  • 1 Update Report on the Winning Years Prepared for the Scottish
    Update Report on The Winning Years Prepared for the Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee 9 September 2013 INTRODUCTION This report updates the Scottish Parliament’s Economy, Energy and Tourism Committee on the activity and results from The Winning Years; eight milestones over three years which VisitScotland and partners have been promoting to, and working with, the tourism industry on. The overall ambition behind the development of the Winning Years concept is to ensure that the tourism industry and wider visitor economy is set to take full advantage of the long-term gains over the course of the next few years. The paper is divided into sections covering each of the milestones: Year of Creative Scotland The 2012 London Olympics The Diamond Jubilee Disney.Pixar’s Brave Year of Natural Scotland The Commonwealth Games The 2014 Ryder Cup Homecoming Scotland 2014 (incl. up to date list of events) From this report Committee members will see that excellent progress has been made, with strong interest in Scotland’s tourism product from around the world as the country builds to welcome the world in 2014. All of this despite the continuing global economic difficulties. Evidence of bucking the global trend and the success of the 2012 Winning Years milestones can be seen in VisitScotland’s announcement at the end of August that its two main marketing campaigns brought nearly £310m additional economic benefit for Scotland since January 2012. This is a rise of 14% on the same period the year before. VisitScotland’s international campaigns target Scotland’s main markets across the globe including North America, Germany and France as well as emerging markets, such as India and China.

  • Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE Mcgonigal
    Reality Is Broken a Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World E JANE McGONIGAL THE PENGUIN PRESS New York 2011 ADVANCE PRAISE FOR Reality Is Broken “Forget everything you know, or think you know, about online gaming. Like a blast of fresh air, Reality Is Broken blows away the tired stereotypes and reminds us that the human instinct to play can be harnessed for the greater good. With a stirring blend of energy, wisdom, and idealism, Jane McGonigal shows us how to start saving the world one game at a time.” —Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slowness and Under Pressure “Reality Is Broken is the most eye-opening book I read this year. With awe-inspiring ex­ pertise, clarity of thought, and engrossing writing style, Jane McGonigal cleanly exploded every misconception I’ve ever had about games and gaming. If you thought that games are for kids, that games are squandered time, or that games are dangerously isolating, addictive, unproductive, and escapist, you are in for a giant surprise!” —Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of California, Riverside, and author of The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want “Reality Is Broken will both stimulate your brain and stir your soul. Once you read this remarkable book, you’ll never look at games—or yourself—quite the same way.” —Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive and A Whole New Mind “The path to becoming happier, improving your business, and saving the world might be one and the same: understanding how the world’s best games work.

  • No Longer and Not Yet
    1 Title: No Longer and Not Yet Author: Edward Hollis Architecture_media_politics_society. vol. 3, no.2. September 2013 Photograph: Edward Hollis The forest of Kilmahew, around twenty miles west of Glasgow, conceals an architectural cautionary tale. In the 1960’s, the landscape was radically transformed by a building. St Peter’s seminary was built to house around a hundred catholic novices. Its plan and section, the work of the architects Gillespie Kidd and Coia, were a rigorous statement of the modernist maxim that form follows function. But within a ARCHITECTURE_MEDIA_POLITICS_SOCIETY Vol. 3, no.2. July 2013 1 2 decade, there were not enough priests to fill it; and St Peter’s became a form without a function. That was 1987, and since then it has resisted numerous attempts to provide it with a new one: designed as closely as it was to a specific programme, the building remains empty, and derelict. It is no longer what it used to be, and not yet what it can be. The caution is simple: design a building programmatically, and you’ll end up with a ruin. This author has been involved since the Venice Biennale of 2010 with a new proposal for St Peter’s led by the Glasgow arts collective NVA (Nacionale Vitae Activa). We have no images of what it will look like, or when it will be ready. St Peter’s isn’t going to be restored any time soon. Instead, we propose to leave the building perpetually incomplete – both ruin and building site. It’s a model of what all buildings should be: they are, in environmental terms, expensive.

Niemi TURUN YLIOPISTO Historian laitos/Humanistinen tiedekunta NIEMI, SEIJA A.: Suomalaisen metsäluonnon lukemisen historiaa - ihmisen ja koivun muuttuva suhde Suomessa 1730-luvulta 1930-luvulle Lisensiaatintutkimus, 198 s. Suomen historia Maaliskuu 2005 Tutkimus on perustutkimus suomalaisten metsäluonnon lukutaidosta ja käsityksistä koivusta ja sen käytöstä kahdensadan vuoden ajalta. Valitun ajanjakson sisällä on ollut mahdollista havaita sekä perinteisen maanviljelyajan että teollisen ajan metsäluonnon lukutaidon yhtäläisyydet ja erot. Yhteistä koko jaksolle on ollut huoli metsien riittävyydestä ja oikeasta hoidosta. Eroja on ollut metsänkäyttötavoissa perinteisen luontaistalouden muututtua teollisuuden ajan kulutusyhteiskunnaksi. Tutkimuksen pääkysymykset ovat:1) Miten suomalaisten metsäluonnon lukutaito ja käsitykset koivusta ja sen resursseista ovat muuttuneet 1730-luvulta 1930-luvulle ja 2) mitkä seikat ovat näihin muutoksiin vaikuttaneet? Tutkimuksen esimerkkinä metsäluonnon lukemisesta on suomalaisten suhde koivuun. Tutki- muksessa tarkastellaan ympäristön lukutaidon avulla, miten ihminen ymmärtää ja tulkitsee ympäristöään tässä tutkimuksessa metsäluontoa. Ympäristön lukutaito on kokonaisvaltaista luonnon ymmärtämistä, tulkitsemista ja määrittelemistä huomioiden, elämysten, arvojen, asenteiden ja tiedon avulla. Taidon perustana

  • The Media-Real (Final
    The Rise of the Media­Real: Representation, the Real and September 11, 2001 By Jodie Florence Vaile BA (CS) University of Newcastle A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Canberra September 2010. Abstract On the 11th of September 2001 the world witnessed an unparalleled type of catastrophic event; the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and the attempted attack on the White House. One of the key factors making these attacks so unprecedented was that the second plane was caught live on television as it struck the second tower, as were the subsequent collapses of the two towers. To a large degree the events of this day were broadcast live to a mass global audience and it was this mediation that set the event apart. The mediation of this event was, on so many levels, more important than the event itself. It was not the first terrorist attack on a Western country, it did not cause the greatest loss of life of any catastrophic event, in a hypermediated world it was not even the most spectacular thing to appear on a television screen, yet no other event in recent history comes close to the level of effect that September 11 has had. This is the central concern that began the journey of this thesis, how did the representation of this event shape what possible societal perceptions of reality were available? This thesis is an exploration of why this event in particular has had the impact that it has and it is through this exploration of these issues that I propose this new model of the communication of spectacular catastrophic events – the media‐real.
