The reason I wrote this is because I think you've been coddled for too long. You have a sneaking suspicion that there's waaay more to life, love, art, relationships, health, and work than you've gotten so far.

  • Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari
    Culture, Tourism, Europe and External Relations Committee Scotland’s Screen Sector Written submission from Professor Robert Beveridge FRSA, University of Sassari 1. Introduction While it is important that the Scottish Parliament continues to investigate and monitor the state of the creative and screen industries in Scotland, the time has surely come for action rather than continued deliberation(s) The time has surely come when we need to stop having endless working parties and spending money on consultants trying to work out what to do. Remember the ‘Yes Minister’ Law of Inverse Relevance ‘ ‘The less you intend to do about something, the more you have to keep talking about it ‘ ‘Yes Minister’ Episode 1: Open Government Therefore, please note that we already know what to do. That is: 1.1 - Appoint the right people with the vision leadership and energy to succeed. 1.2 - Provide a positive legislative/strategic/policy framework for support. 1.3 - Provide better budgets and funding for investment and/or leverage for the same. (You already have access to the data on existing funding for projects and programmes of all kinds. If the Scottish Government wishes to help to improve performance in the screen sector, there will need to be a step change in investment. There is widespread agreement that more is needed.) 1.4 Give them space to get on with it. That is what happened with the National Theatre of Scotland. This is what happened with MG Alba. Both signal success stories. Do likewise with the Screen Industries in Scotland 2. Context Some ten years ago the Scottish Government established the Scottish Broadcasting Commission.

  • Real Life RPG, Or the VIDEO GAME PLAY by Reynaldo Piniella
    1 Real Life RPG, or THE VIDEO GAME PLAY by Reynaldo Piniella Commissioned by Baltimore Center Stage Ben Izzo A3 Artists Agency 350 5th Ave. - 38th Fl. New York, NY 10118 (646) 491-9383 [email protected] 1 2 When should you read this play? When you’re feeling overwhelmed, tired of being stuck in the house or just in need of a laugh, read this play. If you can, gather some friends and family and read it out loud. You’ll be laughing at each other by the end if it or laughing at me for thinking of this silliness. A Video Game Play? When I thought about what “Play At Home” meant to me, I realized that I’ve been playing a lot of video games at home these days. So, this play is based on some of my favorite RPGs (role playing games.) For those of you who know nothing about video games, don’t fret. You’ll get to wear cool clothes, fight with crazy weapons and save the world before going back to the beginning to do it all over again. Note This play is modeled after a video game demo where you’ll get to play the first mission of a broader narrative. This is just the start of your adventure, not the end. And because it’s a demo, it’s a work-in-progress not the final product. This play is a “choose your own adventure” so the choices you make will affect the world around you. Choose wisely. These life changing questions will be bolded.

  • Abstract Balance by Eva Snyder B.A
    Abstract Balance By Eva Snyder B.A. Music and Computer Science Mount Holyoke College Balance, a three-song extended play album, was recorded in Nashville, ​ Tennessee in March of 2017 and debuted during an evening length senior recital on April 15th, 2017 at Mount Holyoke College. This paper details the processes of networking, marketing, and recording I have undertaken to produce my first professional album in the country music genre. Throughout this year, I have explored entrepreneurship in a new light and seen firsthand the issues that come along with the music industry. Using strong networking skills that I have developed, I have crafted my own solutions to said roadblocks. I have utilized new apps to quickly grow a supportive fanbase and interviewed fellow artists of differing levels of success searching for advice. In addition, I have emailed, phoned and met face-to-face with industry professionals as well as produced three radio-quality original songs while working seamlessly with highly accredited engineers in Nashville. Reflecting upon this year-long adventure will provide me with useful insights as to what worked and what did not work in regards toward advancing my professional music career. In the years to come, I hope Balance​ will spark other recording projects and be the ​ stepping stone for me to become a successful songwriter in Music City. 1 BALANCE Eva Snyder 2 Acknowledgments I would like to thank... My Dziadziu and Babciu for providing the music that accompanies my life My family for instilling music in me since before

  • A Sour Note in the Same Old Song: Determining and Protecting Ownership Rights in the Digital Age
    A SOUR NOTE IN THE SAME OLD SONG: DETERMINING AND PROTECTING OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE by Cory VanDyke* “One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain.”1 When this lyric was wailed by reggae legend Bob Marley in 1971, the music industry was very different than the one in which artists currently find themselves. Today, the music industry is almost synonymous with “pain” as an increase in illegal downloading has resulted in a large amount of financial loss and legal turmoil. From 2004 to 2009 alone, over thirty billion songs were illegally downloaded, resulting in an overall global market decline of approximately thirty one percent.2 In an effort to thwart digital piracy and protect their works, the recording industry has brought suits against over thirty-five thousand private individuals.3 Though litigation against individual consumers seems to be subsiding, a more important legal battle looms on the horizon due to a change in copyright law that took place nearly forty years ago. The Copyright Act of 1976, which actually took effect in 1978, arguably gave many musicians the ability to reclaim copyrights in their original creations, starting thirty-five years after a grant of copyrights was made, effectively terminating any rights that the artists may have granted (e.g. to record companies) when their songs were first recorded.4 On January 1, 2013, the first songs covered by the 1976 Act became eligible for reclamation.5 Now, with each subsequent year, a new batch of songs will become available for possible reclamation.6 Legendary artists such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Bryan Adams have reportedly already filed claims at the United States Copyright Office on eligible songs.7 As one could imagine, these “termination rights” are not uncontested.

A’ OOR AIN: THE MAKING OF A SCOTTISH NATIONAL CINEMA THROUGH SHORT FICTION FILMS 1930-2016 by Zach Finch A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2017 ABSTRACT A’ OOR AIN: THE MAKING OF A SCOTTISH NATIONAL CINEMA THROUGH SHORT FICTION FILMS 1930-2016 by Zach Finch The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Tami Williams This dissertation tells a story of Scottish national cinema through Scotland’s short fiction films from 1930 to 2016. As a small nation within the United Kingdom, Scotland’s film culture has played a subordinate role in relation to England’s, and has struggled for decades to create its own thriving film industry. However, in the mid-1990s, critics and scholars began to talk of a uniquely Scottish national cinema, rather than the traditional and all-encompassing “British cinema,” because of the success of films like Shallow Grave (1994) and Trainspotting (1996).
