Rebranding the UK

0
0

Cities and regions around the UK keep trying to rebrand themselves. They are very bad at it. Here are some ideas they can have for free.

Storified by Tom Phillips · Tue, Oct 16 2012 07:03:18

First up in the genuine rebranding efforts is Suffolk, which for reasons surpassing understanding seems keen on describing itself as "the curious county":
Then it was Edinburgh's turn, who dropped their planned "Incrediburgh" rebranding in favour of the much more sensible "Winterinedinburgh" and "Goaheadinburgh". Because they work much better.
It turns out that Newcastle are also getting in on the fun:
So people started plotting other potential rebranding opportunities. This one came up quite a lot, but has the advantage of being a) excellent and b) unexpectedly achievable:
And from there, it just sort of snowballed.

New Media and Politics #MUNieman Roundtable discussion in wake of upcoming 2012 Presidential Election

Members of #LoweClass #Sports attended and live-tweeted the Nieman Conference sponsored by Marquette University’s Diederich College of Communication held in Raynor Memorial Library on Tuesday, October 16, 2012. A roundtable of panelists discussed the role and issues that new media plays in politics.

Storified by Ryan Ellerbusch · Wed, Oct 17 2012 20:34:10

The New Media and Politics Roundtable presentation began with a 4-minute YouTube video of The West Wing that talked about the importance of voting on the nonpartisan section of the ballot. The video is an actual advertisement starring the cast of the West Wing to make voters aware of the Bridget Mary McCormack campain on the Michigan voting ballot come November 6th.

Following the video, moderator Bonnie Brennen (Nieman Professor of Journalism) introduced the five panelists whom consisted of Marquette University’s Joyce Wolburg (Diederich College of Communication Associate Dean and Professor), Chioma Ugochukwu (Diederich College Assistant Dean), Arthur Thomas (Teaching Assistant), Hang Lu (Graduate Research Assistant), and Herbert Lowe (Professional In Residence).

The political advertisement on West Wing was a great introduction to how political campaigns and candidates are using new media and social media to show their political stance to the audience. They are not only getting out the message, but they are also rallying up as many people to vote as possible. The West Wing video brings together a lot of issues facing us when thinking about new media and politics. Facebook, Twitter, email, etc… affects the political news we receive everyday and our decision on what party and candidate to vote for.

The man, the myth, the legend: ladies and gentlemen, @herbertlowe #munieman #loweclass http://pic.twitter.com/hRQ7kKiT · Alex Rydin
The issue of partisanship in politics was brought up next. Partisanship is a person who takes the part of or strongly supports one side, party, or person. People walk in to the ticket booth, check the straight party ticket box and they think they have voted for everything, but they haven't. And like the West Wing has taught us, there still is a nonpartisan section of the ballett that voters often are unaware of and skip.
The topic of social media was discussed next and how it affects who people vote for in politics. This was one of the more fascinating portions of the roundtable that afternoon as panelists weighed in about what they are reading everyday on social media and if it's impacting the decision of who they're voting for.

Being a bit of a girl geek, you would have thought I would've attended numerous Comic Conventions by now. Surprisingly, I haven't -- and it took interning at Marvel this past summer to make me realize that I NEEDED to go. So I figured what better place to start than in the city that never sleeps!

When I got to New York Comic Con, the first thing I did was scope out the area.  I walked around the Javits Center, checking out the various booths set up and grabbing the free swag available.  Breaking away from all the tempting merchandise, I eventually made my way to my first panel!

It's fitting in a way that the first panel I decided to attend was an Archie Comics panel.  Archie and his pals in Riverdale were the first comic books I was exposed to as a kid and are what initially got me into reading and collecting comic books.
Everyone is lined up for the Archie panel at room 1A06. It just keeps going! #NYCC http://pic.twitter.com/krVdnZVo · Archie Comics

Following the Archie panel, I went to the Autographing area to meet SHATTER ME author Tahereh Mafi.  A definite must-read, SHATTER ME is a dystopian novel with something for everyone.  There's romance, adventure, and even a paranormal twist.

Other panels I went to on Friday included Zenescope's 'Grimm Fairy Tales' and TheOneRing.net's 'The Hobbit.'  At Zenescope's panel, they previewed three minutes of the first episode of their new 'Grimm Fairy Tales' animated series funded through Kickstarter.  TheOneRing.com panel was the perfect place for Tolkein fans to find out about spoilers for the upcoming 'Hobbit' films (FYI: there will be three of them!).

Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz

Storified by · Wed, Oct 17 2012 20:40:21

While waiting for the phone to ring, I heard a knock at the door. I looked up and before me stood a dame with sadness in her eyes and a tan line on her left ring finger.
"Are you," she stuttered, "Vance McGriff, P.I.?" 
She knew the answer. My name was on the door.
 "In the flesh, " I said. "What brings you here during this storm?"

With her eyes fixated on God-knows-what on the floor she hesitated then said, "He's gone. He took the milk and he's gone."
The spark of loss and grief in her eyes let me know that she hadn't lost just any milk. He husband had certainly fled with a fresh jug of Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz. No other beverage can quench so deep, and leave such scars of remorse and longing.
"Dry your eyes, dollface. Why don't you go and open up the Frigidaire next to the stove?"
Her face went from sullen to sunny faster than a parochial school kid fleeing the wrath of a Sister with a ruler.   
Nothing could make her forget the pain of losing her first gallon of that delicious cow nectar, but I did my best.
That was years ago, but I can still see her opening that brand new jug. Ahhhh!
