A DAY with DOUBT by Laura Donney OCTOBER 2016 A DAY WITH DOUBT by Laura Donney I know what you’re thinking—“What’s Doubt, and should I love it?” “Does it matter what a day in the life of a writers’ PA looks like?” All very reasonable questions. Doubt is a brand new show (happy first season to us!) created and show run by Joan Rater and Tony Phelan (Grey’s Anatomy). It follows the legal defense team at Isaiah Roth and Associates as they represent the underdogs, the downtrodden, and of course, criminals. Here’s the catch: top lawyer Sadie Ellis (played by Katherine Heigl) starts to fall for her charismatic client Billy Brennan (Steven Pasquale), who may or may not be guilty of a brutal crime. Yes, you should love it! Photo: Cliff Lipson/CBS ©2016 CBS Broadcasting, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Lipson/CBS ©2016 CBS Broadcasting, Inc.

This means a lot of lights get turned on, a dishwasher gets emptied, call sheets and white boards are updated, and lots of doors get unlocked. I always open up our Showrunners’ offices first because they’re usually first to arrive. Tony is often here before me, which makes me feel like I’m slacking but I swear I’m not. 8:00 a.m.: Time to grocery shop!

  • What Can Engineers Learn from the Humanities?
    What can engineers learn from the Humanities? John Naughton 5 May 2015 Introduction Everywhere one looks these days, the Humanities seem to be on the defensive. On both sides of the Atlantic and further afield there is a crisis of morale in humanities departments. Like the citizens of Czechoslovakia under Soviet rule, Humanities scholars console themselves with bitter, resigned humour, mocking the absurdities of their philistinic overlords. Here, for example, is Terry Eagle- ton, who has held chairs in English in an number of elite universities, reflecting on an encounter he had when being shown round a thoroughly modern Korean university by its thoroughly modern President: “As befitted so eminent a personage, he was flanked by twoburly young minders in black suits and shades, who for all I knew were car- rying Kalashnikovs under their jackets. Having waxed lyrical about his gleaming new business school and state-of-the-art institute for management studies, the president paused to permit me a few words of fulsome praise. I remarked instead that there seemed to be no crit- ical studies of any kind on his campus. He looked at me bemusedly, as though I had asked him how many Ph.D.’s in pole dancing they awarded each year, and replied rather stiffly ‘Your comment will be noted.’ He then took a small piece of cutting-edge technology out of his pocket, flicked it open and spoke a few curt words of Korean into it, probably ‘Kill him.’ A limousine the length of a cricket pitch then arrived, into which the president was bundled by his minders and swept away.

The report analyzes the current digital environment and the power One thing is clear from the entire report: there can no longer be any struggles that various industry players are waging with respect to the issues doubt that a handful of giants dominate the globalized environment. summarized in the following graph: Large corporations like Google, Facebook and Amazon control at once the technological infrastructure, user attention and content discoverability. These major players possess enormous material and financial resources to compete against the traditional media players. Although certain corporations in Asia such as Tencent, Wanda and Alibaba have today become serious competitors, their respective global market shares still remain far from those of the American giants.

    CONTACT: Matt Levinson / Barbara Goldberg O’Connell & Goldberg (954) 964-9098 [email protected] [email protected] FAYR FACT SHEET What is Fayr? • Fayr is a mobile application that streamlines key aspects of family management for divorced parents raising children together. • Fayr functions as a homonym/synonym for “fair.” • Fayr and its founder Michael Daniels, were showcased on Apple Music’s new reality series “Planet of the Apps” on the episode airing July 25, 2017. • During the episode Fayr and Daniels landed the endorsement of one of the show’s advisor- mentors, Gwyneth Paltrow, who is now assisting Daniels in the global launch of the app. • Fayr offers busy co-parents a simple way to manage day-to-day life, including a shared calendar, real-time geo-locators, secure in-app messaging, expense logs and downloadable PDF reports of all app activity. • Fayr has been recognized by family law experts who say the app can significantly lower the emotional and financial burdens of separation and divorce on families. • Fayr’s transparent, real-time audit logs and geo-location functions help parents communicate constructively — preemptively mitigating misunderstandings that would formerly escalate to the courtroom. • Fayr is simple to use and affordable -- available on iOS with a monthly subscription of $4.99. Fayr will be available for Android at the end of 2017. • Fayr is headquartered in Weston, Fla., with a national marketing team and international development team in place. • Daniels conceptualized the app to free himself of burdensome legal busy-work and the costs and anxiety that accompanied it — so he could turn his attention to what matters most, his two young children.

  • Feral Ecologies: a Foray Into the Worlds of Animals and Media Sara
    Feral Ecologies: A Foray into the Worlds of Animals and Media Sara A. Swain A Dissertation Submitted to The Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Communication and Culture York University Toronto, ON September 2016 Sara Swain 2016 ii Abstract This dissertation wonders what non-human animals can illuminate about media in the visible contact zones where they meet. It treats these zones as rich field sites from which to excavate neglected material-discursive-semiotic relationships between animals and media. What these encounters demonstrate is that animals are historically and theoretically implicated in the imagination and materialization of media and their attendant processes of communication. Chapter 1 addresses how animals have been excluded from the cultural production of knowledge as a result of an anthropocentric perspective that renders them invisible or reduces them to ciphers for human meanings. It combines ethology and cinematic realism to craft a reparative, non-anthropocentric way of looking that is able to accommodate the plenitude of animals and their traces, and grant them the ontological heft required to exert productive traction in the visual field. Chapter 2 identifies an octopus’s encounter with a digital camera and its chance cinematic inscription as part of a larger phenomenon of “accidental animal videos.” Because non-humans are the catalysts for their production, these videos offer welcome realist counterpoints to traditional wildlife imagery, and affirm cinema’s ability to intercede non-anthropocentrically between humans and the world. Realism is essential to cinematic communication, and that realism is ultimately an achievement of non- human intervention.

Future opportunities PLANET OF THE APPS How messaging apps conquered the world 2 Context PLANET OF THE APPS How messaging apps conquered the world 3 Vancouver, February, 2016. Joe Gebbia, cofounder of Airbnb is on stage at TED 2016. Nervous laughs can be heard throughout the auditorium. Seconds earlier Gebbia had asked the audience to unlock their smartphones and hand them to the person closest to them. He was trying to make a point. When we’re given the responsibility of handling someone else’s private device, or in the case of Airbnb, their home, we feel obligated to take good care of it. This is how Gebbia explained Airbnb’s model for trust. Over the centuries our most private spaces have evolved; from castle keep to smartphone. This anecdote illustrates how mobile phones have become the ultimate receptacle for private information. It’s not just personal, it’s Hyperpersonal. Javier G. Recuenco, CSO & Founder of Singular Solving, describes hyperpersonal spaces as those which involve a number of characteristics, including: Brands can communicate with users in ways they cannot face to face, based on user profiling - they have access to information on interests, traffic history, app usage...etc.

The marketplaces provide begun to combine information extracted from an app’s source ample space for developers to upload this information, but as code and marketplace webpage to identify correlated variables we have learned, the structure for documentation is loose and and validate an app’s quality properties such as its intended behavior, trust or suspiciousness. Such work typically involves its use open to choice and style [22], [23]. For instance, a analysis of one or two artifacts such as the GUI text, user ratings, developer can write a complete natural language description app description keywords, permission requests, and sensitive API of their app, or they can provide screenshots or videos – or calls. However, these studies make assumptions about how the use a mixture [24]. They might instead, rely on the crowd and various artifacts are populated and used by developers, which provide only a brief description, expecting users to comment may lead to a gap in the resulting analysis. In this paper, we take a step back and perform an in-depth study of 14 popular on the other behavior within their reviews [25]–[27]. Some apps from the Google Play Store.
