Grief is a universal emotion that has traditionally been expressed through formal gatherings and private emotions. Recently, digital bereavement through social media sites like Facebook has allowed grief to be expressed more publicly. This document describes an experiment that analyzed 12 Facebook profiles of deceased individuals. It collected data on posts made to the profiles before and after the individuals' deaths. Preliminary results found increases in emotion words, references to missing the individual, and use of past tense verbs after death. The implications are that social media allows ongoing bonds to form with the deceased.

Basin Electric Power Cooperative needed to increase its power generation capacity to meet growing demand. It installed a GE LMS100 gas turbine simple-cycle power plant at its Groton Generation Station in South Dakota. The LMS100 was well-suited as its 10-minute start time and efficiency allowed flexible power generation. Basin Electric was satisfied with the first LMS100 turbine and installed a second one. Both turbines use GE's Mark VIe Integrated Control System, which provides unified control of the turbines and other plant equipment from a single platform. This simplified design and operation while improving reliability, coordination, and maintenance.

Transmedia is a buzz word that’s been in use for a while now, and the idea behind it goes back many decades. But from Hollywood to Madison Avenue, we’re seeing more and more content creators adopting transmedia practices: creating stories, characters or themes that arc over various platforms, providing consumers with multiple entry points. For marketers, transmedia presents new opportunities for creatively engaging audiences—with the potential to enhance brand mythology and create more brand evangelists.
This report takes a look at why this trend is bubbling up right now, how it’s significant for marketers and where it’s going. It includes a half-dozen case studies, insights from transmedia experts, a guide to finding more information (from events to podcasts to books and video clips) and a timeline charting some milestones in transmedia’s evolution.

The End of TV as We Know It & The Birth of TransmediaOgilvy
Doug Scott, President, OgilvyEntertainment and Matt Doherty, Transmedia Architect, Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide presented The End of TV as We Know It & The Birth of Transmedia at the 21st Century Storytelling Conference: Content, Context and Conversations sponsored by Microsoft, Ogilvy & BrainJuicer on July 31, 2012 in Chicago.
Throughout history, we have told stories. Stories are what connect us across geographies, cultures and experiences; stories demonstrate that we share the same hope, dreams, fears, challenges and desires. Today's complex, digtally connected consumer universe makes brand storytelling more challenging, but also creates opportunities for brands to tell their stories in new ways.
Doug Scott and Matt Doherty discussed how the idea of TV might be a thing of the past, but the stories that drive our content will always be our constant. Our variable? Telling. Telling has evolved due to the primary role of digital in our lives and disruptive innovation which has given us the ability to craft transmedia experiences. Transmedia has brought about a new set of creative tools and narratives that are rooted in content, formed by context and crossed by all things culture. Are you a story? Or are you a teller?

“All you need to understand is everything you know is wrong.”—Weird Al
My mother told me cleaning toilets builds character if done repeatedly. The other night five friends spent more than three hours dying over and over again while playing World of Warcraft (WoW). She never said anything about dying. I found cleaning toilets only gets you clean toilets. Dying and playing, however, teaches you important things. Demons, dragons, dwarves, and possibly folklore, you could see, but learning, love, and leadership?
Sounds crazy, but it’s true: World of Warcraft has something to say about learning. Prepare yourself, because everything you thought you knew is wrong.

The document discusses the epidemic of Vibrio cholera, a bacteria that causes acute diarrheal disease
and leads to frequent global epidemics. While currently treated with antibiotics and rehydration, the
bacteria is developing resistance which requires new treatments to prevent further epidemics and
reduce unnecessary deaths. The true number of cholera cases is likely far higher than reported due to
poor data collection in many greatly affected areas.

In the experiment, volunteers are asked to share information about themselves within a 5 minute period, passing a mock "bomb" between each other, with the threat that anyone who does not get a chance to speak will "die". Repeating the experiment shows a lower mortality rate, demonstrating that daily stand-ups help teams synchronize, inspect and adapt their work.

It notes that Macbeth fits the definition of a tragic hero by having high social rank, a tragic flaw, suffering complete ruin and death, and facing his downfall with courage and dignity.

J. Robert Oppenheimer was a prominent American physicist who played a key role in the Manhattan Project that developed the first atomic bombs during World War II. He later expressed regret over his role in the project and warned about the dangers of nuclear proliferation. As director of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, he made significant contributions to theoretical physics and cosmology. However, his outspoken opposition to developing the hydrogen bomb led to his security clearance being revoked in a controversial hearing. He spent his later years advocating for international nuclear arms control and cooperation in advancing science.

Editor's Notes
universal emotion caused by major loss, handled in different ways
Traditionally
Funerals, memorial services, etc
Diaries
Recently
More segmented mobile society
Need: digital online space to bring people together across space & time, & for support
FB: memorialization feature
- looking at the nature of posting pre- and post-death postings
- hoping to be able to understand the motivation of FB wall posting
- hoping that the analysis of our results will give us clues as to why people continue posting on deceased users&#x2019; profiles
sudden deaths (self-inflicted vs accidental)
Cleaning (comments etc)
We did not include the chronic illness special case in our analysis, BUT we will talk about interesting findings in our results
LIWC provides a relatively simple and straightforward picture of how individuals are thinking as they write about deeply personal events.
Continuing Bond: ppl maintain a changed but continued relationship with the deceased
Uses & Gratifications: choosing to write on deceased users&#x2019; FB walls gratifies specific needs of the grievers
**Like cont bond theory predicts, there seems to be a &#x201C;continued&#x201D; relationship after death, but a changed one because there is more complexity and intimacy
Formality - more post (reverence?)
More periods & commas
Less exclamation points
Less swears
* Talk about the different/interesting results for chronic illness
Talk about what this means when we reference the theories&#x2026;
