With the rise of web 2.0 and social media platforms taking over vast tracts of territory on the internet, the media landscape has shifted drastically in the past 20 years, transforming previously stable relationships between media creators and consumers. The Social Media Reader is the first collection to address the collective transformation with pieces on social media, peer production, copyright politics, and other aspects of contemporary internet culture from all the major thinkers in the field.
Culling a broad range and incorporating different styles of scholarship from foundational pieces and published articles to unpublished pieces, journalistic accounts, personal narratives from blogs, and whitepapers, The Social Media Reader promises to be an essential text, with contributions from Lawrence Lessig, Henry Jenkins, Clay Shirky, Tim O’Reilly, Chris Anderson, Yochai Benkler, danah boyd, and Fred von Loehmann, to name a few. It covers a wide-ranging topical terrain, much like the internet itself, with particular emphasis on collaboration and sharing, the politics of social media and social networking, Free Culture and copyright politics, and labor and ownership. Theorizing new models of collaboration, identity, commerce, copyright, ownership, and labor, these essays outline possibilities for cultural democracy that arise when the formerly passive audience becomes active cultural creators, while warning of the dystopian potential of new forms of surveillance and control.

Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.
The document discusses the fundamentals and difficulties of baking. It explores baking techniques from preparing pans and reading recipes to finishing and storing baked goods. Different types of baked goods are examined like cakes, cookies, pastries, and decorating techniques. As baked items become more complex, bakers must overcome complications to succeed in producing the final product.
Cupcakes have grown tremendously in popularity in recent years. They originated from leftover cake batter being baked in small portions for efficiency. The term "cupcake" arose from recipes specifying ingredients by the cup measurement unit. Though they have been around for centuries, the modern cupcake craze started in the 1990s when Magnolia Bakery in New York was featured on Sex and the City. Cupcakes appeal to many as they are nostalgic, portable single-serving treats that are cheaper than coffee and allow for indulgence in moderation. Their small size and mini aspect fits with societal preferences for items to go. Now cupcake bakeries, bars and wedding towers of cupcakes show just how popular

The document summarizes the history of cupcakes. It states that cupcakes originated in the 19th century United States as a way to save time in the kitchen compared to full cakes. The name is thought to come from either the cups they were originally baked in or the cup measurements used in recipes. Cupcakes were also once known as number cakes due to their recipes listing ingredients by the cup. Today, cupcakes come in many flavors, shapes, and decorations and have become a popular pop culture trend with bakeries and media dedicated to them.
Cookies originated in the Netherlands in the 1400s when the Dutch would test their oven temperatures using small pieces of cake batter called "koekje", which means "little cake". These early cookies were made without sugar. By the late 1400s, cookies were growing in popularity and could be bought in the streets of Paris. Dutch, English, and Scottish immigrants brought cookies to America in the 1600s. The first chocolate chip cookie was created by accident in 1937 by Ruth Wakefield when she substituted chocolate for nuts in her recipe. This became the famous Toll House cookie.

This document discusses various creative ways to add value and meaning using a single loaf of bread as a starting point. It proposes ideas like making personalized bread art, collaborating with charities, teaching bread making skills, and using bread to start social or political movements focused on issues like hunger, diversity, and social justice. Unconventional uses like keeping bread fresh longer or breaking it down to chemical elements are also mentioned. The goal is to maximize value and impact from a simple loaf of bread through reframing how it is viewed and utilized.

Cupcakes are small cakes designed to serve one person. They typically contain ingredients like flour, milk, butter, eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and sugar. Cupcakes are judged based on criteria such as frosting thickness and flavor, the frosting to cake ratio, cake density and flavor, appearance and design. The origins of cupcakes are debated but they may have gotten their name because ingredients were measured in cups rather than weighed, or because they were baked in small containers like tea cups. Popular cupcake spots in San Francisco include Cako Bakery, Kara's Cupcakes, and CupKate's Cupcake Truck.
The document discusses the history and traditions of wedding cakes. It traces the origins of wedding cakes back to ancient Roman traditions of breaking bread at weddings. Throughout history, wedding cakes have become more elaborate, often including symbolic traditions like hiding rings inside for unmarried guests to find. Modern cakes may feature intricate decorations in styles like fondant or gum paste flowers. Toppers of the bride and groom were a 19th century innovation to symbolize the couple. Today, wedding cakes remain an important tradition and artistic expression at weddings.
Cookies originated in Persia in the 7th century AD and spread throughout Europe in the Middle Ages. They were first brought to America by English, Dutch, and Scottish immigrants and became popularized through early American cookbooks. There are hundreds of cookie varieties that developed based on geographic and cultural influences. Cookies undergo chemical reactions when baked such as proteins unfolding and sugars caramelizing to develop texture, color, and flavor. While cookies can increase calorie, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels if eaten in excess, using healthy oils and ingredients can minimize negative health effects.
Cupcakes were invented in the late 1800s when people would scoop cake batter into cups to measure portions for baking. The term "cupcake" first appeared in an 1828 cookbook where cakes were baked in small pottery cups. Cupcakes became popular because they were individually portioned and decorated cakes. The document provides instructions for making cupcakes using a boxed cake mix along with tips for decorating with icing, sprinkles or drawings. Cupcakes are described as being perfect for any occasion from holidays to birthdays.
Cake has a long history dating back to the 1200s in Europe where bakers would mix fruits and bread to make early "cakes" that could last for months without refrigeration. By the 17th century, advances allowed for cakes with icing using sugar and egg whites. Originally, cake and bread recipes were similar, but cake included sweeteners. Over time, as ingredients became more available and affordable, cake became less of a luxury and more widely enjoyed. Modern cake recipes benefit from this long evolution and are now easily accessible globally.
The document argues that Notre Dame should not sell chocolate products made by companies like Hershey's and Nestle because they use cocoa harvested by child slaves in West Africa. It notes that over 200,000 children, some as young as 9, are sold into slavery and work long hours with little to no pay and physical abuse on cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast that produce half the world's cocoa. The document urges people to buy fair trade certified cocoa instead, which guarantees farmers a fair price and uses the extra income to help local communities.

2. Thesis
• My interest in baking led me to researching some history
of baking, what it used to be like, and what its like today,
how baking can be used to teach, and the creativity you
can express through baking. I also wanted to use my love
for baking to help someone else out in some way, and also
show kids how baking is a fun way to learn important
skills and express their creativity which led me to making
baked goods to donate to the Upper Merion Senior
Center’s Spring Flea Market, and baking with the Little
Vikings here at the high school.

I have been baking since I was little, I have always enjoyed helping out in the kitchen. Baking was an outlet for me and was a fun way for me to relieve stress and express my creativity. My main interest was making birthday cakes so whenever one of my siblings, cousins, parents, friends or kids I baby-sit for had a birthday I would be making there cake. I would ask them what there favorite thing, or sport was and design a cake from there answers. I also loved baking because of the holidays, I make cakes, cookies, or cupcakes for every holiday, from Valentines Day through Christmas. And the main reason why I love to bake is because I can use the cookies and cakes I bake to make other people happy, and put a smile on their face. \n

Stone ovens were used in early life baking, and as time went on brick ovens were used, and they were built next to the fireplaces in the house\n\nAlso in early life baking they used earthen pots and pans, which were pots and pans made out of clay, and as time went on china was used, and then pewter plates and dishes\n\nIn early American life sugar and spices had to be imported, but other ingredients that were used were wild berries, water, strawberries, plums, raspberries, and herbs, and they could be found in the wild(or found in nature) \n
Common ingredients first used in baking were oats, which were made to make oat cakes. After that common ingredients in early life baking were fruit, sugar, spices, eggs, shortening, and flour. And early cakes were made from many eggs, brandy, or wine. Sometimes salt was used too, and it was either imported, or it was used in an evaporated state from the sea rocks.\n
Currently baking recipes that we use today, include flour, some type of sugar(powdered, white, or brown), baking soda or baking powder, salt and eggs. Sugar sweetens, eggs bind, flour give it its texture and consistency, salt give flavor, and baking soda or baking powder rise baked goods while they are baking.\n
The picture on the right came out in 1911 in the sears, Roebuck catalogue, and it was considered the &#x201C;hottest&#x201D; thing in cookware. It is a picture of a coal burner, made of cast iron, and it had a warming plate on top, and it was commonly used to heat or boil water. The picture on the left came out in the 1924 Sears catalogue, and it is a porcelain gas range. The porcelain gas range was considered an improvement from the previous forms of stoves, and it could keep a kitchen cleaner and cooler than the other ones. After these the &#x201C;counters that cook&#x201D; came out, which were counter stove tops. \n
\n
There are two different theories to explain how cupcakes were started, and there is not a clear answer as to which one is correct. The one theory is: the First known recipe which used the term, &#x201C;cupcake&#x201D;, appeared in an American cookbook in 1826. The cup in cupcake stands for the quantity of ingredients used in it, it was just a downsized english pound cake. \nThe other theory is from Lynne Oliver, of the Food Timeline website. She says that she found a recipe from 1796 where they were actually baked in cups, so it is hard to say exactly when cupcakes came to be.\n
\n
- The most primitive began making cakes shortly after they discovered flour\n- due to utensils and directions being perfected in baking, cake making isn&#x2019;t a complicated process anymore\n- Cake is made of the basic ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs, seasonings, some other liquid(oil, water etc.), and shortening\n- Early method of cake making was to add other ingredients to a portion of bread dough\n- Most cakes today rise with either baking soda, or baking powder, but sometimes beaten eggs\n\n
Medieval England - \n\nIn medieval England the cakes that were described in writings were not cakes that we make today, instead they were flour based sweet foods, as opposed to the description of bread, which is flour based un-sweetened food. There breads and cakes were very similar, and what they called cakes were just like smaller breads. The earliest examples were found among the remains of Neolithic villages where archaeologists found simple cakes that were made up of crushed grains, that were moistened, compacted and cooked on a hot stone. Today we have a modern version of that simple cake, which would be an oatcake, or biscuit. \n\nGreeks - the greeks called cakes plakous, from the word flat. There cakes were usually a combination of honey and nuts. The greeks also had a flat and heavy cake, which they called satura.\n\nRoman Period - name for cake was Placenta\n(Placenta was like a cheesecake)\nRomans - The romans called cake libum, and cakes were used as an offering to the gods\n\nTerms bread and cake became interchangeable, and they derive from Anglo Saxon Origin, and it is believed that cake was used to describe smaller breads\n\n\n
Cakes were mainly made for special occasions because the ingredients to make cakes were so expensive. So because of this the wealthier you were the more cake you would be able to eat on a frequent basis\n
Early American cooks on the east coast considered cakes a symbol of well being, and each part of the country had their favorite. By the 19th century, because of the Industrial Revolution, baking ingredients were more affordable, and available because of both mass production, and the railroads. Also leavening agents we use today were invented, both baking soda and baking powder. \n
By the middle of the 18th century yeast wasn&#x2019;t really being used anymore, because people started to favor beaten eggs as a raising agent in cakes. Once the cake mixture had as much air beaten in as possible it would be poured in to molds as simple as two tin hoops, or cake hoops, which were set on top of a cookie sheet or parchment paper. Our cake pans we know today evolved from these cake hoops.\n
\n
Early English Settlers brought their love of pie with them. They made meat, game, fowl, fruit, and berry pies, and a variety of pastries. They also brought cream and custard pies, but they were listed in English cookbooks as pudding rather than pies. In the early nineteenth century in America pies were common breakfast dishes, and men of rural families got up early and did at least an hour of outside chores before breakfast, so that there was enough time to bake the pies. If winters were really cold than pies were made in large quantities and put out to freeze. The varieties of pies were limited to whatever supplies families had, but dried fruit was always available to the thrifty housekeeper. \n\n
Apple Pie - Apple PIe is very common in America however it actually originated in England around the late 1300&#x2019;s. The apple pies back then were very different because most didn&#x2019;t have sugar since it was scarce and expensive, and the crusts(pastry), or coffins as they called them weren&#x2019;t meant to be eaten, they were just meant as a container. Many old AMerican cookbooks didn&#x2019;t even have apple pie recipes because it was taken for granted that every american housewife had her own favorite version, or recipe. \n\nCherry Pies - &#x201C;Pie Cherry&#x201D; trees did well in cold or moderately warm climates, and they developed fruit quickly, so they were commonly grown in backyards, and the fruit was used for cherry pies, or canned and used as a tart jam\n\nRhubard Pie - rhubard was one of the first fresh garden products of the season in cold climates, and was such a favorite for pie making that in many old cookbooks rhubarb pie was called, the pie plant pie. It was assumed that homemakers knew how to make this pie so there weren&#x2019;t many recipes in old cookbooks, but were found in diaries of early american life. \n\nPumpkin or squash pie - In the eighteenth century this pie was called a pudding because it was a one-crust pie. Yankees(northerners) preferred this pie made with pumpkin, however southerners preferred it made with sweet potatoes. Spices were not included in this pie until clipper ships made them a more common commodity. And for the sweetening in this pie, sorghum or molasses were used until white and brown sugar took over\n\nBlack bottom Pie - recipes for this pie began appearing at the turn of the century, and it was a common party dessert\n\nGravel Pie - this was a recipe that was spread throughout the country by the Pennsylvania dutch, and is typically eaten in pennsylvania dutch homes as a coffee cake\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Pies of the Romans - pies of the romans were made for occasions like banquets in the days of the empire, and were elaborate almost like showpieces.\n\nPies in England -\n14th Century - In the 14th century in England common pies were meat and fish pies.\n16th Century - fruit pies(called tarts by the english) were common in the 16th century\n\nPuritans - Mince pie was an important part of the christmas festivities, however some puritans called it &#x201C;superstitious&#x201D; pie, because they were in protest of what seemed to them to be a pagan manner of celebrating a holy feast. \n\nEnglish Settlers - English settlers in North America kept there taste and love for pie, and adapted it to their new conditions on their new land by making pumpkin and cranberry pies.\n

Cookies were originally called, little cakes, and made with sweet dough in single sized servings, and were eaten out of hand. The word cookie comes from the dutch word, keokje, which means little cake. And the Dutch were the first to popularize cookies in the United States.\n\nIn the 19th century the british took a liking to these cookies and incorporated them into their daily tea service, and called them biscuits. \n\n\n\n

Sometime in the 1930&#x2019;s an innkeeper in Massachusetts, Ruth Wakefield, ran out of nuts while she was making cookies, and substituted baking chocolate, by breaking it into chunks,and adding it into the cookie batter, and the Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie was born. The cookie was named the Toll House Cookie after the Inn Ruth served it in. \n
Cookies are consumed in 95.2 percent of U.S. households. Americans alone consume over 2 billion cookies a year, or 300 cookies for each person annually.\n\n

Buddy Valastro on the Cake Boss has shown the viewers that a simple thing like putting fondant on your cake could make it look like a professional cake, and Ace of Cakes was the first show in a while to really show people how cakes can be made into just about anything. Duff Goldman, on Ace of Cakes has made cakes that look like cars, the beach, dogs, castles, just about anything.

Baking can be a great tool to use to teach kids all kinds of skills. They learn math skills from measuring ingredients, counting how many eggs they have cracked, and filling the pan with the batter half way. \nBaking can also teach kids organization and planning skills because they can look at the recipe before and figure out what they need, and how much of it they need, how many bowls and utensils they need to get out, and who is going to do what job.\nAnd baking also teaches patience because they have to wait for the cookies to finish baking, or the cookie dough to finish cooling\n \n
Baking teaches responsibility to kids because they are given tasks or jobs to do, so they learn that they have to finish what they were asked to do, and they have to clean up afterwards\nAlso baking can teach kids how to follow directions, since they need to follow a recipe, and they have to know which step is next\n\n
When it comes to baking, you of course first bake your cakes, or cupcakes, or whatever, but when It comes to decorating what you have baked you really have to be creative. There are so many holidays and birthdays that occur throughout the year, which are great opportunities to express your creativity through baking, and make something that looks and tastes great! Bakers can even be referred to as a &#x201C;culinary artist&#x201D;, which is because baking is an art form. Through the process of baking, decorating, and serving a cake your personal creativity is expressed. Before you decorate a cake, or cupcakes, you have to decide on a flavor, and then you have to figure out once it is baked how you are going to decorate it. You either come up with a design in your head, or you draw it out. Then when you actually decorate it you decide how you carve the cake, what colors you are going to mix, and use, and any extra piping or candy details you are going to put on it. And lastly you also add your creative touch when you decide how to display/serve your cake. And when decorating and baking a cake you can make it very simple or very complex, depending on what direction you want to go with the cake. \nhttp://www.anytimesweets.com/gallery.php,http://www.frostingsbyjudy.com/cakes-boys/single-gallery/2135650,http://cbailey.co.uk/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=185,http://www.urban-vibe.ca/food/car-cake/,http://www.flickr.com/photos/takesthecakeperth/page5/,http://66.240.36.3:81/cgi/block.cgi?URL=http://chefmommy-brandao.blogspot.com/2010/04/butterfly-cupcakes.html&IP=192.168.1.2&CAT=WEBLOG&USER=115760,http://66.240.36.3:81/cgi/block.cgi?URL=http://loveanddestroy.deviantart.com/art/Pokeball-cake-88988086&IP=192.168.1.2&CAT=EXART&USER=115760, http://www.ratemycakes.com/cakes.php?id=1331900421,http://www.flickr.com/photos/charleyscakes/4816863761/,http://www.cakeadelic.co.uk/2009/06/06/cake-details/birthday/ballet-shoes-birthday-cake/,http://www.flickr.com/photos/31085139@N08/3111744604/,http://66.240.36.3:81/cgi/block.cgi?URL=http://www.google.com/imgres?q=guitar+cake&um=1&hl=en&safe=active&sa=N&tbm=isch&tbnid=RG9OmaMhSevhPM:&imgrefurl=http://blog.pinkcakebox.com/grooms-guitar-cake-3-2008-07-19.htm&ei=QOecTdbcIMeCgAfK67GeBw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=438&oei=QOecTdbcIMeCgAfK67GeBw&page=1&tbnh=100&tbnw=164&start=0&ndsp=19&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0&tx=94&ty=55&biw=1183&bih=617&IP=192.168.1.2&CAT=WEBLOG&USER=115760,http://www.flickr.com/photos/60325207@N06/page2/,http://www.miamispecialtycakes.com/Cake-Samples.html,http://www.flickr.com/photos/wickedcakesaustin/3390503666/,http://www.chefsuccess.com/f7/belle-cake-please-help-64565/,http://www.flickr.com/photos/carmonmiddleton/3909207047/,http://groomsadvice.com/2010/01/28/10colts-and-saints-grooms-cakes/\n
Betty Crocker has been associated and a symbol of General Mills&#x2019; since 1921. Betty was actually not a real person, but Betty has been identified with helpfulness, trustworthiness, and quality. Betty was created when The Washburn Crosby Company, which was a forerunner of General Mills, received thousands of questions about baking, so &#x201C;Betty Crocker&#x201D; was created as a signature on every response, to the questions. Crocker was chosen to honor a popular employee of the company, who had recently retired, William G. Crocker. And Betty was just chosen as a friendly name. In 1924 the company launched a radio show, &#x201C;The Betty Crocker Cooking School of the Air.&#x201D; In the 1920&#x2019;s it was time for Betty Crocker to have an identity so there was a drawing done of her, and ever since then her portrait has been updated seven times.\n
Baking helps relieve my stress, because it helps me forget about school, my job, and any other worries, and it lets me focusing on something fun and creative.\n
The wedding cakes that we are familiar with are multi tiered, iced, and multi flavored and decorated cakes. These wedding cakes are improved versions of the 1800s single tiered plum cakes, because baking technology had improved. \n

In the roman empire the &#x201C;wedding cake&#x201D; was actually not a cake, but instead was a loaf of unsweetened wheat bread. The loaf of bread would be broken over the brides head by the groom to symbolize happiness, fertility, and prosperity for the bride and groom as a couple. After the loaf of bread was broken over the brides head the wedding guests would race to grab up the crumbs for good luck. \n
The guests would bring small sweet breads, or various pastries to the wedding, and stack them up and they would serve as the wedding cake, and this pile of pastries symbolized prosperity. Then the bride and groom would kiss over this pile so that they would have good luck for their marriage together.\n
Baking with your family, can help your family bond, and siblings bond. And it is also a great idea for a family tradition, like baking Christmas tree cookies every year right before christmas, or making heart shaped rice crispy treats for Valentines Day every year. ALso baking with your family can teach everyone responsibility, the importance of team work, and patience. When I was growing up we did a lot of baking together around holidays. And we would all help to make a birthday cake for anyone in my family who&#x2019;s birthday was coming up. We all loved decorating cupcakes, and baking cookies together, and me and my siblings were happy to be able to express our creativity by deciding how to decorate what we had baked.\n
This quote relates to me and this project because I love to bake, and I love to help people, so the perfect solution for me is to mesh those things together, to use my baking to help others out, which is what I did in my application.\n

I worked with the Little Vikings, who come to the high school, on baking, and decorating baked goods. I talked with them about measurements, ingredients, the actual baking of baked goods in the oven, and ways we can decorate baked goods. They all had a chance to make icing, and color the icing, and use it to decorate cupcakes. The also rolled out cookie dough, and made cut out cookies, and decorated them. \n
\n
At home I made various recipes from different time periods. I made different pies, cookies, cupcakes, and Cakes. I worked with various ingredients, and tried some new techniques, and I also got to use my creativity to decorate, and serve them.\n
Everyone has the name of someone else in the class on their desk. In a minute you will be decorating a cupcake for them, with the icing, and decorations I have brought. You will have about five minutes to decorate your cupcake, and then everyone will deliver the cupcake they decorated to the name of the person on your desk. \n
\n
\n
In conclusion, through this project I have learned the history behind many popular baked goods, and baking ingredients. I have also learned that baking can be used to teach, and help others, and that if you are ever feeling stressed or you need a creative outlet, baking is a great choice!\n
