Earth Hour

Earth Hour 2012 will take place on March 31, 2012 from 8:30pm to 9:30pm.

In February, Earth Hour launched its 2012 campaign, “I Will If You Will”, with the intention of engaging its growing global community to go beyond the hour and coordinate their efforts publicly through Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and email. Using a dedicated YouTube platform, IWIYW asks Earth Hour's digital community to inspire people from all corners of the globe to take sustainability actions, and to share their commitment to the environment with their own social media networks.

Executive Director and Co-Founder Andy Ridley said, "Earth Hour’s challenge is no longer to connect people; the challenge is to offer a reason to connect. Any movement of change begins with symbolism - it’s a needed step to prove enough people care about an issue. Earth Hour is past the beginning now, and lots of people are switching their lights off every year in March. We’re now at the stage of taking it beyond the hour."

Youtube, following the previous year's example, changed its logo and added a switch on/off feature near the title of each video, so that users can change the background color from white to black.

Further proof of Earth Hour's change in direction came when it was announced its global headquarters was moving from Sydney to Singapore. A launch event took place at ION Orchard on February 20, where it was announced that the move was supported by Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB).

Animator Glen Keane Resign From Walt Disney Studios

Glen Keane, who has worked nearly four decades as an animator at the Walt Disney Studios, has resigned to pursue new toon projects.

Keane is best known for overseeing the animation for the title characters in "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin," "Pocahontas," "Tarzan," as well as Beast in "Beauty and the Beast," and Rapunzel in "Tangled." His credits also include "The Rescuers" and "Pete's Dragon."

The Mouse House confirmed the departure of the animation vet.

"After an incredible 38-year career as an animator, storyteller, and filmmaking pioneer with Walt Disney Animation Studios, Glen Keane has decided that the time has come to take the next step in his personal exploration of the art of animation," the company said in a statement. "As much as we are saddened by his departure, we respect his desires and wish him the very best with all his future endeavors."

Keane alerted studio co-workers of the move in an email Friday, in which he called Disney his "artistic home," but after "long and thoughtful consideration," decided there are "endless new territories to explore." He paid tribute to the veteran Disney toonsmiths, including some of those who Walt Disney famously dubbed the Nine Old Men, for schooling him.

"I owe so much to those great animators who mentored me -- Eric Larson, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston -- as well as to the many other wonderful people at Disney whom I have been fortunate to work with in the past nearly 38 years," he wrote. "I am convinced that animation really is the ultimate form of our time with endless new territories to explore. I can't resist its siren call to step out and discover them."

A Song of Ice & Fire Novel Series

George R. R. Martin. Martin

A Song of Ice and Fire is an ongoing series of epic fantasy novels by American novelist and screenwriter George R. R. Martin. Martin began writing the series in 1991 and the first volume was published in 1996. Originally planned as a trilogy, the series now consists of five published volumes; a further two are planned. In addition there are three prequel novellas currently available, with several more being planned, and a series of novella-length excerpts from the main Ice and Fire novels.

The story of A Song of Ice and Fire takes place in a fictional world, primarily on a continent called Westeros but also on a large landmass to the east, known as Essos. Most of the characters are human but as the series progresses others are introduced, such as the assumed-to-be-extinct cold supernatural Others from the far North and fire-breathing dragons from the East. The series is told in the third-person through the eyes of a number of point of view characters, 31 by the end of the fifth book.

There are three story lines that become increasingly interwoven: the chronicling of a dynastic civil war for control of Westeros among several competing families; the rising threat of the Others, who dwell beyond an immense wall of ice that forms Westeros' northern border; and the ambition of Daenerys Targaryen, the exiled daughter of a king who was murdered 15 years earlier in another civil war, to return to Westeros and claim her rightful throne.

The "Ice and Fire" series has been translated into more than 20 languages. The fourth and fifth volumes reached the top of The New York Times Best Seller lists in 2005 and 2011.[1] Overall, the series has sold more than 15 million copies worldwide.One of the excerpt novellas won science fiction's Hugo Award. The series is the basis of a great number of derived works, including the HBO TV series Game of Thrones, a comic book adaptation, a card game, a board game, a role-playing game and two video games. It also has been ranked #5 on "NPR's Top 100 Science-Fiction, Fantasy Books" list.

Marvel ReEvolution

If you are a comic book fan, you certainly know the Marvel name as the publisher behind the most iconic super heroes in the world. The company was at SXSW this week talking about some of its new products that will be coming. At the show, Marvel is talking up what it calls the Marvel ReEvolution. The goal of this is to bring print and digital media together for a new and unprecedented comic experience.

The first part of his plan includes Marvel Infinite Comics, which is a new comic book format along with Marvel AR. Marvel AR is the first augmented reality app from a comics company. The app and Marvel Infinite comics will launch together on April 4 when the first issue of Avengers vs. X-Men is published. The Infinite brand will use tablets and smartphones as the canvas for telling the comic stories. Marvel promises to take advantage of new technology while maintaining what fans expect from the medium.

The Marvel AR app is powered by Aurasma and will be offered for Android and iOS devices. The app will work in conjunction with special comics that have the Marvel AR logo on them. When users scan Marvel AR product codes, they will get exclusive content, including new footage, the ability to hear from creators, and catch up on past events. Since Marvel is calling the app augmented reality, it would seem the content will play over the top of the product rather than working like a QR code and simply linking the user to online content.

The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games takes place after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem. Panem consists of a wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly Appalachia.

As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised event in which the participants (or "tributes") must fight to the death in a dangerous outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one remains. The story follows 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th annual Hunger Games in place of her younger sister, Primrose. Also selected from District 12 is Peeta Mellark, a baker's son whom Katniss knows from school, who once gave her bread when her family was starving.

Katniss and Peeta are taken to the Capitol where their drunken mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, victor of the 50th Hunger Games, instructs them to watch and learn the talents of the other tributes. They are then publicly displayed to the Capitol audience in a televised session with interviewer Caesar Flickerman. During this time, Peeta reveals on-air his long-time unrequited love for Katniss. Katniss believes this to be a ploy to gain audience support for the Games, which can be crucial for survival, as audience members are encouraged to send gifts like food, medicine, and tools to favored tributes during the Games. The Games begin with 11 of the 24 tributes dying in the first day, while Katniss relies on her well-practiced hunting and outdoor skills to survive. As the games continue, the tribute death toll increases. A few days later, Katniss develops an alliance with Rue, a 12-year-old girl from the agricultural District 11 who reminds Katniss of her sister Prim. The alliance is short-lived: Rue is killed by another tribute, whom Katniss shoots through the neck with an arrow before comforting Rue as she dies. At Rue's request Katniss sings to her, then spreads flowers over her body as a sign of respect--and of disgust towards the Capitol.

Supposedly due to Katniss and Peeta's beloved image in the minds of the audience as "star-crossed lovers", a rule change is announced midway through the Games, stating that two tributes from the same district can win the Hunger Games as a pair. Upon hearing this, Katniss searches for Peeta and eventually finds him wounded. As she nurses him back to health, she acts the part of a young girl falling in love to gain more favor with the audience and, consequently, gifts from her sponsors. When the couple are finally the last two tributes, the Gamemakers reverse the rule change in an attempt to force them into a dramatic finale, where one must kill the other to win. Katniss, in the hopes that the Gamemakers would rather have two victors than none, retrieves highly poisonous berries known as "nightlock" from her pouch and offers some to Peeta. Upon realizing that Katniss and Peeta intend to commit suicide, the Gamemakers announce that both will be the victors of the 74th Hunger Games.

Although she survives the ordeal in the arena and is treated to a hero's welcome in the Capitol, Katniss is warned by Haymitch that she has now become a political target after defying her society's authoritarian leaders so publicly. Afterwards, Peeta is heartbroken when he learns that Katniss' actions in the arena were part of a calculated ploy to earn sympathy from the audience. However, Katniss is unsure of her own feelings, and realizes that she is dreading the moment when she and Peeta will go their separate ways.
