UnNews:FDA “Mandate” actually ruse of big tobacco

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Jump to: navigation, search

13 November 2010

this is your baby on smoking

WINSTON-SALEM-CAMEL-LIGHTS, North Carolina -- The recent FDA decision to require cigarette packaging to include horrific images is secretly backed by Big Tobacco. In a generation reared on video games, violent movies, garbage pail stickers and CNN, big tobacco has high hopes for the collectibility of these packages by teens and non smokers alike. Kitten Huffing, is reportedly one of the packages series.

We feel in the current collectibles market, there is room for something new ” -Comic Book Store patron (analyst for geekcards.com)

Public Access TV Producer, Big Tobacco, feels using images that are "for real" will speak to the youth of america that simple words can only succumb to stereotype.

These images are like my gold teeth, they're part of my experience. These kids need to know what its like for Big Tobacco out on the streets. If more people start buying these art packs, I feel our message can be brought to digital subchannels of independent broadcast channels". - Big Tobacco

Lungs rights advocates quickly jumped on the horrific image bandwagon, thinking they would deter smoking. They failed to realize, big tobacco has long looked for a secondary reason for people to buy cigarettes. Prison Money is the only current growth in that vein, and it is under serious competition from other defacto units of trade. As the appeal of the horrific images of death, and cancer grow, the companies may include even more non smoking related outcomes as well, on a purely voluntary basis.

Some collectors may be induced to start smoking, since they are buying the packs anyway. However analysts compare the market for gum based collectibles, without the gum. It is conceivable that big tobacco can cut costs, by trimming back the amount of tobacco in the packs, and increasing the number of cards.

Lung lobby advocates are livid. They feel duped, but have accepted a small victory in that the increased sales, may not actually increase teen smoking. This is untried, as of yet.

Smokey the Bear is featured in one image, ripping the lungs out of a smoking camper. He was not happy with the reverse appeal of the image. “Had I known how people would have reacted to that image, I would have chosen one of my gay wedding night” Smokey was heard saying.

There’s a Guy in Claremore Who Does THIS with Napkins. Amazing.

braumsWe received an email recently here at moreClaremore that was pretty interesting. It turns out that there’s a guy right here in town named Bill Meade.

He’s been around for a while, and he draws portraits of random people he sees.

Mr. Meade has been doing this for more than 20 years. Usually, his subjects are spotted at a restaurant, and a napkin makes a handy canvas.

Sandi, the woman who emailed us, attached a drawing of her that Mr. Meade drew in 1994.

prestonIt turns out that even moreClaremore’s Travis has a Meade original, of his son and nephews, also from Braum’s. It seems that Mr. Meade likes ice cream.

If you have a drawing by this Claremore artist, won’t you please share? Also, we’d love to meet him!

Hi my name is Sarah and I’m a part time blogger.

Not something alot of people GET. I’ve never had any problems believing in myself. Ever since I left university I most definitely have backed myself but there is something about introducing yourself as a blogger that gets me feeling insecure. It’s how people react with those empty eyes or my personal fave when people look at you like you’re about to steal their money. It makes me feel like I am an imposter who doesn’t deserve to feel that way I do – accomplished, proud and a girl-boss in biz who fucks shit up. I’ve never strayed from telling you all about my situation. I am incredibly #BLESSED to be in a fortunate position where I am able to do this writing gig part-time alongside my other job. The money isn’t consistent and sometimes non-existent. You guys know that. I know that.

But I don’t think people are getting what this gig entails.

The gig I am so proud to be doing.

So what is a blogger or influencer? Side note: I fucking hate influencer as a word. I don’t influence shit. You guys are strong independent women who make your own informed decisions. Influencer makes me sound like I am casting some entrapping spell on y’all but fuck that I don’t have no magical powers.

My version of blogging is about writing, sharing, and self-expression. That is why I started. It is what makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and like I could pee a little from excitement. I wanted to write because I missed writing about things I cared about instead of writing about kids how to learn the recorder. SNOOZE. (FYI for those not playing along at home I was studying teaching when I started my blog). I wanted to share because when I started I was living alone at university I was not interested in the party scene. It was – and still is – about connection and honesty. Something that gets a little grey because paid advertising can make people force themselves to believe in something because of a pay check. Been there, done that, fuck that. No amount of money is worth losing your voice or what you REALLY believe in.

But wait…

How do bloggers make money?

It is funny because it’s a question I have had so many complete strangers ask me straight off the bat. How rude. Remember when your Mum used to tell you off if you asked someone how much money they earned? Isn’t that the same thing? Part of me wants to scold them and send them to their room but I know most people are just curious of the unknown. For bloggers there are a bunch of different ways to make money and some utilize the different avenues more than others. It’s all down to personal preference…. How the individual feels about that. If you didn’t say that in a whiny psychologist voice in your head you are MAD.

The main ways I make money is from ads placed on my blog and sponsored content which can mean a whole host of things over my different channels. I also make money from affiliate marketing which is using links throughout my posts where I earn a tiny amount of commission when you click there and buy (at no extra cost to you) then I’m like THANKS FOR THE 50C BABEZ. It’s a tough slog. It’s not anything crazy complicated or groundbreaking and I know that. It makes me feel a bit dirty. Like my job sounds simple when you say that.

What people don’t realize is the hours of brainstorming, planning, photo taking, editing, linking, writing, editing, promoting, emails, editing, writing and then some more promotion. That is just to do with content production. That isn’t mentioning your accounting, negotiating contracts, PR for your brand, your social media management, website maintenance and coding, taxes or general admin. We do it all. And we are pretty fucking fantastic. We are our own accountants, managers, web designers, creative director, model (SASSY), writer, editor, photographer, social media manager and PR representative.

We never switch off. We are always ON. Available. Networking. Sharing. So much so it can be hard to know where to draw a line. What is just for us? But more on that another day….

Moral of the story: it’s a fucking FULL-ON gig. It isn’t all free product, drinking champagne and cafe hopping. So if you’ve ever jumped to a conclusion and thought that bloggers are lazy bitches who just want free shit think again. We are queens (no affiliation with Constance Hall).

What I’m wearing: Tasmin Dress (size 10, gifted) | Round Sunglasses | Black Fedora | Birks

Have you ever felt a little insecure introducing yourself?

    I get it Sarah! I don’t have it in me to be a blogger of your level. It used to be what I wanted. And maybe a small part of me still wants that but I can’t force myself to put in all the work that comes with it. So I just do it as a hobby, but even that is loosing it’s appeal to me. It’s become so competitive and getting any kind of community and engagement is too much hard work. Everyone seems to have an agenda, as in the only reason they would comment or follow me is so that I would comment and follow them back. Not because they’re interested in what I am saying. And so it’s kind of lost its fun for me & there are not a lot of blogs I actually enjoy reading anymore. Yours is one of the few I come to! So you must be doing something right :P
    If people react badly to you calling yourself a blogger maybe you could tell them you’re a writer instead? :)

    • 2

      That’s a great idea Mel! I think a writer is alot easier to swallow.

      And I get what you’re saying about everyone having an agenda. I really only like or comment on things I’m truly interested in now which is a lovely way to be. I used to feel like I had to be cosy with everyone but you really don’t.

  2. 3

    I also get it Sarah! I too don’t have it in me to be a full-time blogger with all that it entails. I feel as though it’s something I SHOULD want for myself, what with all the blogging advice that’s out there; but in reality I know my limits & also know how lazy I can get.

    I too blog as a hobby, but like melanie.sylvia below it is beginning to lose some of its shine. I too have begun to feel like everyone’s got a hidden agenda these days in regards to the whole follow-for-follow thing (I refuse to play that game & I absolutely HATE IT when others do it to me – don’t come to my blog & leave a half-hearted comment acting like you’re interested in my post & what I’ve had to say, when all you want to do is ride my coat-tails by leaving your blog link). I also agree that it’s becoming competitive, repetitive & kind of non-informative too (especially on the product reviewing side – I figure if you’re going to do a product review, then include all the info, don’t half-arse it like so many do).

    Never fear though, your blog is still one of my favourites to read! I much prefer bloggers whose personality shines through in their writing, who engage with their readers/followers & who are also rather informative.

      THANK YOU! I would prefer 3 comments, on here on Instagram, that actually mean something!!! It seems crazy to me that people still do that ‘nice blog’ shit.

  3. 5

    I kept my blog a secret from friends and workplaces for ages before my friends found out and thought it was the coolest thing (now I’m the in-house reviewer/advice giver and donator when things don’t work or I have an excess). I’ve been able to relate it to work as well because I work in marketing but I am about to get a new boss so I don’t know if I plan to open up about where my knowledge comes from haha!!

    I started a blog because most of my friends and family are not very interested in beauty (most own one eyeshadow palette, if any at all!!!) and my boyfriend got sick of hearing about it. I still only write about what I would click on and read myself which makes me proud af.

    100% Sarah, back when I first started blogging (obviously on my old blog) my brain was so switched on I couldn’t handle it and had to quit. I’m now taking a more relaxed approach to it, but that doesn’t mean that I’m not serious about it, just means that I’m not about to sit here and work my mentally draining day job then come home and rack my brain daily like I used to. It used to shit me when people thought blogging was easy peasy free shit cause of everything you mentioned above that we do.

        Oh man, this would be rough. Need to find the right way to turn your mind off, little self promo here but I write blogposts on destressing if you want to check them out, I currently have 2 with another coming on Wednesday & more following later on down the track. You need to sleep for obvious reasons, not healthy to have trouble falling to sleep, even worse when it is because of work (I consider blogging work even if it’s not full time).

In fact, it is believed that left handed people have a bit of a higher IQ level than right handed ones. Left handed individuals are also more likely to excel in the fields of sports. However, this observation has not been clinically proven, and hence, endless debates and discussions are carried out to verify the theory.Then there the intense mental preparation as well. Every player must memorize complicated positions and plays. For example, Eagle Day quarterbacked the Ole wholesale nfl jerseys Miss Rebels Oakley Sunglasses Outlet to consecutive Southeastern Conference Championships and to a Cotton Bowl victory in the 1950s he had to know 150 plays, and also learn how to change a play according to how the defense lined up. In his words, night before a big game, I might not get more than three hours of sleep, because I had to make sure I had mastered our playbook. Something else he said is worth noting: won the game Fake Oakleys before we ever hit the field.Slip and bubble screen plays will not be successful if the perimeter players cannot deliver and maintain blocks. Nearing the defender to block, the receiver breaks down, positioning feet square under the cheap china jerseys shoulders and bending the knees. Shooting the hands downward helps get the receiver’s body lower, creating a better blocking stance. The receiver strikes the defender with the heels of the hands the thumbs and forefingers upward, forming a “V.” As the hands strike the defender the receiver rolls the hips upward, taking short, choppy steps to finish the block.
Oh, don’t worry, the highly contaminated vehicles aren’t just sitting around, waiting for unsuspecting children to come play pilot. The most heavily irradiated equipment the “grow an arm where your eye should be stuff” that was all buried. These ones sitting out? They’re just, like, “maybe get a little ball cancer in 30 years” irradiated. Yet, something here is amiss.

They’re more defiant, more entitled and more intent on preserving their culture and maintaining their love for a country they left behind one that hasn’t always loved them back..

Johnny Thunders - Looking For Johnny: The Legend Of Johnny Thunders

A documentary on the dangerous life of the late New York Dolls and Heartbreakers guitarist

Johnny Thunders was the legendary hard-living rock'n'roll guitarist who inspired glam-metal, punk and the music scene in general. 'Looking For Johnny' is a 90-minute film that documents Thunders' career from his beginnings to his tragic death in 1991. When Johnny Thunders died in New Orleans on April 23rd 1991, he left behind a mystery. Though MTV and international broadsheets reported the guitarist's demise, for many in the mainstream, Thunders was perceived as an enigmatic outlaw. He was adored by a legion of devotees and cited as an influence by at least three successive generations of musicians. Thunders refused to play the corporate game and was both elevated and damned for it. 'Looking for Johnny' is the creation of Danny Garcia ('The Rise & Fall of The Clash'). The young Spanish filmmaker was seized by a question that wouldn't let go - "just who was Johnny Thunders?" He spent 18 months travelling across the USA and Europe, filming interviews with fifty of the people who were closest to Johnny, building a compelling narrative drawn from first hand testimonies. The film examines Johnny Thunders' career from the early 70's as a founding member of the influential New York Dolls; the birth of the punk scene with The Heartbreakers in New York City and London; Gang War and The Oddballs. It also explores Johnny's unique musical style, his personal battle with drugs and theories on his death in a New Orleans hotel in 1991 at age 38. Interviewees include Sylvain Sylvain, Lenny Kaye, Walter Lure, Billy Rath, Bob Gruen, Terry Chimes, Alan Vega, Peter Perrett, Sami Yaffa, BP Fallon, three of his late managers: Marty Thau, Leee Black Childers and Malcolm McLaren, and many others. The film includes forty songs with historic film of Johnny, including unseen New York Dolls and Heartbreakers footage and photos. Cult filmmakers Bob Gruen, Don Letts, Patrick Grandperret, Rachael Amadeo and others contribute classic archive footage.

Sad, glorious, and invigorating, this a fine, fine picture for old-school East Coast Musos and anyone else who needs to discover the costs and rewards of rock and roll. Highly Recommended.

5 must-do activities for 4 years old in Parks

Indira Park has been a favourite destination for O +ve and B +ve since their first year. It is not close to our house, yet the attraction of the greenery all-around and the complete freedom to wander makes it a preferred outing location for the girls, almost once every 2 weeks.

For the last 3 years or so, the girls have made their acquaintance with quite a bit of the park space. As the girls turn 4 years old, I have listed down the 5 time-tested must-do activities for B +ve and O +ve in Indira Park that makes it a much-loved place for them.

Chasing the squirrels:

The girls are in awe of the hop and running, getting up on the tree, running after each other, standing up on hind-legs, putting food in the mouth – whatever the squirrels do. They want to participate in each of the squirrels’ routine affairs and run behind them to be a part of their team. Alas, no squirrels have come to terms with their idol status with the girls. They jump and run away to protect their space to themselves.

It is O +ve’s fervent desire to caress the squirrel’s tail. Needless to say, she has been a complete failure in this task. Yet, she pursues it with total commitment each and every time.

Rock climbing:

Almost twice a week the girls tell us that we should take them out for rock climbing. I am unable to understand from where they get their fascination with rock climbing.

Before you visualize that there would be large rocks in Indira Park to get the rock climbing enthusiasts going, it is none of the sorts. Indira Park hardly has 8-10 rocks, most of them 3-4 feet in height. Our little rock climbers scramble on these rocks from all possible directions and claim their supremacy on reaching the summit. The descent is by sliding down the rocks into the sand.

Snooping on the Centipedes

A wild-life in any form is sure to get the girls excited. None better than a centipede. Like an eagle that can spot her prey on the ground from the sky, both the girls can catch a sight of centipede from a distance. They are occupied tracing the movement of centipede on the ground, following the insect all along till it decides to get swallowed into the ground. The girls have actually tried counting the legs of the centipedes but to no avail.

The girls have not been brave enough to hold the centipedes in their hands. The day they do it, we are sure that they would want to bring it home as their pet in their small flower pots. BTW, a snail is also as charming as centipede to the girls.

Collecting leaves, twigs and seed-pods

This is a major activity for the girls anywhere and everywhere, particularly in the parks. They carry their nature bags with them and start hauling their collection once they step into the park. They understand not to pluck the flowers from the plants. Hence, their attention has always been on dried leaves, twigs of all shapes and sizes and seed-pods lying on the ground. This collection gets used for their colouring activity and other arts and crafts everyday stuff at home.

The girls want to know the names of each and every tree and seeds and flowers and fruits, how and why a leaf’s design is what it is – what all these should be called. I realize with each of their questions that I am no good in my botany or biology.

Rolling and Sliding over the grass

The girls engage in this activity when they realize that their sojourn in the park is coming to an end. It is a pleasure to watch the girls rolling in sliding in the grass without inhibitions – unabashed.

The best a child can be.

It is not that these activities that can be done only in Indira Park. Any of the public parks with a green space to run around will suffice for the 4 years old girls for their 5 must-do activities.

A joy to watch the 4-year-olds at their best.

PS: Public Parks also double-up as a survival guide for children by teaching life skills.

Little Moments: Memories with our children – 3

Little moments of beautiful memories of life with O +ve and B +ve. For the first part, please click here, the second part is here.

Using a map for hide and seek

O +ve has seen maps – in her books, in Uber and Ola apps, in videos, in our house as well. She has forever been fascinated by them; she feels that maps lead to a secret destination. O +ve keeps drawing lines, curves, circles and triangles on whatever she can get hold of and says that she has drawn a map. One day, just as we decided to play a game of hide and seek, she asked for some time, picked up her pencil and paper and set to work. After two minutes, she said she is ready with the map of our house and was pretty sure of seeking us out from any corner.

My little girl is gung-ho about discovering the world with her own maps.

Ramayana – an unfinished story

Who is Sita’s mother? What is her name?

Whilst on a walk, ‘If I touch this stone with my feet, will it turn into Ahalya?’ ‘Which stone should I touch so that it turns into Ahalya?’

Why didn’t Rama and Lakshmana take Jatayu to the hospital?

Why did Ravana take Sita?

What is the name of the squirrel which helped in building the Ram Setu?

At every point of the rendition of Ramayana, the girls had questions. We tried our best to answer them all, but Google also couldn’t throw up answers for the last one. The squirrel continues to remain anonymous. B +ve refuses to hear the story without figuring out the name of the squirrel. So, the Ramayana story-telling has been stalled for now.

Just as I am penning this down, it occurred to me that I could give B +ve the option of naming the squirrel. Maybe the story of Ramayana will continue after that!

Why doesn’t a bull give milk?

We were reading about farm animals. Cows give milk, buffaloes give milk et al. When the bull got introduced, B +ve immediately popped up the question – Does the bull give milk? Even before I could answer, O +ve came up with another question – Does the bull have an udder? I said ‘No’ and O +ve immediately turned towards B +ve and remarked with all-knowingness, ‘Bull does not have an udder, so it doesn’t give milk.’

On every occasion that we accost a member of the bovine family, O +ve and B +ve look down first to ascertain the presence of the udder to ensure correct identification of the animal’s gender.

Aadhaar Card as an all-in-one solution

The girls like watching videos of Australia Zoo. One fine day, they announced that they would like to visit Australia Zoo in person. So, we started explaining to them that to go out of the country, we need a passport and that we do not have one. To our utter surprise, B +ve said that we have an Aadhaar card, so what do we need a passport for? On thinking further, we realized that she is actually right. Why do we need multiple documents when we have already proven the citizenship of the country? When PAN card is seeded with Aadhaar, we can obtain passport basis Aadhaar, what is the need for dual paperwork in all such instances?

To be honest, we do not find any flaw in B +ve’s logic; just that the complex and convoluted Government of India will not see any sense in a child’s simple take.

A world trip with B +ve and O +ve

In the above Australia Zoo discussion, I also explained to the girls that going to Australia is an expensive affair and that we do not have money to afford a trip currently. O +ve quipped that I can go to the ATM and take out the money. I told her that one can withdraw money from ATM only if it is there in the bank account and I don’t have that many in mine. She gave me her ATM card (the girls carry our expired cards in their wallets) and told me to withdraw the money from her account for the tickets.

We have begun planning for a round trip of the world, courtesy – our girls’ ATM cards 🙂

Anganwadi Visit – A Child’s Perspective Part II

Anganwadi Visit – A Child’s Perspective Continued from Part – 1

Why is everywhere dark around?

It did not occur to us in the first Anganwadi centre. We did not ask in the second centre. When we did in the third centre, we were told that Government runs Anganwadi centres on rent, which they keep to the minimum and pass on the responsibility of electricity to the landlord. Hence, there were actually no lights or fans in any of the three Anganwadi centres we visited, as the landlords had removed the electricity connection.

We are children; we spread happiness and cheer wherever we go. What do we do with this darkness all around us?

How do we go for poop?

All the three centres did have wash-room. But, you can imagine the chaos when there are 2-3 adults for 30 children who need assistance to visit the washroom. In fact, when we visited the first centre, what welcomed us was the sight of a 3-year-old girl doing pee outside the room, in the open.

So much for Swachh Bharat, we cannot let our PM down. We are not going to pee and poop like this.

What exactly is the time for us to play?

On paper, Anganwadi centres are open from 9 am to 4 pm. On the ground, children come at the time when food is disbursed or one-two hours prior to that. They take food and go back home unless their parents are too busy to come and pick them up. So, either it is jam-packed or there is mostly nobody around.

Is it a place to play or collect food and hang around for some time?

Where are the teachers?

I do not have any idea about the qualifications of Anganwadi in-charge so I will stay clear of it.

What was visible was 1-2 women remaining seated, as there was not much place to walk, and trying hard to control the situation of 25-30 children. One woman was deputed to take care of the food to avoid raids from the children. The result – a hapless lady surrounded by a crowd of hyperactive children. There are no teachers, as such, practically not possible.

Where do we sleep, if we want to?

We are children, below 4 years and we like our afternoon siesta. But here, there are no fans and no dedicated place to snooze; apart from children all around us.

We like to play and keep ourselves busy, but here there is actually no place for us to either play or rest. What are we supposed to be doing?

Pre-school education?

We were anyways looking at Anganwadi as a place for getting play-mates, so this point did not matter as such for us.

Pre-school education is a stated objective of Anganwadi, however, the practical aspects governing the set-up makes this completely redundant. One cannot expect anything in an adult:child ratio of 1:30 at worst or 1:15 at best.

No, we do not want to go to this place called Anganwadi and we do not want any of our fellow children to go either. It is not meant for children. We want a place to hop, skip, jump and run with fellow children and not a tiny and dingy room with no place to move about with children half our age.

The above is what O +ve and B +ve would have communicated to us if their language skills would have developed.

Yes, we did want to send our daughters to Anganwadi to expose them to the reality of India, but we developed cold feet and backed out of Anganwadi when we actually saw the reality ourselves.

Our search for finding play-mates for our daughters continues. Also to give them all-round exposure, what our country has to offer in its real diversity.

As far as Anganwadi is concerned – Whose children are they anyway? The government surely thinks and acts so.

Anganwadi Visit – A Child’s Perspective

Our daughters do not go to pre-school/nursery/day-care. One of the unintended consequences has been the lack of play-mates for the girls.

There is no common play-area in the apartment apart from the terrace and the ground-floor parking. 1-2 children in the apartment of their age/near-by age do not come to these places. Public parks are at a minimum distance of 1.5 km one way and that too is not of much use. There is nobody to play within the public parks of the non-residential areas. The public parks in the residential areas are so crowded that there is actually no place to play. We were raking our brains and we came up with an idea – Anganwadi.

What is Anganwadi?

Anganwadi is a part of Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS), the only major national program that addresses the needs of children under the age of six years. It seeks to provide young children with an integrated package of services such as supplementary nutrition, health care and pre-school education.

We have not used any of the Government offered services till now in either the education or the health sector. So, we thought, we might as well try out and see what good use our taxes are being put to.

Anganwadi also applied to our mindset that our children need to see different facets of life apart from the privileges that they have. Children need to have upbringing to make them adaptable to all situations and the spectrum of people that they will interact with. We want our kids to be all-terrain friendly, see the real world and not restricted to limited views from the comfort of the gated community.

We enquired and got to know that there is an Anganwadi centre in the lane next to our apartment. On our visit, we were told that there are two more centres in the vicinity. We visited all three in a span of two hours.

We had told the girls that we were going to a place to play with children of their age. I know that they are not articulate enough and they did not tell us in as many words what I have written below. However, if they were able to, their response would be on the following lines. This is what we could make out from their limited verbal reactions and ample body language signals.

Where do we play?

There were about 25-30 children in the first two Anganwadi centres and 10-15 in the third. All crammed into the area of one and a half room, approximately about 600-750 sq ft. From the experience of our twin daughters, we have learnt that what children like the most are running and jumping as their part of playing. Here, leave aside the place to run and jump, there is no way that they could have walked 5 steps in any direction without bumping into another child.

Where do we play?

What do we play with?

Women in-charge of Anganwadi centres did tell us that they have been given some equipment to engage the children and to give them to play with. But, this paraphernalia is limited in nature. They are held liable in case of breakage. So, to be on the safer side, they do not bring it out.

What do we play with?

Whom do we play with?

This was a fairly interesting point. Anganwadi is for children up to 6 years of age. What we saw was a majority of children, if not all, below 3 years. We were told that parents, for their children above 3 years, put them in private schools. The parents do this so that their children are ready for their schooling straight away and get a head start. So, actually, there were no children of our daughters’ age in Anganwadi.

Whom do we play with?

To be continued…

Counting to 100 by 10s: Krishna Fruit Juice Centre

An activity for number counting to 100 by 10s – Krishna Fruit Juice Centre.

Our girls love role-plays. They love being hawkers, vendors and shopkeepers – they get to stock loads of stuff and handle loads of imaginary money. They enjoy being customers – they get to carry wallets and bags and choose what they want to buy.

So here’s one that we came up with to introduce number counting to 100 by 10s to them.

Materials Used:
  • Cardboard box, big enough to hold 20 bottles, 10 popsicle stick labels, 20 straws and 2 wallets
  • 20 bottles – we used Yakult bottles which are easy to hold and manage
  • 10 images of fruits – we used images from old children’s books picked from Sunday street shops
  • 10 popsicle sticks
  • Straws – we cut them to be just enough for the Yakult bottles
  • Coloured tape
  • Wallets – we used passport photo holders
  • Cardstock to write the numbers and make the currency (we re-used the flashcards on which the girls had scribbled)
  • Stickers to label the juice bottles
  • Hot glue gun and Markers
Activity Preparation:

1) Glue the fruit images on to the popsicle sticks. It helps to have the names of the fruits along with the images. Add the prices (10/- to 100/-) next to the images.

2) Stick the coloured tapes on the plastic bottles as per the colours of the juices that you are going to sell at the juice centre. We made 2 bottles each for every variety of fruit juice, a high probability that both B +ve and O +ve might select the same variant.

3) Label the bottles – write the names of the fruit juices.

4) Put the popsicle sticks and straws in each of the plastic bottles.

5) Cut the cardstock and make currency notes (10/- 20/- 30/- 40/- 50/- 60/- 70/- 80/- 90/- 100/-) and put them in the wallets.

6) Stick the tape on one side of the cardboard box. We wrote ‘Krishna Fruit Juice Centre’ on a flash card and glued it onto this side.

We are ready to go for counting to 100 by 10s.

Play (Counting to 100 by 10s):

Girls get super excited when they are told that we are going to set up a juice centre. Do they want to sell or do they want to buy? They want to be customers. So I end up being the fruit juice ‘shop uncle’. I take 5 minutes to bring out our fruit juice centre box, lay out the contents and set up shop on a table in our living room.

I pick up the 2 wallets, hand them over to my daughters and introduce them to the money in it. They begin rummaging and try getting a hang of the stuff that is in there.

It is O +ve’s turn first. She checks out the labelled bottles, the labelled popsicle sticks and is very happy to find her favourite lemon juice and right away orders for it. B +ve immediately says ‘me too’. They read out from the number-price label that it costs ten rupees. So, they dig into their wallets, fish out the money and hand it over to me.

The girls’ order for another juice, read out the numbers on the labels, take out the matching currency from their wallets and pay me. I hand over the bottles to them along with straws. There is, of course, nothing in the bottle but air, but they get so excited about having made a purchase that they start making all kinds of slurping sounds with their straws. Whilst at it, we speak about the particular fruit – colour, taste, seasonality, benefits, which part of the country it comes from and all other related trivia. The girls also try reading out the names of the fruits. This continues until they drink all the juices and their tummies are full.

Whenever they have their grandparents, uncles, aunts or friends visiting, the girls want to play this with them. We have done this activity a number of times and the girls still love slurping and making all kinds of sounds.

Way Forward:

As they get comfortable with counting to 100 by 10s, we now plan to change the number labels and the corresponding currency notes as well to familiarise them with other numbers. Inflation has got us as well, you see. Also, we might have to introduce new flavours onto our menu, just to keep our little customers happy and asking for more.

Fruit Juices are tasty, healthy and also help in counting to 100 by 10s.

Visit to Chacha Nehru Park, Hyderabad

It was another Sunday afternoon in late June, a cloudy sky with no forecast for rain. The weather was pleasant and we felt outdoorsy – so we were on our way to Chacha Nehru Park to make the most of it.

We took the tickets and as soon as we entered the park, a kitten popped up to greet the girls. Both, B +ve and O +ve, kept running behind the kitten till the time the kitten decided that it was better to jump off the wall on to the other side of the park to protect its privacy.

Once the kitten was gone, we focused on the park in front of us and out of nowhere it started raining heavily. We rushed back to stand below the entrance gate to save us from the heavy downpour and the girls found the sticks of the security guards to amuse themselves.

It stopped raining in 5 minutes or so. The rain left behind many puddles to jump into. So, it was celebration time for the girls. They spent loads of time making ripples, swirling the waters, creating waterholes and splashing water all around to their heart’s content.

After the puddle play, the girls moved ahead to explore the park. They saw a miniature hippopotamus carved out of stone and both of them got on to it. After domesticating the hippo, they turned their attention to a giant globe lying in a corner. O +ve’s name means the Earth in Sanskrit. She started jumping up and down in excitement that she found herself in the park. Both of them tried to move the globe. After quite some effort, when they realised that it did not budge even an inch, they lost interest and stopped trying.

We then saw the moss filled pond at the park – the green coloured water disappointed the girls. They had loads of questions to ask as to the colour of the water, the filth around it and the absence of ducks near the water body.

Running along the walkway, we reached the children’s play area. The girls entered with eager anticipation and to their utter dismay found that more than 80% of the equipments were broken. With the remaining, there was so much of crowd that they realized they are not going to get any turn.

Coming outside, they saw a large drainage pipe. Both of them sat down on either side, calling each other’s name and enjoying the echo that reverberated through the pipe. They actually tried entering the pipe but with their shorts, they got worried about their ankles and decided against it.

The girls saw an unused man-hole opening and assumed that it was a tunnel. They actually found out the other end of the man-hole opening which was also unused. The debate raged on whether it was the snake’s burrow or the rabbit’s. We, of course, did not find any to ascertain the identity of the owner.

Then, the flowers and sticks and seed-pods lying strewn on the walk-way got their attention. There was a tree with a bent trunk. The girls loved climbing onto it and swinging from its low lying branches. Their nature bag started getting filled with seed-pods of the Pink Shower (Cassia Javanica) and the flowers of the Indian Medlar (Mimusops Elengi). B +ve likes having nectar of the Jungle Geranium (Ixora Coccinea). She tried out with all the flowers that she could lay her hands on but her bee glands had to go empty stomach.

Now, the sun had come out in its full glory and I was dragging my feet behind them. And I was continuously being told – Come On Papa, You Can Do It. A hawker was moving around selling football sized balls for kids. The girls bought it and kicked around for quite some time. Once they were done, again they got back to filling their nature bags.

Just as we were about to leave, the girls came across slopes of lush green grass. The girls ran to the top of the slope and began sliding and rolling over to everyone’s amusement. After putting up a good show, it was time for us to head home.

An evening well-spent at Chacha Nehru Park.

Little Moments: Memories with our children – 2

Little moments of beautiful memories of life with O +ve and B +ve. For the first part, please click here.

Lies and Lice

The girls are growing up and are in a phase where they want to know the meaning of all that they hear and speak. So, one afternoon, whilst singing Johny Johny Yes Papa, O +ve asked me the meaning of the word ‘Lies’. I was dithering, trying to put together an answer without getting into worldly affairs of lies to three and a half-year-olds. B +ve came to my rescue and told her sister that Johny’s father was asking if Johny has “Lice” and dandruff in his hair.

Thanks to lice, there are no lies.

What will Mowgli do when he grows up?

The girls love watching Jungle Book. One fine day, B +ve raises a pertinent question – What is Mowgli’s age? It never occurred to me until then as to what could be Mowgli’s age. It is easy in the age of Google to answer such questions; I looked up and answered her that Mowgli is 10 years old. I was happy that I was able to satisfy my child’s inquisitiveness. But, what I was not ready for was the next barrage of questions. What will Mowgli do when he turns 30 years? Will Mowgli come to stay in the city like us? What is the age of Bagheera and Baloo? Why doesn’t Mowgli ever change his dress?

Sir Rudyard Kipling, please help me with the answers.

What is Life?

B +ve is playing with her Ammamma and suddenly she asks – What is Life? My mother-in-law got nervous on hearing the question that a great many philosophers have failed to answer in their lifetime. She immediately directed B +ve to her grandfather, who answered her question by offering the Telugu word for ‘Life’ – ‘Jeevitham’. Unsatisfied, B +ve again got back to question her grand-mother – What is Jeevitham?

The question continues…

The role-play of Mommy

O +ve has taken it upon herself that she is my mother and I am her child. So, every now and then, she dons the avatar of my mother. I will be instructed to call her Amma, Mommy, Mom, Mummy – all the different words of mother that she knows. She goes around calling me Baby and I have to call her by any of the chosen names that she gives me from her repertoire.

When my mother is around, I might get 2 replies when I call for her.

The tears dropping around

B +ve had a shampoo done and she came out crying from the bath. No amount of cajoling and coaxing can console her right after the gross injustice that has been meted out to her. Her sister tries her luck. O +ve remarks that  B +ve is crying so much that her tears would be passing through the floor, seeping into the house of the neighbour who stays below us and he is going to come complaining to us for the water in his house. The next thing we know, B +ve is amused and is completely silent thinking about whether it will really happen.

Water leakage and water flooding due to tears, OMG!

Why do girls only wear frocks?

We do try to keep our daughters away from the gender stereotyping (my being at home and my wife going to work certainly helps). Well, I suppose not much. B +ve has popped up a question – Why do only girls wear frocks? And, we have not been able to answer this simple (!) a query.

The girls’ initiations to real-world differences seem to have started.

In the daily rush of things, we tend to forget these instances that make our lives livable and leave us with a smile on our face, irrespective of the circumstances that we face.

Each one of us has such little moments. Let’s take out time for them; let us not miss out on these memories in our everyday’s struggles. I am sure big things will happen, in the meanwhile, it will be these little moments that will make life totally worth it.

Dialogues with the Outside World. Chair: Jim Hornsby

Producing for Real.

Brian Hall

University of Lincoln

This paper will examine the teaching and learning issues that arise when involving students in commercial work as part of, or not part of the curriculum.

As a School of Media, we are often asked if our students could produce work for outside organisations and individuals. This is often presented as a ‘fantastic opportunity’ for students to gain work experience, add to their showreels, enhance their CVs etc., etc.

Unfortunately many of these requests are simply looking for free or cheap labour and would do nothing to enhance the students work experience or knowledge.  On the other hand, we have found that some useful opportunities do occur and that, if handled in a way that ensures students are supervised and supported, can provide an experience that sits well alongside the curriculum.

In this paper I will look at the rationale that enables us, via an in-house production facility, to take on this kind of ‘professional’ work with support from academics within the School and reward the students for their labour.

The Producers Panel: Enhancing Formative Feedback

Liam Wellls

Norwich University College of the Arts

In education, the group critique is widely recognised as an aid that enhances all sorts of students’ learning from debating skills to theory/practice relationships.

In industry the story-pitch provides an opportunity for filmmakers to ‘sell’ their ideas to producers and commissioners.

Can the educational benefits of the group critique inform story-pitching and can the industry practice of story-pitching add value in education?

The Producers Panel is an on-going project that has been developed with funding from ADM-HEA, to explore models of student engagement with industry within the group-learning environment of a formative critique.  The panel has enabled students to engage directly with producers, film festival staff, and screen agencies and given the students a chance to explore their own practices in relation to such ‘real world’ considerations as audience, economics and format through the feedback from industry professionals.

Monday 4 July. Session 2: 11.45 – 1.00

How do we Frame it? Teaching Camera & Production Design.  Chair: Claire Barwell

The Phenomenon of Digital SLR Cameras in Student Filmmaking.

Daniel Hopkins

Staffordshire University

Since 2009 the availability of the Canon 5D Mark II has revolutionized filmmaking and student filmmaking. The quality of the work produced has taken the problem of shooting format/quality out of the equation for student filmmakers.

Though film is not just a visual medium, our first impressions as audiences are through what we see and hear. The higher resolution of these new digital SLR cameras has given my students opportunities to create cinematography that puts their ideas on a level playing field with other more established institutions.

This presentation will look at how students have used this equipment to develop pro‐active research and independent study that has helped them create visually stunning films.

Story Development in Cinematography.

Larra Anderson

Northern Film School

First off, I’ve got to argue for the use of the word “cinematography” over “camera”.  One is to utilize a word I would like to further unpack.  Another is to utilize a word that simply implies a relationship to another art form entirely – photography.  I often say to my students that some cinematographers initially come from the lighting point of view and some come from the camera, but ultimately what great cinematographers do is understand a story (not just a moment that tells a story – there is a significant difference) – and tell it.

If I say that storytelling is the most and primary function of a cinematographer, then how do we teach storytelling to our students in a classroom?  Obviously it is possible to teach them tools of “photography” – lenses/optics, composition, chemistry, sensitometry etc. and lighting – this is an HMI, this is flicker, memorize WAV, etc.  However, how do we teach them how to tell a story with these tools?  I have been working the last few years on teaching my students story development tools that are appropriate for cinematographers.  Tools which as they go forward into their own practice have begun to give real results in terms of not only storytelling, but in the students creating their own relevant visual styles.  For them to utilize these tools they need to engage not only in pre-production time, but in story development time – which is a period rarely engaged in at the student level, but is crucial if we want them to become anything other than the takers of pretty pictures.

Tuesday 5 July. Session 3: 10 – 11.15

Personal Creativity and Reflective Practice.  Chair: Steve Brookes

The Other Cinema: Personal Filmmaking and the Reflective Journal

Claire Barwell & Simon Aeppli

University for the Creative Arts: Farnham

The Other Cinema is a unit on the BA Film Production course that challenges students to make a film on their own based on personal experience.

The presentation will include a brief contextual introduction by Claire Barwell and a paper by Simon Aeppli examining the effectiveness of exercises that have been used to instigate the personal exploration of ideas and their translation into work for the screen.  The students are also required to record the process of their project work and to reflect on it in a journal. Examples of the students’ exercises and the journals will be shown in relation to the final projects and their evaluations.

We consider this unit to have enormous value to students who are otherwise engaged in group work on more substantial filmmaking projects. The challenge of working on personal subject matter can be problematic but the further development of their individual work in the third year testifies to the important place this has in developing a filmmaking voice and exploring alternative modes of representation.

Teaching Screenwriting and its Relationship to Practice

Ann Tobin

Northern Film School: Leeds Metropolitan University

My PhD is a practice based research project exploring the relationship between the actual process of developing an original screenplay against the way in which screenwriting is taught.  There are two key elements to my research: the screenplay itself and the development journal in which I attempt to record every single aspect of the creative process.

The journal was intended primarily as something that would provide the evidence for the 30,000 words required to contextualise my PhD screenplay.

Unexpectedly, my development journal has transformed from a record of process into a creative product that is as rewarding and exciting as the product whose creation it is recording.    The journal is becoming an exploration of the process of creativity and now demands my recognition that the actual process of making reveals something of and beyond the product itself; something that is as important – and as creative – as the completed artefact.

In this paper I want to explore both the relationship between the product and the process of its creation and its impact on the way in which I approach the teaching of screenwriting.

Tuesday 5 July. Session 4: 11.45 – 1.00

Creative Practice: Questions of Teaching and Research.  Chair: Joram ten Brink

Teaching And Making Films At The Same Time:

Research? Practice? Theorised Practice? Or none of the above.

Alistair Oldham

University of the West of England

I’ve made two short documentaries in the past two years: The Bristol Bike Project and Bonnington Square. Both have been well received. The Bike Project has shown at over 30 festivals internationally and been translated into nine languages.  Bonnington Square has recently been selected for the London Documentary Festival and the East End Film Festival.

In this paper I would like to explore some of the parameters of making films while working as a full time lecturer. I’d like to ask how practice is perceived within the HE Media Production/Film School environment: to what extent it is assumed and whether it is actively supported. In particular, I would like to use my own experience of these two short productions as a case study of the relationship between practice and pedagogy in the landscape of Higher Education in the Moving Image.

Our subject area – film making – does not seem to fit readily into the established culture of HE research. Research normally demands a question or hypothesis as its starting point but I would argue that this is a very unusual way to start the creative process of making a film. Research expects technological innovation but the best films are not defined by technology, they depend instead on more esoteric qualities of content and narrative treatment. It seems that film making might qualify more readily as research if we write up our findings in the form of publishable outcomes – a situation that suggests that critical reflection supercedes production as it partially discounts the enormous effort involved in the film making process.

Production, the process of film making, is the heartbeat of everything we teach and yet it seems to be mismatched with the privileged patterns of acknowledgement accorded to research.  In conclusion, this paper will contend that a more supportive framework should be proposed for working practice within the HE environment.

Re-Defining Creativity:  New Policy, New Approaches and Implications for Education.

Nigel Mairs and Alex Jukes

Edge Hill University

Not for the first time in history, artists and their function are being re-defined; this time shaped by austerity and governmental economic growth policy. The search to de-mystify, rationalise, and categorise the creative process seems to be a priority of modern British Government policy and for the last decade has been intrinsically linked to economic growth and GDP.

Simultaneously, fuelled by increased tuition fees, we are witnessing a shift in undergraduate animation courses where the focus on creative, individual expression is being undermined by supposed student expectation for ‘training’.

What impact will this have on a national economy that has previously built its strength on innovation, creativity and a uniquely British reflection on life and experience? More importantly how can we as educators respond to this within the HE Animation sector? How do we manage the balance between a training ethos and nurturing personal creativity? Will there be a further division between training and experimental approaches to animation?

This paper aims to open up this debate and identify possible solutions through collaboration between the animation industry and some of the new freedoms afforded to the HE sector.

    Title: Excitonic effects in the optical properties of a SiC sheet and nanotubes
    Authors: 郭光宇
    Hsueh,H. C.;Guo, Guang-Yu;Louie, Steven G.
    Contributors: 應物所

    Abstract: The quasiparticle band structure and optical properties of single-walled zigzag and armchair SiC nanotubes (SiC-NTs) as well as a single SiC sheet are investigated by ab initio many-body calculations using the GW and the GW plus Bethe-Salpeter equation approaches, respectively. Significant GW quasiparticle corrections, of more than 1.0 eV, to the Kohn-Sham band gaps from the local density approximation (LDA) calculations are found. The GW self-energy corrections transform the SiC sheet from an indirect LDA band gap to a direct band gap material. Furthermore, the quasiparticle band gaps of SiC-NTs with different chiralities behave very differently as a function of tube diameter, and this can be attributed to the difference in the curvature-induced orbital rehybridization among the different chiral nanotubes. The calculated optical absorption spectra are dominated by discrete exciton peaks due to exciton states with a high binding energy, up to 2.0 eV, in the SiC sheet and SiC-NTs. The formation of strongly bound excitons is attributed to the enhanced electron-hole interaction in these low-dimensional systems. Remarkably, the excited electron amplitude of the exciton wave function is found to peak on Si atoms near the hole position (which is on the C site) in zigzag SiC-NTs, indicating a charge transfer from an anion (hole) to its neighboring cations by photoexcitation. In contrast, this pronounced peak structure disappears in the exciton wave function in armchair SiC-NTs. Furthermore, in armchair SiC-NTs, the bound exciton wave functions are more localized and also strongly cylindrically asymmetric. The high excitation energy, 3.0 eV, of the first bright exciton, with no dark exciton below it, suggests that small-radius armchair SiC-NTs could be useful for optical devices working in the UV regime. On the other hand, zigzag SiC-NTs have many dark excitons below the first bright exciton and hence may have potential applications in tunable optoelectric devices ranging from infrared to UV frequencies by external perturbations.
