    Online Video as a Tool for Planning Education and Engagement: A Content Analysis of U.S. City Planning Departments’ YouTube Channels Stephanie J. Velasco A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Urban Planning University of Washington 2016 Committee: Branden Born Christopher Campbell Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Urban Design and Planning © Copyright 2016 Stephanie J. Velasco University of Washington Abstract Online Video as a Tool for Planning Education and Engagement: A Content Analysis of U.S. City Planning Departments’ YouTube Channels Stephanie J. Velasco Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Branden Born Urban Design and Planning This study explores the potential for city planning departments to more deeply engage citizens in public planning processes by producing and sharing educational videos through such online platforms as YouTube. Many academic and professional fields have already recognized and adopted YouTube as a dynamic medium for education, however planning departments in the United States’ largest cities have yet to fully take advantage of this social media platform. This study uses content analysis to describe and categorize the digital video content published on seven city planning departments’ YouTube channels. In addition, this study illuminates relationships between video popularity—measured in number of views—and video length, production quality, production elements (e.g. voiceover, motion graphics or animation, background music, etc.), the degree of production effort (or cost) required on the part of the content creator, and the presence or absence of an explicit call to action.

    An Alternative Media Experience: LiveLeak* Fatih Çömlekçi1 and Serhat Güney2 1 Ministry of Culture, State Theater, Mete Cad. No: 26, Beyoğlu, 34420 Istanbul Turkey [email protected] 2 Galatasaray University, Faculty of Communication, Ciragan Cad. No: 36 Ortakoy 34357 Istanbul, Turkey [email protected] Abstract. This research examines a video sharing web site called LiveLeak to be able to analyze the possibilities of democratic and horizontal social mobilization via Internet technology. In this sense, we take into consideration the Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s philosophical conceptualization of “rhizome” which provides a new approach for activities of online communities. In the light of this concept and its anti-hierarchical approach we tried to discuss the potentials of network communication models such as LiveLeak in terms of emancipating use of media and democratic communication. By analyzing the contextual traffic on the LiveLeak for a randomly chosen one week (first week of December 2013) we argue that this video sharing web site shows a rhizomatic characteristic. Keywords: LiveLeak, Rhizome, Social Networking. 1 Introduction Rapid developments in communication technologies and its social reflections, which took place especially in the 20th century, have drawn the attention of social scientists. At one extreme, Frankfurt School and its followers advanced a pessimistic approach to new media targeting specifically manipulation and standardization of the message. On the other hand, an optimistic approach formulated by Marshall McLuhan attributes an emancipating and democratic meaning to new media. Apart from these orthodox Marxist criticism and technologically deterministic liberal aspects, writers such as Bertolt Brecht [1] and Walter Benjamin [2] set forth different approaches that regard the energy and socially transforming effect of the new media, emphasizing the socialist and emancipating mission of massification in the age of mechanical reproduction.

  • Challenges of 3D Printing to Repair
    2013] 1147 THE CHALLENGES OF 3D PRINTING TO THE REPAIR-RECONSTRUCTION DOCTRINE IN PATENT LAW Kelsey B. Wilbanks* INTRODUCTION Patent law is no stranger to technological innovation. Just recently, courts have handled the legal uproar over smartphones,1 new forms of bio- technology,2 and more.3 Three-dimensional (“3D”) printing has now emerged,4 and patent law will once again need to adapt. Three-dimensional printing is new technology that allows consumers to manufacture a seemingly endless variety of items in the comfort of their homes. Although innovators have recently used 3D printers to make re- markable creations like functional guns, it is becoming more common for average tinkerers to 3D print replacement parts for broken home objects. * George Mason University School of Law, J.D. Candidate, May 2014; Notes Editor, GEORGE MASON LAW REVIEW, 2013-2014; Missouri State University, B.S., Entertainment Management, De- cember 2010. This Comment received the George Mason Law Review’s 2013 Adrian S. Fisher Award for best student article, and it was featured as a condensed presentation at the “ConFABulation Sympo- sium on 3D Printing in the Classroom” in Largo, Maryland. I would like to first thank my husband Jason for his help in developing this topic. I would also like to thank the organizers of the ConFABula- tion Symposium, John Anderson and Jonathan Monaghan, and its participants for their helpful com- ments.

Imagine the biggest pile of dung you can take and then double-- no, triple that shit and you s t i l l h a v e n ’ t c o m e c l o s e t o o n e octingentillionth of a Hypersphere cornerstone. Hell, you probably don’t even know what the Hypersphere is, you goddamn fucking idiot kid. I bet you don’t know the first goddamn thing about the Hypersphere. If you were paying attention, you would have gathered that it’s a big fucking 3 place, but one thing I bet you didn’t know about the Hypersphere is that it is filled with fucked up freaks. There are normal people too, but they just aren’t as interesting as the freaks. Are you a freak, kid? Some sort of fucking Hypersphere psycho? What the fuck are you even doing here? Get the fuck out of my face you fucking deviant. So there I was, chilling out in the Hypersphere. I’d spent the vast majority of my life there, in fact. It did contain everything in my observable universe, so it was pretty hard to leave, honestly. At the time, I was stressing the fuck out about a fight I had gotten in earlier. I’d been shooting some hoops when some no-good shithouses had waltzed up to me and tried to make a scene.

    ABSTRACT You Should Have Expected Us – An Explanation of Anonymous Alex Gray Director: Linda Adams; PhD Anonymous is a decentralized activist collective that has evolved using the technology of the information age. This paper traces its origins as a way of contextualizing and better understanding its actions. The groups composition is examined using its self‐ascribed imagery to illustrate its’ unique culture and relational norms. Its structure and motivation are analyzed using the framework developed for social movements and terrorist networks. Finally a discussion of a splinter cell and official reaction delineate both strengths and weaknesses of the movement while suggesting its future development. The conclusion serves to expound on the ideal end for the online anonymous community as a new frontier in meritocratic activism.

    Virtual Online Communities: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions A dissertation presented to the faculty of the Scripps College of Communication of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy Adrian M. Budiman August 2008 This dissertation titled Virtual Communities Online: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions by ADRIAN M. BUDIMAN has been approved for the School of Media Arts and Studies and the Scripps College of Communication by Drew McDaniel Professor of Telecommunications Gregory J. Shepherd Dean, Scripps College of Communication ii Abstract BUDIMAN, ADRIAN M., Ph.D., August 2008, Mass Communication Virtual Online Communities: A Study of Internet Based Community Interactions (167 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Drew McDaniel The aim of this research was to better understand virtual online communities (VOCs), that is, communities that are formed and maintained through the Internet. This research was guided by four research questions: What do participants in VOCs actually seek? How does a participant critically evaluate information produced in VOCs? What differences do VOC members perceive between their online community experiences compared to their experiences in real-life face-to-face communities? In what ways might a VOC shape its members’ views toward political and social change? The methodology employed was participant observation of 20 informants within their online and offline realms plus in-depth interviews with each informant. Interviews and observations were conducted from 2005 – 2007. This research identified two different types of VOCs: dependent and self- contained VOCs. Dependent VOCs act as extensions to already existent face-to-face communities while self-sustained VOCs are communities where relationships between members are formed, developed, and nurtured purely through virtual encounters on the Internet based on shared interests.

  • Australia 2019
    Australia Free 77 100 A Obstacles to Access 23 25 B Limits on Content 29 35 C Violations of User Rights 25 40 Last Year's Score & Status 79 100 Free Overview Internet freedom in Australia declined during the coverage period. The country’s information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure is well developed, and prices for connections are low, ensuring that much of the population enjoys access to the internet. However, a number of website restrictions, such as those related to online piracy or “abhorrent” content, limit the content available to users. The March 2019 terrorist attack on mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, prompted internet service providers (ISPs) to block certain websites and the government subsequently introduced a new law that criminalized the failure to delete “abhorrent” content. Other legal changes—including court decisions expanding the country’s punitive defamation standards, an injunction silencing digital media coverage of a high-profile trial, and a problematic law that undermines encryption—shrunk the space for free online expression in Australia. Finally, an escalating series of cyberattacks sponsored by China profoundly challenged the security of Australia’s digital sphere. Australia is a democracy with a strong record of advancing and protecting political rights and civil liberties. Recent challenges to these freedoms have included the threat of foreign political influence, harsh policies toward asylum seekers, and ongoing disparities faced by indigenous Australians. Key Developments June 1, 2018 – May 31, 2019 After the March 2019 Christchurch attack, in which an Australian man who had espoused white supremacist views allegedly killed 51 people at two New Zealand mosques, ISPs acted independently to block access to more than 40 websites that hosted the attacker’s live-streamed video of his crimes.
