Conclusions 24 Executive Summary This deliverable focuses on updating dissemination and communication plan for BiocopacPlus. This second dissemination and exploitation plan is a follow up on deliverable D1.2 that has been released on 27/01/2015 (M8). The aim of this deliverable is to update a detailed dissemination and exploitation plan and report on results achieved regarding dissemination and exploitation activities. 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose of the document This document is an update of the previous plan that takes into account the obtained results until now. Given the positive results, there were no substantial changes. 1.2 Dissemination strategy The dissemination strategy of BiocopacPlus is made up of three consecutive phases: • The goal of the first, awareness-oriented phase, is to raise awareness within a different subjects about the project and its objectives. • The second, result-oriented phase, aims to promote the results of the project, in order to allow potential interested parties to get to know the achievements and the related benefits of the BiocopacPlus project. • And finally, in the third exploitation-oriented phase, specific activities were defined to start the actual exploitation. 3 LIFE+ 2013 All of these phases require different methods and activities to be initiated in order to be able to achieve the goals. The details of each of these phases will be outlined now. 1.2.1 Raising awareness Raising awareness involve the setting up of the basic marketing materials and awareness-raising presentations at different related events. Therefore, the main activities of this phase were the following: • Setting up a common project visual identity, such as the BiocopacPlus logo, templates for documents and presentations. • Creating the project website, which describes the challenges and the goals of the project and introduces the project members. • Designing the project information materials (such as, brochures, notice boards, information panels), which can be distributed during the events and which can be showed at the entrance of each partner’s plant and institutions. • Giving introductory presentations at conferences and workshops about the challenges and goals of BiocopacPlus in order to raise awareness among the scientific and industry stakeholders and to establish the basic brand name of BiocopacPlus. 1.2.2 Promoting BiocopacPlus results For promoting the results, BiocopacPlus directs and will direct his dissemination activities to stakeholders in metal packaging and lacquerers manufacturing, in food industry and tomato farmers. Therefore, the main activities of this phase are the following: • Update of the project website with public news, in order to encourage active communication, to keep interested parties informed and to demonstrate project liveliness and progression. • Presentations of the research-oriented theoretical results of the BiocopacPlus project at national and international conferences • Publishing and dissemination of press releases following the finalization of important project milestones. Specialist press releases, at national and international level, will address to cans manufacturing, lacquers producers, food industries and plant engineering manufacturers. General press releases are intended to be circulated among "large-scale organised distribution (LOD), consumers association and specific group of interest as EPG (Ethical Purchasing Groups). 1.2.3 Exploitation The exploitation is specifically targeted at potential clients of BiocopacPlus. The activities of this phase include: • Participation at eco-packaging-oriented exhibitions, fairs and workshops, where the results of the project are presented to business stakeholders and contacts with potential commercial projects are established. • Inauguration of the pilot plant for cutin extraction, where in that occasion individualized demonstrations at interested stakeholders will be held. • Protecting the BiocopacPlus methodology and technology defined for the plant, in order to lay the foundation of potential commercial projects. 1.3 Roles and Responsibilities It was considered appropriate to not establish a formal dissemination working group (DSW), as provided in D.1.2. , given the continuous relations among partners and the geographical proximity. SSICA is coordinating all diffusion and exploitation activities, interacting with partners on the 4 LIFE+ 2013 communication strategy during the internal meetings. SSICA supported by all the partners, is responsible for developing the communication and dissemination plan. Any decision on dissemination derive mainly from SSICA who, once received the consensus’ partners, implements the action. 1.4 Audiences and Target groups The target group, considered in D.1.2. and listed below, are yet confirmed: • Food industry: The food industry is very diverse with large and small companies and important differences between sectors and countries. They are the main “end users” of scientific results, but they often lack time and money, are market oriented and more interested in the solutions than in the underlying methods and scientific approaches. Disseminating scientific results in the national language of food industries is considered an asset, especially in the case of SMEs. Thanks to the new technology developed in the pilot plant for cutin extraction, the preserve industry and large scale distribution services will have at their disposal an environmentally-friendly and safe packaging, which will be much appreciated by consumers and of considerable marketing appeal for large scale distribution. • Lacquers producers: In the lacquer industry the literature is scarce on the application of biocoatings in general and destined for contact with food products in particular. Only in the last years is growing interest in subject. Until now the coating industry has been heavily reliant on oil-based raw material; however efforts towards a more sustainable and green technology are evident, such as the study of polyesters based on isosorbide in powder coating application. Therefore the supply of a new raw material of natural origin as cutin, derived from waste and using renewable sources, can offer to lacquer producers a new opportunity to obtain a final natural bio-lacquer. • Packaging producers will be able to supply a more easily recyclable container, improving their competitiveness over other types of packages (e.g. bio-plastics packaging). Most importantly, the packaging manufacturers will be able to use a lacquer of natural origin and to supply an eco-innovative food metal packaging. At present, the metal packaging, albeit being much more eco-friendly than other types of packaging, is still perceived by consumers as old fashioned and having a high degree of non-freshness. The production of an innovative can is a great opportunity for the entire industry enabling to re-launch the metal packaging by making more cost-effective than other materials and thus to gain new market shares.

Fey's reputation as a feminist—indeed, as Hollywood's Token Feminist, as some journalists have wryly pointed out—heavily inflects the character she plays, the "bossy" Liz Lemon, whose idealistic feminism is a mainstay of her characterization and of the show's comedy. Fey's comedy has always focused on gender, beginning with her work on Saturday Night Live (SNL) where she became that show's first female head writer in 1999. A year later she moved from behind the scenes to appear in the "Weekend Update" sketches, attracting national attention as a gifted comic with a penchant for zeroing in on women's issues. Fey's connection to feminist politics escalated when she returned to SNL for guest appearances during the presidential campaign of 2008, first in a sketch protesting the sexist media treatment of Hillary Clinton, and more forcefully, in her stunning imitations of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, which launched Fey into national politics and prominence. [2] On 30 Rock, Liz Lemon is the head writer of an NBC comedy much likeSNL, and she is identified as a "third wave feminist" on the pilot episode.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • Lots of Words, Little Action
    Lots of Words, Little Action Will the private sector tip the scales for community land rights? Rights and Resources Initiative Annual Review 2013–2014 THE RIGHTS AND RESOURCES INITIATIVE RRI is a global coalition of 13 Partners and over 140 international, regional, and community organizations advancing forest tenure, policy, and market reforms. RRI leverages the strategic collaboration and investment of its Partners and Collaborators around the world by working together on research, advocacy and convening strategic actors to catalyze change on the ground. RRI is coordinated by the Rights and Resources Group, a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. For more information, please visit www.rightsandresources.org. PARTNERS SUPPORTERS SUPPORTERS The views presented here are not necessarily shared by the agencies that have generously supported this work. AT A GLANCE: RIGHTS AND RESOURCES 1 2013-2014 We had hoped to report good news, to trumpet the rising tide of support for community forest land rights around the world in 2013. But while there were many encouraging pronouncements last year—from courts, governments, and some of the world’s largest corporations —unfortunately, progress on the ground remains very limited. And worse, new research reveals a slowdown in the recognition of community forest land rights in developing countries over the last six years. Despite some high-profile wins, less new legislation has been passed since 2008 than in the preceding six years—and recent laws are weaker than before. None of these laws recognize land ownership, and the amount of forest land secured for community ownership since 2008 is less than 20 percent of that in the previous six years.

  • Jury Duty Is a Poll Tax: the Case for Severing the Link Between Voter Registration and Jury Service
    Jury Duty is a Poll Tax: The Case for Severing the Link Between Voter Registration and Jury Service ∗ ALEXANDER E. PRELLER Federal jury service has been formally connected to voter registration since 1968. Congress intended for this linkage to improve the American jury system by increasing representation of groups previously excluded from the jury pool. However, as legislative inaction and judicial acquiescence have exacerbated the economic costs of jury service, this practice has also para- sitically burdened the right to vote, creating a “self-disenfranchising incen- tive.” This Note argues that jury duty is sufficiently burdensome, and that this burden sufficiently impacts voting, so as to constitute a poll tax in vio- lation of the Twenty-Fourth Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. There is a simple, effective solution to this problem: prohibiting the use of voter registration lists to create jury lists, and instead using any number of available alternative sources to create a representative jury pool. I. INTRODUCTION People hate getting jury duty.1 Even those who enjoy serving on a jury report that they try to avoid it whenever possible.2 One ∗ Articles Editor, COLUM.J.L.&SOC.PROBS., 2012−13. J.D.

Answers to even-numbered items can be found at the back of the book. EXAMPLE When Tina Fey joined the writing team on Saturday Night Live, you may be surprised to know, ^ ^ she was the only woman on the team. 1. Tina Fey was born on May 18 1970 in Upper Darby Pennsylvania. 2. After years of training in comedy at Chicago’s Second City theater company, Fey was hired in 1997 as a writer for Saturday Night Live. 3. October 11 2006 was another important date in Fey’s life: the pilot on NBC for the situation comedy 30 Rock. 4. The characters and plot lines of 30 Rock as most of the show’s fans know grew out of Fey’s experiences at Saturday Night Live. 5. The title of the show of course is the nickname for the GE Building, home to NBC Studios in New York City. NBC’s complete address is 30 Rockefeller Plaza New York NY 10112. 6. Episodes of 30 Rock were shot however at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City New York, in the borough of Queens. 7. When Vanity Fair magazine asked Fey for her motto in May 2011, she answered “Stop reaching for the stars!” At the time, Fey had been writing, acting, producing, and caring for her first child. Her answer suggests that she was tired doesn’t it? 8. In a typical line on 30 Rock, Liz Lemon says “Check this out Jack.
