Il Capitano x reader | 16+ | 1.8k words

Description: Perhaps if Capitano searches long enough for reasons to explain his actions, he might just find something he’d rather not see.

Important note: This story can be read as having a dark, possessive twist, or it can be wholesome. It’s up to your own personal perception. What Capitano does makes sense within the context of the story, but he also has a protective streak.

Reader specifications: None- you are seen as “small” BUT this is only in comparison to the the typical Fatui npcs and Capitano himself.

Character specifications: None. Probably OOC if you’re reading this quite a while after it’s been published.

Tags: In second person but basically Capitano’s POV, pining, Capitano is bad at feelings, fatui soldier reader, military setting, Arlecchino makes a brief appearance

I am 16+, have read the tags, and consent to seeing the content of this fic [yes ⬇️] [no ↩️]

You truly weren’t meant for war.

Capitano knows this better than anyone. You can put on a brave face as much as you like and grip the hilt of your sword with unwavering ferocity, and to him, you would still never be ready for it.

He doesn’t know why he keeps you around.

You’re a straggler of sorts, taken randomly into his subordinates because there was a free space. He can’t spar with you like he does with some of his more experienced soldiers- he’s certain he’d break the majority of your bones within the first five minutes. Field medicine… he should arrange for some training in that department and maybe then you’d be of more use to him. Anything to keep you from clogging up the training of his soldiers, let alone the front lines.

And yet, Capitano does nothing of the sort.

Maybe it’s because he likes seeing you around. Maybe in a mean way. The fact that he keeps someone yet to obtain a delusion amongst his strongest soldiers is laughable. You barely finish the massive portions offered to you and your fellow soldiers, and yet your stomach grumbles when the field rations aren’t enough. It takes you a little longer than everyone else to wake up properly in the morning, but you like to watch the sunrise on days off. You require far more specific conditions to grow than the others. Every day, it feels more like he’s watching thorny weeds tower over a withering daisy.

You should have been uprooted long ago. Sent to Pantalone to file his papers. Sent to Arlecchino to organise records. Sent to Sandrone… no. No. Truthfully, Capitano wouldn’t dream of it.

There’s something special about you, even if you’ll never quite fall in line with what he demands of a soldier. And he’s never given anyone special treatment before if he believes they aren’t worth investing in. He watches you and your confused expression, staring down at your now more appropriately-sized meal and comparing it to the rest. He has the night wardens turn off the lights in your room half an hour earlier than everyone else. You’re so horribly human, he just can’t help himself. Does he truly believe with these small changes will help you rise to the top?

No. There has to be another reason. Maybe, just maybe, he likes seeing you. Why else would he be so intent on keeping an eye on you?

Maybe it’s because your presence feels suspicious. Whoever, wherever you came from is testing him to see how long he would tolerate having you in his legion.

He had watched you slip out of your room late at night once- well, it wasn’t late late, but you didn’t know that- and listened after you walked by his office, hearing the double doors to the bathrooms shut. If you took any longer than ten minutes, he would go to investigate himself. He would’ve loved to catch you in the middle of some inappropriate behaviour, if just to see you squirm in the middle of his office as his far more imposing presence stood across from you. But you didn’t take that long, only five minutes had passed on the clock when the bathroom doors reopened. He thought you sped up as you walked by his office. Ah, a pity. He briefly indulged the idea of having a bathroom pass- no, he wouldn’t want to upset or patronise the other soldiers and you would catch on if he only applied it to you. And besides, the only thing it would’ve accomplished is seeing you in his office. He’d realised his efforts were better directed at the small changes that didn’t seem like his direct interference. He noticed you were growing something of a caffeine dependency lately, so he’d have to find a way to discourage that.

Monitoring you is just common sense, isn’t it? At first, he had been keeping an eye on you for a sufficient reason to get rid of you. During that time, he must’ve found something to hold him back from doing so.

Nature doesn’t know pity. War doesn’t know pity. Considering war his nature, Capitano has never known it either.

He doesn’t pity you. A good gardener doesn’t pity the plant that fails to grow. They account for their errors, they test the soil, they try harder and have patience. He’s merely offering you more hospitable conditions, in order to direct you further to some ideal of “usefulness”.

(He doesn’t know what that means. In turn, he doesn’t know when you’re ever going to truly meet that definition to the fullest extent that you can.)

Some of it is more personal. He can toy around with your clothes considering you’re the only person in the camp that needs sizes that small- your genetically engineered comrades have an easier time and more choices whilst you need to suck it up. If your leather gloves go missing and the only substitute is wooly mittens that make handling a weapon ten times harder… well, you’d rather struggle a little than get frostbitten, surely?

(It’s… cruel. He takes the opportunity to hand the gloves back to you on the training field. When he calls your name, you jump up, shivering, and some of the other soldiers are already watching. It’s like you’re expecting him to yell, struggling to meet the gaze behind his helmet with your own, wide-eyed stare. He merely unfurls his clutched hand to reveal the gloves. You’re very grateful, albeit somewhat embarrassed. Later, he thinks about your shiver, your exposed neck. Maybe he should’ve told you to put a scarf on.)

It becomes more like a hobby to him. And it feels like a sin, contradictory to his very sense of self. To actively weaken one of his own soldiers so he can appease something deeply selfish inside of him. To excuse you from certain training regimes, to have you relay messages back and forth and make you study strategy as the other soldiers hone their skills. Yet, he can’t stop you from attending them altogether. There were times you were out sparring before he could intercept you. Times you had gotten stronger outside of his guidance.

You foolishly want your hands on a delusion despite what it does to everyone else. It’s unfair to keep you here, he knows that. Every day he hopes the gods don’t take a shine to you and neither do the other harbingers. He’s in a situation where he would have to hand you over if it came down to it. The Knave, as blunt as ever, had commented on it the last time she came to him, in need of a few more soldiers for a personal expedition.

“And is that one…” She had said, dragging her gaze to where you were sparring. “A pet project of sorts?”

He had to hand it to you. You’d really grown in agility. It was necessary, considering your only way to survive a fight was dodging. His soldiers weren’t morally bankrupt, they’d stop if you were badly injured. But they tried to see you as an equal to the extent that it was possible, and wouldn’t stop fighting until you were. You had to be fast. You had to jump, and move, and evade.

None of this prevented you from being visually smaller, and therefore weaker, than the rest. No matter how long you managed to keep fighting, you stuck out like a sore thumb.

Though, you provided a nice little exercise in quickening their reflexes.

And something inside Capitano soured at the thought of you having this clear-cut purpose.

“You’re trying to train a spy for once, is that it?” Arlecchino said, her fingers waltzing with a butterfly knife. “I could provide stealth training, if you needed. One of my commanders offers it. It wouldn’t be an inconvenience.”

The Knave was only offering him these favours in the hopes that he would divulge more information. She’s always been greedy. Especially over matters that don’t involve her whatsoever.

“You could say that,” Capitano responded, still not finished looking at you. Arlecchino kept her eyes thoroughly transfixed on the sparring as well. “But I don’t need your help with training, Arlecchino.”

He didn’t want to admit he was unsure of what he wanted to do with you. It’s probably because deep down, he knew there was a purpose, a reason for keeping you around. He can tell what it is. He’s certain he can tell what it is. But until he admits it to himself, he allows his motives to be clouded by a false sense of uncertainty.

Maybe you can tell from the light touches, the massive hand on the small of your back that guides you away from the field.

“Just a protocol.” He reassures as you’re standing in his office. It’s only temporary. Once you get a delusion, you can be like the other soldiers. That makes enough sense. He’s been telling you this for a while, and he checks in with you, offering false reports of obstacles. Delusions are in high demand, you see? It’s a hassle to deliver one to him. You fall outside of the budget. They’re waiting to evaluate if you actually need a delusion. They can’t give out any delusions until testings of a new batch is complete.

He doesn’t need to give you up just yet.

There’s more shame in falling for you than there is in toying with you.

You train hard in the mornings, and resign yourself to running Capitano’s errands and studying strategy in the afternoon. He motions for you in between training and supervising, issues your commands personally and curtly, and only becomes marginally more conversational when you’re in his office with him. His soldiers want to spar with you. He lets them. They’re never really asking for your cooperation, you and the other party are always explicitly asking for Capitano’s permission. He comes out and watches sometimes, or goes to spar with another soldier. In the evenings, you pour out two cups of tea and he lays out the chess board if the filing is complete. You’re improving- you’re always improving- and having you seated comfortably across from him is far more enjoyable than seeing you standing, awkward and nervous, dead centre in his office. The companionship is a soothing balm to his battle scars.

He dismisses you one night, clearing up the chess board that sits atop the numerous sheets of paper beneath it. They’re all old, useless and long-forgotten filings that the cabinet no longer has space for. The only thing left is to go through them personally, and check he hasn’t missed anything important. One letter, newer than the rest and stamped with Dottore’s seal, catches his eye- a snow-white corner peeking out from underneath tattered reports.

He sees your name scattered throughout the text. “Delusion”. The signature of one of Dottore’s subordinates.

And with a few seconds of hesitation, he shreds the entire thing between his fingers, first in two, then in four, until a hundred tiny paper fragments are dappled across his desk and the office floor.

hello pals!! if you follow me for my art then please read!

i’m not gonna be posting art here from now on bc i’ve been having an issue with tumblr tags over the past few months and i’ve kinda given up on it if i’m honest 🤣 my posts will show up in the tags for a good hour then vanish and i’ve left it up to luck everytime (sometimes it stays, sometimes it goes, mostly it goes).

i’ve contacted tumblr staff abt it and they gave the expected answer abt competitive tags and no guarantee that every post will show up in a search/tag so lol

the only platform i’ve had no issues with, algorithm/engagement wise is (shockingly) instagram so if you enjoy my sambucky art, i’m over there as @ sumbacky :-) i’m also v active on twitter @ bunetties too.

thank y’all for reading and have a great day/night 🙏💖

#until further notice at least idk lolol #i’ll still be here lurking n reblogging occasionally tho! #pinned #sambucky #tagging it for organisational reasons but also testing to see if it doesn’t appear like usual lmao #edit: now why the hell did this post stay but not my art posts 💀💀 tumblr u are really smth else

[mbti-ramblings-and-whatnot]

Trying to type characters from books y’all probably don’t recognise

Or you do know them, in which case outside opinions are helpful :) Even if you don’t know the series, I’ll try to give some examples and explain my reasonings so you can correct me if I’m wrong on definitions or if I’m interpreting things in a not so correct way

Today’s edition: The Mysterious Benedict Society I’ll just be typing the main 4 characters

**beware, spoilers may/will be present**

Reynard Muldoon: INTJ

Throw away the stereotypes because Reynie is seriously such a sweet kid, he’s never cold and unfeeling. And yet, he’s still insanely logical, so don’t go telling me he’s a feeler.

Whilst trying to type Reynie, there were several problems I encountered. The biggest of which being whether he had Ni or Ti in his top two functions. The reason Ti came to mind is because Reynie’s often asking lots of questions and trying to figure out “why?”. I know that everyone can ask questions, but one of the defining characteristics of Ti is that it wants to understand things, which often leads it to asking a lot of questions about “why?”. He’s definitely highly logical (which led me to call him a thinker), and Ti seemed (at first) like it made sense. However, if he had Ti in one of his top two functions, he would be a Perciever. And my boy Reynie is anything but. He’s the one everyone looks to when they need a plan. He’s the one who comes up with all the plans. He feels extremely uncomfortable when he doesn’t have a plan. I may not be comfortable with anything else I’ve called him, but I know he’s a judger. So, if he’s a thinker and a judger, he has to have Te. That’s just how that works. Although I see lots of Ti in him, he just isn’t a perceived, and Te does make a fair amount of sense. Then, with that problem out of the way, I didn’t even have to worry about dealing with Ni. I know he’s very perceptive to patterns, which can be seen in a scene very early in the first book. He’s taking a test that had been advertised in the paper for gifted children. If I’m not mistaken, he’s the only one who figured out that all of the answers to all of the questions were inside the questions themselves. Qs 1-20’s answers were in Qs 21-40, and vice versa. Of course they were phrased in a way that you had to be paying attention to catch it, but they were still there. And he’s the only one who caught it. So either everyone sucks at picking up on patterns or he’s just got some really high Ni.

And so, the only part left to figure out is whether he’s a introvert or extravert. This kid spent most of his childhood before the setting of the book completely alienated by the other children in the orphanage, and he didn’t seem to mind it much. He was always happy just being able to be by himself in the library, reading a nice book by himself. Although he does greatly cherish his friendships as the novels progress, he still very much feels like an introvert to me, at least.

So, putting it all together, we get INTJ! Feel free to start friendly debates in the comments/reblogs/tags, I’m happy to hear anyone else’s thoughts if they think anything else! Just please keep it respectful!

Constance Contraire: ENTJ

Very similar to Reynie, I just realised… oh well.

I’m not so positive about much else, but Constance is pure Ni. Her level of Ni makes Reynie look like he wouldn’t be able to notice the pattern in a sequence of circle, square, circle, square, etc. I mean, oh my gosh… just… pure Ni right here. For those of you who are unaware, this book series is focused on the adventures of four children, all who are gifted in different ways. Constance, despite the fact that she advanced very quickly for her age (she was 2 in the first book (I think) and was still able to participate in extremely important ways to things that were going on), is essentially hypersensitive to patterns. Like, she could be in a room and someone could be walking quietly down the hallway and she’d know exactly who it was and where they were, just by picking up on sound or whatever it is. Her brain so effortlessly picks up on all sorts of patters without her even knowing it, which feels a ton like Ni to me. My only issue with this is she doesn’t feel like a judger, she doesn’t appear to me as someone who’d care much at all about organisation or plans, but Ni is dominant or auxiliary only for judgers, and I’m not going to argue with that.

The rest of what I have is only assumptions, and I’m open to hearing other opinions.

I think I heard somewhere (a Frank James video?) that, for example, people whose dominant function is a perceiving function (Ni, Ne, Si, Se) would more often come home from work or school or whatever and, when asked how their day went, they would talk more about the things that happened versus the people and interactions/whatever was going on with them, and the opposite for people whose dominant function is judging (Fi, Fe, Ti, Te). Constance, to me, feels like the kind of person who would come home (or wherever home was at the moment) and complain about how stupid everyone seemed all day and how dumb everything they did was. This would mean her dominant function would be her judging function, which would have to be extraverted if her other highest function is introverted. So she’d then be an extravert. You could also make the argument that if she were talking with Mr Benedict (someone she cares an insane amount about), for example, she’d talk about all the cool things she did. But, I still feel that in most scenarios this wouldn’t be the case, so I stand by what I decided on above. There’s even the argument where (completely ignoring everything I’ve said above, just focus on Exxx vs Ixxx right now) she lived alone in the storage room of a library for who knows how long (several weeks? months?). That definitely feels introverted to me, but it could also be irrationality and fear keeping her down there. I don’t know, other thoughts are helpful.

The last thing we need to figure out is whether she’s a feeler or thinker, or in other words whether she’s an Fe or Te dom. To me, Constance doesn’t seem to care much about what other people want. She’ll steal your ice cream when you aren’t looking, when you’re playing the steal/share game (I don’t feel like explaining it, so for your reference it is described in the first chapter of “The Mysterious Benedict Society and the Prisoner’s Dilemma” (aka the third book)) she’ll choose steal because she wants the other people (her friends) playing to have to suffer the consequences, she just doesn’t seem to care much about caring for others. So this would leave her being a thinker, which although I don’t think I’d necessarily call her logical, she is just a little kid and she really doesn’t feel like a feeler.

So, putting all that together, she’d be an ENTJ. Other opinions are welcome, I’d love to talk about it!

Kate Wetherall: ESFP

I wanted to call her an ESTP (and she might very well be one), but I’ll stick with ESFP for the purposes of my explanations

Total Se dom, I’m not even going to argue about that. She has insanely good spacial awareness and is very much a hands-on person. One of her special gifts is that, just by looking at something, even for just a moment, she can tell you exactly how long it is. No doubt about it, she’ll know. Once she was down in a storm drain (? I think it was a storm drain) to help a girl get the pencil she’d dropped down there. Despite the fact that it was probably super dark down there, she knew exactly how deep the crack the pencil feel down was. She’s high energy, always looking for adventure, very extraverted. I’m not sure what else to say, but man does she have high Se. At this point a lot of it’s just a feeling I get, but I trust it.

So, if she’s an Se-dom, she has to be an ESxP. The only two options from here on forth are ESTP and ESFP, and for some reason I’ve settled on ESFP. I don’t think she’s super logical, she sort of feels like a feeler… not sure…

I actually have no idea if she’s an F or T, so if any of you know the books, I’d appreciate some assistance!

-

George “Sticky” Washington: IxTx

No idea with this kid, I also haven’t thought too much about his… nothing seems to jump out to me as STICKY except for introvert… but that’s not much to go off of…

He doesn’t seem to be very social, he seems like he’d be perfectly happy to spend less time around people (aside from the three people above, they as a group are inseparable, it tears them apart inside to be apart from one another for too long).

I call him a thinker, but I wouldn’t argue if you called him a feeler.

I really have no clue with this kid, assistance would be appreciated!

The Ghost Comics: A Timeline 2

This is the same timeline, but this time I Have Opinions About Things. It's under cut because it's as long as the last one, the whole torture theme that was so imperative to the comics being something that not everyone wants to read and because some of you really like the comics and I get very sarcastic about the plot holes.

Unspecified time: Riley (age 8) is taken to a punk gig by his father. His eyes are brown despite being the most cerulean orbs to ever have existed in the One True Divine Canon of the Actual Game. He witnesses his father having sex with a woman. He either murders her, or causes her death through negligence. Also, despite Riley being voiced by famous Cockney actor and Eastenders royalty Craig Fairbrass, Riley is inexplicably living in Manchester.

January 2003: Riley visits his mother after an eighteenth month absence. For inexplicable reasons, he is wearing dress uniform.

March 2004: Riley confronts his father at a punk club night in Manchester, tells him not to come home and they fight. For inexplicable reasons, he is wearing dress uniform and a red beret, despite the SAS having worn beige ones since the 1940s. I mean, it's not even like they are the original maroon that they were at the inception of the regiment, which I could kind of forgive, they are actually red. He extracts his brother from wherever he is staying and takes him to rehab.

June 2006: Tommy Riley gets married.

Early October 2009: Riley gets orders to join a US led anti-drugs task force. Two previous unsuccessful missions of this task force to assassinate a heroin smuggling cartel leader in Mexico are mentioned.

13th October 2009: Major Vernon picks Riley up at Fort Bragg, and explains his concerns about a possible leak (possibly higher up the chain of command) that resulted in the last mission being unsuccessful. He explains he is the only survivor of that mission. In case anyone wants some cultural context " Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas was Number One on the Billboard chart for almost the whole month preceding, so you could really use that for inoffensive pop foreshadowing! It was followed by the Kings of Leon's Use Somebody for the first week of the month which I guess is also Relevant Foreshadowing Content!

October 30th 2009: Sykes dies during the parachute infiltration, due to a parachute malfunction. After the super stealthy parachute infiltration by night, they all check into a local hotel to "blend in" as sex tourists. It is unclear as to why they merely did not drive in like everyone else. They all go out drinking. Riley refuses the advances of a local sex worker, and follows Cumberland to a brothel.

October 31st 2009: He reports to Vernon that Cumberland was using a brothel where members of the cartel were also seen. That night is...

November 1st 2009: Doomed mission into Coahila, Mexico gets going. It is unclear as to what happened to the night of October 31st. Riley enters to target's villa and finds Cumberland gravely injured. Vernon appears, and helpfully explains in villain monologue that Cumberland witnessed him sabotage Syke's parachute, and this has been reported up the chain of command. Presumably Cumberland thought Sykes was a bit of an arsehole, hence why he didn't pipe up sooner. Vernon kills Cumberland but Riley escapes as far as the villa wall, where he is shot by Roba and captured

December 2009: Gratuitous torture.

February 2010: Gratuitous torture, and sexual assault.

March 2010: Gratuitous torture 3

July 2010: Sparks and Washington escape. Riley is buried alive with the corpse of Major Vernon, but escapes.

August 2010: Riley wanders in the desert, across the US border and is repatriated to the UK.

December 18th 2010: Riley appeals to his commanding officer to be returned to active service.

Later in December 2010: Riley visits his family in Salford. Sparks appears. No one considers Spark's appearance at Riley's next of kin's address to be a massive breach of security, or in fact, any sort of concerning event at all, and Riley and Sparks go drinking. They attempt to sexually assault a woman, but are scared off by the sound of police sirens approaching. Riley returns Sparks to his hotel and tries to stab Sparks, presumably this is because he has come to his sense and doesn't want to be some sort of rapist. They fight, and Washington returns, chasing Riley off. Shots are fired. He returns to his brother's house and finds the family murdered.

He phones his commander and is told he is dead as a result of an accident.

Sparks phones and says he's murdered Riley's psychiatrist. Washington sets the psychiatrists house on fire with a grenade, launched from a grenade launcher.

Later in December 2010 (it might be January, who knows?): Riley visits his father in hospital. He leaves before Sparks and Washington appear, and waltz, unchallenged, into a hospital, and murder Riley's father by shooting him at point blank range.

Even later in December 2010 (again, might be January): Riley murders Washington and Sparks who are inexplicably not wanted in connection with the murder of Riley senior. I fear this may be a cultural misunderstanding and possibly the comic writers live in a country so saturated in gun violence that people getting shot in hospitals is a completely normal occurrence, but there's no way that this would not merit major media attention and would have leant absolute credence to any defence Riley was putting about that he was being framed by rogue US agents. He takes Sparks back to his family's house, dumps the body there and sets the house on fire, putting his dog tags on Sparks to confuse the evidence despite mitochondrial DNA testing being a well-used forensic technique.

Unspecified time between December and February: A Colonel Barber, a character we have never met before, requests that the case into Washington's murder is closed, implying high levels of corruption or negligence in the British Military Police.

February 2011: Riley returns to Mexico and kills Robas.

A representative of Task Force 141 appears to pick up Riley immediate after. Presumably tipped off to the event by Barber. Implying that what? They knew Riley would go after Robas, and had the place on watch to see when this occurred, tracked him through the brush until they felt it was suitably out of the way enough to not be noticed? Does it imply that the whole Robas operation (the MK Ultra 2.0 stuff) was organised by the US and they are just waiting to see whether it has worked or not? And it has??

[mutantsrisingrpg]

Congratulations DEAN! You’ve been accepted as JANUS with a FC change to CASEY DEIDRICK.

Dean, first let me say that when I saw an app from you in our inbox I screamed! Now, onto business. The way you created a backstory for Jackson that starts in Las Vegas and ends in Chicago kept me hanging on each and every word. I have to admit, the detail about how there’s only one form of identification with his true face and name was one of my favorite parts! I also loved how you broke name his name - it’s a little detail that went a long way in figuring out who Jackson is. We’re so excited to have you back on the dash and with our Janus! 

Welcome to Mutants Rising! Please read the checklist and submit your account within 24 hours.

NAME/ALIAS: Dean

PRONOUNS: She/her

AGE: 22

TIMEZONE & ACTIVITY LEVEL: GMT, fairly active

In Character Information:

DESIRED ROLE: Jackson Sawyer Raemers

GENDER/PRONOUNS: He/him

DETAILS & ANALYSIS: This is where you show us who the character is to you! The format of this doesn’t matter, whether it’s in bullet points or in para form, and can be as long as you’d like it to be. Feel free to get creative!

The name Jackson is a Scottish name. In Scottish the meaning of the name Jackson is: God has been gracious; has shown favour. Based on John or Jacques.

Sawyer was an English meaning, a occupational name for someone who earned his living by sawing wood, Middle English saghier, an agent derivative of sagh(en) ‘to saw’.

Raemers based on Ramer, The oldest form of the name is “Reinmar” or “Reginmar,” which literally meant “famous councillor.” Always prominent in social affairs.

He’s a walking contradiction, his mind never 100% made on a singular motive and distraction easily pulled him from one thing to the next. Jackson’s chaos is a subtle one, orchestrated solely for his own enjoyment until there’s reason to repel against something or someone. Opinionated in a way in which his argument could be swerved from one side the the other only because he wanted to play devil’s advocate and test other people’s beliefs because it gives him comfort to see witness the grey spots in other’s morals.

A lot of what he does was born from his own insecurities, the voice in the back of his head telling him that we were more worthless than the dirt on the bottom of his shoes. So he hides his true self carefully, uses masks of humour and then hides behind other peoples identities. Carefully packaging away his own demons with false confidence that couldn’t be questioned.

BIO:

Fraud and robberies became second nature, easier than breathing yet essential to keep his head from sinking below the water. It was ironic, how swift his own actions turned from survival to pure indulgence. Disordered violence increasingly becomes addictive due to the way it supplied him with a steady rush of endorphins. The taste of rebellion even more rewarding when it was fuelled by the very mutation that he’d been discriminated for his entire life. He’d unlocked his true potential, a criminal with the ability to morph fluidly from one appearance to the next.

He supposes it was a form of obsession, in contrast to his former self, an upbringing spent repressing his powers to appease his terrified parents who feared the opinion of the neighbourhood than what may become of their son by neglecting a key part of his identity. Living life as an outlaw, adorning himself in tourist t-shirts and tacky dollar store sunglasses was a vast improvement. A lifestyle that saw him existing out of the trunk of his car, mustard stains from a drive-thru burger discolouring the map which lay open on his passenger seat, red ink circling his next destination. He couldn’t picture himself living an average life, didn’t want to be another cog in a well oiled cooperate machine where he’d become just another number sat at a desk until he’d worked up enough hours to pay off a mortgage.

Jackson’s luck fell short, naturally, the second his car pulled into sin city. Las Vegas with the luminosity of neon lights and slot machines was the single worst decision he could have made. Worse than disowning his family, worse than his impulsive decision making when getting tattoos and maybe even worse than the time he’d shifted into the body of a girl scout in some desperate attempt of getting a dozen boxes of thin mints free of charge. But like a moth to a flame, it was the adrenaline that led him to do it. Shifting from one casino owner to the next, he’d committed fraud multiple times each night and donate the remainder of the money after he’d loaded up on hawaiian shirts and sugary snacks, to organisations working against mutant laws and discrimination. Like a modern day Robin Hood, only driving a rusted up old Chevrolet in dire need of a new paint job.

It’s a mixture of arrogance and a blimp in his concentration that causes it to all unravel. Facading as a beer bellied Elvis impersonator in one of the chapels, he’d spent the evening pick pocketing gambling money from unsuspecting intoxicated couples who’d been making poor life decisions. It was easy work which naturally meant he’d become sloppy, the sort of stupidity that lands him an evening in police custody and unable to show any identification on himself other than a driving license that matches his true appearance. Jackson Sawyer Raemers, born November 22nd in the state of Arizona, an individual with an outstanding warrant for his arrest and a suspected mutant. There’s no court trial, no mention of imprisonment or bail. Instead he’s transported overnight to a medical research facility, sedated and left to answer for his crimes in what he would deem to be the pits of hell.

He’s carefully monitored, pumped with medication and used as a lab rat for illnesses to watch how his mutation may help him to recover- if at all. Cut open and stitched together again, regular interviews for insights on his ability and encouraged with rewards to see how far he could push his powers under supervision. Of course those rewards never met anything more exciting than a pudding cup with lunch or a ten minute stoll in the security monitored outdoor area. The three years he’s trapped there he learns a few things about himself and his mutation; no matter how many times they tried they couldn’t replicate it in a tube, even with the ability of cell reconstruction this hadn’t granted him immunity from the common cold and pudding cups definitely weren’t worth the amount effort he’d been putting in for them.

It was entirely by chance that a group of enraged mutants in the facility had grouped together to form a riot. The building caught up in an intentional blaze that triggered cell doors to swing open and allow their occupants to vacate. With such a perfect diversion in place, Jackson takes his opportunity to escape by shifting into the appearance of one of the women who had been treating him. Able to use her fingerprints to unlock the exit, the first thing he does is hot wires the Mercedes in the parking lot and takes off back on the road. They say old habits die hard, much could be said the same for Jackson. How easily he fell back into his old games of identity theft as if three years worth of reflection had taught him nothing.

He returns to what he does best, only now it was personal, the lust of rebellion replaced with spite for those who had been disceting him like a science project. Jackson spends his time examining the faces that appear in the media voice against mutant rights and the research entrepreneurs that treated as nothing more than a paycheck. It’s how he finds himself in Chicago, rumoured a place that was almost a santuary for mutants where he’d be able to meet like minded individuals. And of course, it’s how he finds The Jem Family. He’s still not entirely sure why Damien had taken a liking towards him, his only redeemable factor being that he was reckless enough to not question any given orders in which other members may shudder at. It was an overwhelming sense of finally belonging to something, that he’d mattered outside of his own world and could really make a difference.  

EXPANDED CONNECTIONS:

Luca Medoza: He finds them entertaining, his own laid back rebellion in contrast to something much bolder. Subtle versus out right in your face. He’d spend a lot of time with Luca, telling her what had happened in the latest true crime series he’d been watching and not minding too much when the only thing she picks up on was that he’d spent 10 hours straight binge watching on Netflix again.

Neve Kaplan: She’s the first person in a long time that he doesn’t hide any aspect of himself from. He let her see every aspect of his personality, the gritty details and forbidden secrets he hadn’t dared to share with anyone else. For a while she’d been his home, the missing part of the puzzle that could take the bitterness away and ease his own reckless behaviours, until she’s gone. It still stings when he see’s her, but it’s also a pleasant reminder that at least what he’d felt had been real.

Cain Douglas: He gets pleasure out of his visits and will show up even if the damage is nothing spectacular. He’s absolutely rolled up with a paper cut before and made it out as if he’d lost a limb over texts on his way there. Jackson gets most his kicks from aggravating the hell out of people and with Cain it was almost too easy. Although when he is genuinely hurt it does become a little more difficult of Cain to take him seriously with all the jokes he plays. Sometimes he’ll fake an injury just to get some advice, doctors and therapists are basically the same thing, right?

EXTRA: This section is completely optional. You can add anything here such as: more para samples, headcanons, mock blogs, edits, playlists, etc. Please note that because it is optional, putting everything or nothing in this section will not be a determining factor in your application. This is just for fun!

Tag: https://stereotypicalcancerwrites.tumblr.com/tagged/ch:%20jackson%20raemers

-Jackson is obsessed with snacking, or any opportunity to stuff his face with food really. He’ll take it personal if you go out for a meal and he doesn’t get an invite.

-He can’t function without a morning coffee. 3 shots served black with one spoonful of sugar. He’ll have another at noon because he’s a night owl and eternally paying the price.

-He has a fear of blood, it makes him feel dizzy and he’s absolutely the worst person to have around if you were in a serious injury. He’d pass out before you would.

-Jackson can sing The Element Song by Tom Lehrer perfectly from memory.

-He has a habit of seeing the world from a very cynical perspective and is always anticipating the worst to happen in any given situation. It allows him to feel less surprised or out of control when things do turn sour.

-Jackson has a doberman named Bella, as in Bella Swan- he was trying to be funny

-He doesn’t trust easily and as a result he’s pretty distant. He’s always got a guard up and is very reluctant to let people into his life as most people that have seen the real him have resulted in negative connotation.

-He is allergic to shellfish so if someone wanted to kill him…

-He is always using humour and bad behaviour as a defense mechanism from people getting too close to see the real him.

-He had a stutter as a kid due to low self-esteem. It occasionally comes back when he’s stressed or upset. It’s one of the giveaways for his shapeshifting.

-Jackson is a reckless driver

-He’s obsessed with 1970s music

-Jackson is a hoarder, he collects a lot of pointless stuff like the top of bottle caps, funny slogan tshirts and cheap sunglasses from dollar stores

-He hates having to dress up formally, he feels like it draws attention to him and not in a funny showing off sort of way

-He has numerous tattoos and none of them were what you’d consider ‘good’, they’re shitty or only there to illustrate some pun or memory of a drunken evening. He’s upset some of the scars from the research facility have beheaded a hulahooping stick men on his leg.

ANYTHING ELSE: Did you have any questions or any changes you wanted to discuss with us beforehand?

Not following tendencies

Be unresponsive

Overlooked safety

Here's a list of forty terrible website designs in order to make you pull your hair:

PETER’S BASILICA – VATICAN:

This website has illogical and inappropriate studying areas which makes the readability and accessibility ratio pretty low. also, the UI is poorly designed, making it a bad website design inside the eyes of the crawlers as well as visitors. it's also no longer very responsive, which will increase the browsing time of the customers with out gaining any more records to their necessities. And ready is the maximum disturbing thing when it comes to user experience.

The Glove Club:

This internet site looks ok however with regards to internet design, cinematographic elements are a steeply-priced affair. unfortunately, the abundance of 86f68e4d402306ad3cd330d005134dac pix slows down the loading, and users have to wait to see the content material of the web page. gradual down load pace is a purpose why customers often refuse from browsing similarly. So it turns out that the usage of expressive cinematographic elements doesn’t actually assist, another example of bad web site design.

Adjust:

This website may have a cutting-edge design, first rate user revel in, and nicely-thought-out usability, however the smallest bugs will spoil the whole thing. modify is a case in point. The internet site is top notch and it appears true. however, what does make it a awful web site design is a massive panel that informs about the cookies. It does no longer go away. It sticks all the time, destroying the entire impression and enjoy of the user. it's miles like a sore thumb that keeps hanging in your nerves and distracts interest from the primary purpose of this website.

Hagia Sophia:

The website is ordinary in appears but the hassle is a pop-up. The massive pop-up at the first actual page hides the number one information at the internet site. The website is designed for travelers and may be surfed in more than one languages, however the internet site isn't always properly based, which makes it difficult for customers to navigate. This consumes quite a few time of the users in addition to the crawlers, which in turn will increase your crawling budget giving an extra load in your wallet.

Patimex:

Test the website of the Polish family gasoline producer. The layout and usefulness are quite disturbing. So a touch Satan grilling a sausage is to the factor right here. A navigation menu at the pinnacle and any other one below a bizarre image, three links of different colorations, and even an animated emblem doesn’t really store this internet site. basic, this UI is poorly designed with a purpose to genuinely aggravate a user due to the above bugs, some other instance of horrific web site design.

IBI:

IBI’s authentic internet site could be very close to being called a terrible internet site. but, a few matters maintain it far from being the high-quality. First and essential, it is a video inside the header. although it instantly grabs interest due to its glitch effect, but, this impact ruins the whole lot. It does not undergo any statistics. it's far just a flowery distraction. Secondly, there is no information hierarchy. To push customers down the marketing funnel, you need to lead them. but, right here users are left to themselves. there is no data onwhere to appearance next and wherein to go subsequent?

MINISTRY OF ELECTRONICS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY:

This awful internet site is brightly colourful and informational, which makes it look shiny to the eyes of the users. The stay replace animation on the website hampers the usability and user revel in of the site visitors, making them divert to other structures for the identical information. If that is optimized in an amazing way, the internet site is quite informative and can paintings wonders for website traffic.

Arvanitakis:

This horrific website was already redesigned. over again, this didn’t enhance its looks and value. It has no facts about the services or organisation and nothing about the blessings and traits of its products. best its creators can probable recognize what is the factor of displaying a menu with a stock picture, highlighting popular tags, and developing an additional catalog without a right footer and header. we are able to move forward with out the looks but usability right here makes the difference.

Regal Capital Lenders:

Even though this website is not from 2013, because the above-said Tavern. It feels out of date and a bit lame. Even vivid illustrations and animation do no longer make it better. firstly, the header is just too cartoonish and really a whole lot outdated. even though it features a incredibly meaningful animation, it is nevertheless not convincing. Secondly, the web web page’s subject and surroundings do now not align with the company’s services and brand photograph. It looks as if this terrible internet site is for youngsters, no longer for folks that need a loan. Else, there are issues with the cell model, accessibility, usability, and overall performance as nicely.

Grace Fellowship:

Grace fellowship is a small one-page website based totally on the assignment of assisting the community of their motivational genes. The bad website has decreased content material as compared to other web sites but has too much white space, which gives it a scattered and unprofessional look. The typography of the website may be very terrible in comparison to the general construction of the website. the dearth of records on the page increases the soar-back price and for this reason, users will look for other options.

Toronto Cupcake:

What do you anticipate to look on a webpage that sells cupcakes? usually, such web sites are full of great pics, shining hues, and staggering design factors that trap users into shopping for a few more goodies. but, the owners of this terrible internet site have determined to forget the opportunity to draw new customers thru their net resources. the principle page of Toronto Cupcake is too pale and easy. It doesn’t comprise any useful statistics about the company or the logo. The text inside the footer is just too small to examine and similarly to that, there is a large blank area at the bottom of the page. users will honestly be irritated with the navigation of the internet site and the terrible pleasant of pics. If Toronto Cupcake wants to make its internet site definitely powerful, it should virtually improve its layout and usefulness.

Tavern:

one of the predominant motives why on line homes end up bad web sites is that they stay in the past, like this authentic webpage of a Colorado-primarily based eating place that is still living in 2013. The layout is quiteoutdated. although it has some attractive functions just like the bold, charismatic typeface and a few brutal textures, stillit produces an unfriendly influence. It does now not build believe and credibility, that is a deal-breaker. any other essential flaw is that the internet site isn't always responsive nor cellular-pleasant. it can seem that this fixed boxy format seems desirable on cellphonesbut it isn't always. The enterprise loses a giant proportion of the market simply because of the above motives.

Blue Heaven Cosmetics:

The consumer interface of the internet site is smooth and exciting. on-line users may be impressed by means of its appears. The best purpose which brings this bad internet site here inside the list is the long list of bread crumbs at the pinnacle of the page. It is right to offer beneficial statistics, but it is also really useful to reduce it quick into one of a kind sections, so that you can make it smooth for the users to navigate. It has a name to action button at every level, which makes it appear to be a bit selling type of internet site instead of a simple e-commerce one.

Dom Perignon:

This iconic logo of luxury champagne also hasa lot of flaws. To be more specific, not the product itself but the website that promotes the antique liquids Dom Perignon. This web useful resource has a stylish and fashionable layout, but the principle web page only tells us approximately the face and creative director of the business enterprise, Lenny Kravitz. to check the records about antique wines, users have to indicate their age and region. A key mistake is a form that gives get right of entry to to a part of terrible internet site content material. the overall information about the champagne is available without the age affirmation, but it's miles impossible that once mastering approximately the logo, users will return to the main web page to fill the required shape that gives get entry to to merchandise. This immensely complicates the person path.

Lingscars:

After touchdown on such a horrific website, it's far tough to apprehend whether its layout become chosen deliberately or this is nothing however a fiasco. the colours, textures, animations, and fonts are overly discordant. users are overwhelmed with numerous banners, movies, and links both inside the sidebar and at the page itself. there's certainly no common sense behind the region of not unusual elements just like the icons of social media are within the middle of the principle page, there is a lot of empty space among the content material and footer, while the header is overloaded with photo and textual statistics.

Adam and Everywhere DDB:

Content material-loaded websites are complicated to control. You need to strike a stability among being informative and being organized. As a commonplace mistake, human beings forget this. recall Adam and anywhere DDB and their awful website with visual overload. despite the fact that the net layout is higher, it nonetheless overwhelms. there is an entire bunch of colourful pictures in which each one instructions interest, causing a consistent shift in awareness. Cells are too small that the the front web page appears dense and heavy. additionally, no longer all of them are working. The masonry format may be a life-saver, but it still calls for reducing and sharpening.

Travelocity:

it's far a very exquisite internet site, offering journey tips and applications to the clients who plan to travel around the sector within the most inexpensive feasible ways. The purpose behind the internet site is ideal but is destroyed by means of the development, looks, and layout of the website. the decision to motion menu occupies the entire front web page space of this awful website, hiding the opposite applicable statistics. The icons used are too huge and occupy most of the location for irrelevant information. This wishes to be corrected as a way to make a fulfilling website.

The world’s Worst website:

the arena’s Worst website – that’s the name of a puppy venture of designers who decided to factor out the main layout mistakes to internet site owners and creators round the arena. glaringly, everything is exaggerated right here, and you received’t come upon comparable websites. This horrific web web page collects all possible and not possible mistakes in a single location that's definitely beneficial. The combination of conflicting shades, incompatible fonts, unformatted and unstructured content, underlined links – this isn’t the overall list of things that make this website the worst within the international. no longer to say a navigation menu within the center of the page and primitive animations of various sizes blinking all around the web page! this is the pleasant example of functions no longer to position into your internet site.

The Congress Movie:

The congress film made our list of poorly designed websites due to a whole lot of mistakes. despite the fact that WordPress proudly powers it, it still lacks so much to be called an awesome website. First and predominant, the website became created to get excessive ranks in search engines like google seeing that we can see some unhidden seo text right within the header. Secondly, the layout is lame. there may be no individual, style, or subject matter. 0.33, there is not sufficient content. sooner or later, it does now not have right navigation or seek. In nutshell, the internet site was created not for humans however for search engines like google and yahoo. Google considers such projects as bad websites, so will we.

My US:

This bad internet site has major white spacing problems which carry it to this very list of awful websites. it is full of information but isn't segregated well, which makes it appearance all cluttered and nasty. The typography used at the internet site varies in size and shapes at every degree, makings it confusing for the crawlers while indexing the crucial content material. it's miles advisable to apply heading tags at every stage to assist the bots to move slowly and index your internet site for ranking functions.

The Big Ugly website:

Designers deliberately created the massive unsightly internet site to show all the horrors of out of date design and negative usability. this is a exquisite example for those who consider that the relaxation of net assets aren’t unsightly and inconvenient enough to be blanketed on this evaluate. you'll in no way find the navigation here whereas huge and beneficial animations, unappealing fonts, underlined textual content, and banners are everywhere. To reduce an extended story brief, this website is only a mess.

GAO:

That is any other government website in our collection. This time we are going to consciousness on the legitimate website of the U.S. government accountability workplace. It positions itself as a information portal. at the same time as the internet site works for laptop customers, with regards to mobile and pill visitors, it fails for the reason that group has forgotten to make it mobile-pleasant. extra often, it is not even responsive since the two-column structure remains the same irrespective of the screen length. As a result, it's miles a actual nightmare to browse this awful website to your mobile phone. As for accessibility, there are missing opportunity texts, empty hyperlinks, low evaluation, and even suspicious hyperlinks.

Federal Trade Commission:

Apptivation is one of the web agencies that are developing packages for clients. The opposition on this industry is hard therefore, you may’t have enough money to look vintage. but, this is not the case of Apptivation since it seems that the team does no longer observe the trends in any respect. The design is clearly outdated. however, it is fully unacceptable to apply tool mockups that are dated back to 2014 to promote your services. the first impression is ruined, so does the overall one. Ignoring cutting-edge developments can turn any online portfolio into a horrific internet site.

Gates And Fences:

Gates and Fences have been constructed via an over-enthusiastic man or woman who wanted to infuse all the statistics of the world below one roof. it is a website that provides gate constructing and fence constructing services for homes and workplaces. It does now not have a special menu or web page bread crumbs to help the users navigate on the internet site without problems.the main purpose for it being here at the horrific websites list is the immoderate content material on the internet site. The touch information are displayed proper on the top, which hides the call of the website.

Hipmunk:

Hipmunk is a brief one-web page website. it's miles a luxurious journey and logistics business enterprise, providing deals for the excellent hotel, flights, and motors all through travel sessions. The layout is not at par with the others within the marketplace because it showcases the decision to movement form, as soon because the consumer enters the internet site, leaving no space for discovery and expertise the organisation and its services in a real sense. additionally, it has a testimonial phase inside the center of the website, which once more makes it appear like the website is simply specializing in conversion and not on providing relevant data to the customers.

Studiomix:

StudioMix is a medium-sized health club workout website with a uniqueness in San Francisco. What brings it right here in the listing of terrible web sites is the bulky name to movement as well as the tangled footer of the internet site. The design adjustments the whole cause of the internet site as in preference to showcasing it as a fitness know-how-driven platform; it's miles entirely portrayed as an commercial platform. also, regulate to Alt Tags, the content is displayed within the written form below the web page bread crumbs, which makes it appearance awkward in addition to takes away space for essential records.

Stack change:

Stack alternate has an awful start. It states the question and answers of the network on the top of the homepage, which must really be in the understanding or distinctiveness section beneath the web page bread crumbs or menu. As quickly as we scroll down, we see an entirely separate a part of FAQS that long till the cease of the internet site. This awful internet site has a slow loading velocity compared to other web sites, which makes the internet site get better price very excessive.

Sports LED Panels:

The official internet site of the agency that sells sport LED panels appears fairly updated. but, nevertheless, it can’t be referred to as a super website for some actual motives. firstly, there is an excessive amount of interactivity. each detail is rotating, shifting, and flipping. There are even sounds and, the parallax is overly completed. The interface reminds a flash website generation that became popular 10 years in the past. Secondly, the links do now not paintings immediately. now and again you need to click twice or thrice to set off them. Thirdly, there are irregularities within the format. despite the fact that the website appears and works well on small monitors, some flaws make it a awful internet site.

MIT Centre for Advanced Visual Studies Special Collection:

web sites of universities and governments are notoriously well-known for being outdated or the use of design solutions that nobody uses. The respectable website of the MIT middle is a consultant instance horrific web sites. although a few eccentric people may find it amazing because of offbeat answers, nonetheless, in relation to the normal crowd with a quick attention span and choice to find information as speedy as feasible, it is able to become a actual challenge. the primary flaw of this awful website lies in overdoing parallax. The latter is a powerful device in terms of creating an attractive person experience. but, with super strength comes first rate responsibility. And whilst you overdo it, you may grow to be with a bad website and bad user experience.

Industrial Painter:

even though Joomla-stimulated interfaces had been popular a decade ago, nowadays, they are mauvais ton. The actual deal is, this outdated structure makes it difficult to paintings with web sites now not simplest on huge computer systems but also on small monitors which includes mobile phones and drugs. The format stays the same all of the time. The font length isn't always adjusted to small screens, and the evaluation ratio is minimum. even though you may locate facts, nevertheless this isn't the best you expect from a present day internet site.

MGBD Parts and Services:

even though this horrific website seems like a large development to the previous one, the reality is, it’s not. it's miles the same horrible internet site as featured before. pix hurt the eyes. not simplest do they overwhelm right off the bat, however in addition they destroy readability making navigation difficult. Coloring is simply too severe. As for assessment, most people of essential factors like navigation and hyperlinks lack it. To make matters worse, running animation makes it hard to concentrate at the content material.

PNWX:

PNWX is an reliable website with a present day catalog of Pacific Northwest X-Ray Inc. it's miles a real internet site, and it is quite tons alive. even though it is dated returned to 1997, that could be a quite stable age, however it does not summon any appreciate. The deal is when you have a awful internet site, nobody can shop your popularity, even you have the nice builders in the global. even though the homepage functions a search input, classes, navigation, and some beneficial hyperlinks, it still scares away customers rather than luring them in. The most effective way out is to make a complete makeover and enhance consumer enjoy, search engine optimization, and performance.

Gulla’s Arrestling:

With the sector going loopy over police brutalities in certain countries, this bad internet site attracts in brutality in web site design. It looks and feels a long way from expert, and the content material is really below general. it is glaring that besides for the fashion designer, all people knows the importance of a “title” tag in seo. The worst issue is that the registration form for the imminent conference is a PDF. so that you can't edit it online. You want to download it and mail it. And the website does now not have an incorporated charge pathway, because of this you need to make the credit score card bills over a name or the usage of your phone.

University of Advancing Technology:

the moment you pay attention Advancing and era together, you anticipate a website as a way to inspire awe. nicely, some distance from awe, this inspired worry considering the graduates so that it will be made from the college. if you are having access to it from IE then it’s easy to question your internet connection pace. however in reality, it's miles quite ugly. you can hardly ever find any data you are searching out on this horrific website and do no longer be amazed if the home page takes approximately five seconds to start loading.

Paradise with A View:

The pix on their domestic web page are of diverse sizes, and the fonts end up regularly smaller as you scroll down the page. The rainbow colours in each level of the content material do now not assist a great deal either. Flashing texts in peculiar fonts, non-responsive templates and squat navigation alternatives located within the center of the home web page will actually make you rethink what Paradise is meant to look like. while you are about to ebook a vacation your body and mind are crying for some a great deal-wanted peace. however a unmarried visit to the bad website is enough to rob you of your last bit of calmness.

Ugly Tub:

well, as a minimum the call of this internet site sums our views efficiently approximately their format. It’s provokingly random and stressful distribution of statistics will make you believe that a kindergarten kid can absolutely layout a bad website like this. So abnormal and newbie improvement can lead to disasters.

Bolen Report:

there may be a manner right here so as to learn the way antique newspapers have been edited. Or higher yet, what layout designs the information international beginners could have had rejected. Going black and white is also an art, despite the fact that black and white are not taken into consideration as colours. it is the antique Bolen document website constructed on Microsoft FrontPage. as it seems a few human beings genuinely don’t research from their old mistakes.

Rudgwick Steam show:

This you possibly can cross down the course fabric of pinnacle snap shots and net building institutes as a case look at on what significantly must no longer be executed. It’s an acute case of a language barrier, with the least amount of heed paid to all that meets the attention. similar to we have no concept what we're doing on their bad website, they don't have any concept what they may be doing on the internet both.

Cloud9 Walkers:

The worst instance of creativity block may be visible proper on this terrible internet site. including a history picture with a cloudy sky for a website known as cloud nine is certainly terrific. If in any respect including one had been extremely important, because it appears, a smarter, pleasanter image would have changed the sport for the better. Or not, like they say, lots goes into constructing a structure and nearly not anything into breaking one. And this one’s been long broken.

Great Dreams:

This one comes bearing as lousy a layout as you can still imagine, simplest worse. It’s possible they experimented with thoughts whilst growing the website after which left all the ones experiments- like a unmarried photo of a painting, then a small collage of snap shots and paintings, followed with the aid of a massive college of ghastly pics, ending in a sequence of solo photos- once they got bored and dumped the idea on the net for humans to waste their time on when they couldn’t take again theirs.

In nutshell, after going through all of the above mistakes, allow us to take a look at what functions a great website have to have:

How To Have A Virtual Hen Do

Do not let lockdown hinder your celebrations. I repeat, do NOT let lockdown hinder your celebrations. Who is up for being virtually reunited with their best girls, playing some hilarious games and dancing until they fall asleep on their sofa? I see your hands up. Here we go…

Virtual Hen Do

Over 12,000 of you have watched our zoomcast about how to throw a virtual hen do whilst in lockdown. Not sure what a zoomcast is? Let me explain. Charlotte and I usually put out a fortnightly podcast for you all but it felt a little bit strange to us to keep producing it through lockdown. We like to be together, the conversation flows much better when we’re face to face and so instead of us recording via zoom and then putting it out as a podcast, we thought we’d go ahead and share our recordings with you instead and sharing them on our IGTV. Putting faces to voices seemed like a good thing to do at this point. So, we put our best hairbands on (Charlotte has several hilarious ones as you will see if you watch the episode), got a cocktail (or wine in a flamingo glass) and got chatting about how to throw the nest virtual hen do ever.

How To Have A Virtual Hen Do

So first things first, you need to decide on what software you’re going to use to host your event. A few options favoured by the team are Zoom, Google hangout, House Party, Whatsapp, Facebook messenger and Facetime. Zoom will give you 45 minute sessions for free. If you want one continual session that is longer than that you will have to pay – or you can jut restart your session again. You can record your zoom calls too so you can keep the memories forever. You can also have up to 1000 participants on a zoom video call with 49 guests showing on screen at any given time. If you’re feeling mega popular this might be the one for you. The other apps mentioned will only allow you up to about 10 people max per call. It’s a good idea to use a platform that you can have on a tablet or laptop or something with a bigger screen than your phone so that you can see everyone clearly.

Designate a host to keep the party moving. They can be in charge of sending out invites and overseeing your video call to make sure everyone gets to speak and the night moves at a good pace. oversee it all and make sure everyone gets heard. You host should also let your guests know what to expect during the video call or if there is anything they need to bring along.

Tips For A Great Hen Do In Lockdown

Extend your guest list

You might have friends who couldn’t make your original hen do date for one reason or another. That might not be the case anymore given the current circumstances so if you want to, why not extend those invites back out. The more the merrier right?

Have You Got A Theme?

Wether you have a theme or not this is a great opportunity to get dressed up. What were you planning on wearing to the physical event? Wear it in your living room – heels and all. If you wanted to set a theme try and make it one that your guests can easily sort out – maybe it’s something that most people already have at home, maybe its a colour theme or a ‘starts with the letter…’ theme. You could look at having a hair or make-up theme too if you wanted. If you were going full out fancy dress and everyone already got their outfits then get them on. you’re guaranteed a laugh as each of you joins the call.

Gifts For The Bride To Be

You may have organised for your gorgeous bride-to-be to receive some goodies on the day of her hen do. Maybe you’d organised a bottle champagne for the night or set up some pamper packs to enjoy a relaxing couple of hours whilst getting ready. You can still send this stuff to her. Just make sure you package it safely and remember to socially distance yourself when visiting the post office or you can always arrange for a courier to collect and deliver whilst adhering to social distancing rules.

Break The Ice

Hen dos are often a chance for the bride to bring together her wider friendship groups meaning that lots of different people can be meeting for the first time. This is obviously much easier to do IRL but there are a couple of things you can do virtually so that everyone knows who each other is and to avoid any little clicks forming over your virtual hangout. A couple of our favourite ideas for breaking the virtual ice are:

– Memories. Each member of the hen party shares their favourite memory of the bride-to-be. That lets all the guests know who you are to the bride, why you’re there and also hopefully give them a new story about their friend that they’d not heard before.

– Draw the bride. Each hen draws a picture of how they think the bride will look on her big day and presents it to the group. 1, everyone can laugh at everyone elses terrible drawing skills. 2, It will be fun for the bride to see who gets the closest and 3, it allows your guests to show off a bit of their personality.

– Signature cocktails. Each hen brings along their signature cocktail. The cocktail is given a name that may be losely related to their own (for example mine could be, Becky’s ‘I wish I was French’ Martini). They have to describe the ingredients and hint at their own personality.

Hen Do Playlist

Shakespeare said ‘If music be the food of love, play on.’ We say ‘If music be the beating heart of your party, turn it up louder’.

We couldn’t talk about the perfect hen do without mentioning music could we? It’s so important to keeping the vibe of your party alive. Choose someone (probably the host) to have it on in the background and then towards the end of the party you can crank it up and have a good old dance. Find our hen party playlist here.

Virtual Hen Do Activities

Whether you’re having a low key or a more high energy virtual hen do, we have some great suggestions for activities you can include.

High Energy Hen Do

– Mr & Mrs (or Mrs & Mrs). This traditional game is still hugely popular when it comes to hen dos and we totally get why. It’s fun, you get to learn a bit more about the couple and hopefully it creates some good laughs. It’s still super easy to do virtually. You could record your friends other half giving their answers and share you screen with the party so they can see it play back or, why not forget all the rules and bring your bride-to-be’s other half into the room and get them to do it live, then and there. All rules out the window when it comes to a lockdown hen do.

– Never Have I Ever. Who doesn’t love a game of never have I ever! Not heard of it before, the rules are really simple. Jenny starts and gives a statement about something she has never done before. She says ‘never have I ever…and then something she’s never done’. Anyone at the party who has in fact done what Jenny claims she hasn’t, takes a drink.

For example:

Jenny: ‘Never have I ever skinny dipped’. Cue Fiona and Katie sipping on their pinacoldas trying not to get noticed by the rest of the group.

Lipstincktionary

Split the group into teams and play a funny version of pictionary where you have to draw with your lipstick, using your mouth. We’re talking the old squashed lippy one from the bottom of your make up bag – don’t get your Charlotte Tilbury’s out for this one.

Beer or Prosecco (or gin or vodka or whatever is your favourite) Pong

Position your phone/ipad/laptop at the bottom of your table by the cups and each take it in turns to battle each other and see who the ultimate winner is. You can order a pong set online or you can create your own with a few paper cups and a ball.

Lockdown Dance Party

Post a note through your neighbours door to let them know you’re having a virtual party and turn that music up. Have a good dance on the sofa, on the table, up and down the stairs. Let all that energy out and have a good laugh with your besties.

Relaxed Virtual Hen Do

Film Night

Get a great film on and watch it altogether, gogglebox style. Get the popcorn out and a glass of something you enjoy and spend a couple of hours chilling out. Need some ideas for the perfect virtual hen do film? Here we go…

Bridesmaids (always), Bachelorette, Rough Night, Wedding Crashers, Just Married, Girls Trip, Clueless, Magic Mike, The Five Year Engagement, 50 First Dates, Bridget Jones, SATC, Dirty Dancing. Or if your bride has a favourite film, get that on.

Take Away

Perhaps you had arranged for a really lush meal out for the original hen do. Why not bring that meal in instead and all order a take away. Enjoy dinner with your best pals virtually and have a good natter over a chicken chow mein.

Beauty Tutorials

Choose a really cool or fun beauty tutorial for everyone to try. Maybe you’re trying to replicate a look from your brides favourite contestant from RuPaul’s Drag Race or maybe you’re testing your contouring skills. Whatever it is why not face mask up, give your skin some love and then let lose painting it and see who get the closest to the real thing.

And that my loves rounds up our guide to throwing the best virtual hen do ever. Whatever you decide to do to celebrate your original hen do date we hope you have an amazing time and we’d love to see what you get up to so tag us (@rockmwedding) in your photos and we can share them on our Instagram.

Machine learning & marketing: 5 tips from Jim Sterne

We were honoured to have DAA co-founder and president Jim Sterne join us at the most recent edition of our Digital Analytics Forum event in Paris where he treated our audience to a riveting talk on machine learning in marketing, the topic of his latest book.  

During his presentation (which you can watch below), Jim took us through the rise of AI and the benefits of machine learning for marketers, but also highlighted why the human brain and savvy will always be necessary to complement our computers. And because machine learning has certain particularities to consider, Jim also shared tips on successfully onboarding machine learning into your organisation… catch them below! 

  The 3 types of machine learning 

Before taking any action, it’s important to truly understand what machine learning is and how it can be applied. Jim provided a run-down of the 3 distinct types of machine learning and what they can each contribute: 

First, there’s supervised machine learning, where the computer receives a massive quantity of labelled data to train on, returns statistics-driven results, and receives feedback and corrections (hence the “supervised” aspect). Jim sums up supervised learning as: “I know the answer and I’m teaching the machine. I’m giving it lots of labelled data and lots of examples. I explain, and it listens.” Take image classification for instance, where the computer has “seen” thousands of images of, say, dogs, and has “learnt” which set of features constitute a dog.  

Then there’s unsupervised learning. Like supervised learning, we have vast amounts of data, but on the contrary, we don’t have the answers to train the computer on what’s true or false. So we pour in all our data and ask the system, “Show me a pattern, something interesting, a correlation or an anomaly,” says Jim. And the machine grants our wishes, highlighting curious correlations and relationships between data like “people buy more online when it’s snowing”. But the pitfall to avoid with unsupervised learning is assuming causality where it doesn’t exist. (Does ice cream cause drowning? Watch Jim’s talk below to find out…)  

Lastly, there’s reinforcement learning, where there are no absolute answers – just positive outcomes – and we can reinforce certain results, thereby teaching the machine to optimise. “If the outcome is better, give the machine a numeric reward. If the outcome is worse, give the machine a numeric demerit,” explains Jim. He highlights that for reinforcement learning to successfully optimise outcomes, there are 3 things machines require: 

– immense volumes of data 

– a very specific goal to achieve 

– the agency to act or revise their behaviour after fresh data is fed in 

  Take a moment to consider the infinite potential of an amazingly powerful computer brain which can wrangle a limitless number of dimensions, combinations and possibilities that we as humans cannot even begin to conceive. Who wouldn’t be excited about integrating machine learning into their marketing strategy? 

  Jim Sterne’s tips on machine learning for marketing 

The combination of man and machine talents can lead to great results, but there are a few important things to keep in mind when onboarding machine learning into your marketing actions. Not only will Jim’s advice help you achieve stronger results, but it will also help ensure your machine learning initiatives maintain buy-in and support from your organisation.  

  Set clear, specific goals 

Forget “raise awareness” or “optimise customer retention” – you must be super specific and narrow with your objectives for machine learning to work toward a real result. Proper examples of a specific goal would be “increasing the number of clicks on my ad banner” or “increasing the number of email opens.” Look at what you want to achieve and break it down into multiple concrete actions that machine learning can help you achieve. 

  Temper management’s expectations 

As seen above, even the machine has a learning curve, so your management shouldn’t expect to see amazing results right off the bat. The machine will start with zero knowledge, experience a rather steep and spectacular learning curve, and will then plateau after results have been optimised.  

“Be warned”, notes Jim, “First, [the machine] is a dumb as a rock, then it gets brilliant, and then it just becomes average. So what do you do? Give it a new problem, or fresh data. And then it continues to be an amazing, powerful system.” Be sure to set expectations internally so as not to lose support for your machine learning projects if results seem sub-par at a certain point. And always be thinking about how to iterate on your current project to keep your machine learning systems constantly improving.  

  Data quality is paramount 

If you expect accurate and reliable outcomes from your machine learning projects, you must feed your machines with data that’s equally as complete and trustworthy.  

“When your data streams hit the data lake, that is where the magic happens,” says Jim. “If this is all clean, consistent and reliable, then machine learning can come in and help you find interesting things in your data lake.” 

But for that magic to happen, “you need a data steward watching each data stream,” he notes, to ensure nothing is amiss with tagging and collection. Indeed, while machine learning can do amazing things with quality data, it cannot evaluate or control the quality of the data it’s being fed – human brains are needed to verify that data is clean, accurate, completely, timely, consistent and without bias. (As an AT Internet customer, you’re already in a prime position thanks to the powerful combination of high-quality analytics data and Data Flow to feed your data lake.) 

  Start with the right tasks  

You might have already dreamt up a vast number of project ideas built on machine learning. But certain tasks are better adapted to your computers than others – Jim suggests favouring tasks that are repetitive in nature and low risk, and which involve large amounts of data, such as ranking, sorting, segmenting, clustering, correlating, segmenting, and anomaly detection – these are all activities where machine learning can beautifully do the heavy lifting.  

All that’s left for the analyst to do afterwards is assess the results, determine what looks useful, and continue to explore further. (Take Explorer’s new anomaly detection feature, for example. Powered by machine learning, it alert analysts to suspicious fluctuations which they can then study in more detail.) By allotting the right tasks to machines and humans, both can contribute their talents where they add the most value. 

  Use your human advantage 

Jim’s final piece of advice to was to embrace what makes us different from computers – and what makes us human: our common sense, reason, emotion, empathy and imagination. 

“You need to decide what problem we’re going to solve. You need to decide what data is going to be considered. And you need to decide if the output from the machine makes sense,” he says, adding that thanks to our common sense, we’re easily equipped to run “the smell test” – simply looking at something and knowing that it’s bad, won’t work, or is a poor idea. And despite computers’ brilliance in other aspects, this is something they can never learn.  

“What happens between your ears is astonishing, and that’s what you should make use of the most,” he reminds us.  

“Computers are incredibly fast and accurate… but stupid. Humans are slow and inaccurate… but we are brilliant.” – Jim Sterne 

With all the game-changing developments brought by AI, he says it will be more important than ever to combine human and computer intelligence to build our brands and create systems that can interface with other systems (voice assistants, for example). “Be prepared that marketing is going to change wildly,” he says. “It’s going to get really weird!”

website online overall performance

A notice on keywords

keywords still keep cost however must be used successfully. Many search engine optimization experts don’t hassle putting key words inside the Meta records as Google doesn’t study them anymore.  See the video underneath for Google’s Matt Cutt’s reasoning on why key words in meta facts are more or less omitted via the hunt engine now:

keyword ‘stuffing’ was once a completely not unusual exercise and become a black hat technique meant to make certain that the word related to a organisation become picked up. We’ve all visible the ones articles which are slightly legible as each different word is a keyword. Many properly seo content writers now refuse to write down content where a patron may ask them for a keyword density of PPC, as it lessens the satisfactory of the piece notably.

but, key words do nevertheless have their place to be used with website content material, including blogs, photos and video and PPC/Adwords. nowadays, it’s better exercise to apply similar words for the duration of a piece of writing in addition to the main key-word. Key words also are suitable practice and should be used. It’s additionally critical that these are utilized in Titles and sub-headers as well as in the course of the text.

content material – ascended from King

I’m positive you’ve heard the word ‘content material is king’? that is now not genuine, content material is everything (nicely, quite much). It’s now not enough to stick a poorly written blog up as soon as a month – or worse, use textual content spinners to rejig old content.

content should be:

unique and no longer infringe at the intellectual assets rights of others

quite relevant and useful to your industry and target audience

very well written with right grammar and spelling

For photograph and video should include a name, ALT tag and description and if appropriate, deliver credit score to authentic artist (if the use of innovative commons certified pix for example)

point to the source of studies and fees in which applicable

Giving value for your target market

The great feasible manner you may carry out nice inside the search is by giving price to your target market and preferably, your enterprise too.

This include of:

Having a site that is properly built, plays properly and is capable of getting used throughout platform (desktop, tablet, cell)

producing content that is actionable and include of clean ideas

Having a very good blend of multimedia content, now not simply written

utilising social media so that your emblem is recognizable across all structures and content may be allotted. that is becoming greater critical now greater than ever, social indicators (facebook likes, G +1s, Retweets and many others.) shows that your content is beneficial, as human beings are reading/watching and preferably, sharing and commenting.

It’s additionally well worth citing that your link profile stays important but that that is something that takes time and should be done sensibly and organically. buying links will get you a Google penalty, as will any indication which you might have.

visitor running a blog stays a valid white hat seo method, but it’s crucial that this is approached evidently. because of this you begin guest posting on web sites that are of a similar domain Authority to your personal. in case you all of sudden seem to have plenty of very high fine links to your website, then this appears to Google as if they have been purchased.

Federal government, province investing in Camp Mocking upgrades

Upper VAUGHAN, N.S. — Camp Mockingee in Lower Vaughan is going to have a brand new search for campers to is yr.

Commercial The federal authorities, Province of Nova Scotia, and the Rotary Club of Windsor have at the same time invested in primary improvements to the main building on the camp and will also update a growing older deck. The federal authorities are giving $82,102 towards the mission from the Canada 150 Network Infrastructure Application, that is making an investment in initiatives across us of a.

The province is contributing $15,000 and the Windsor Rotary Club has injected $forty,007 — totaling $137,109 normal.

Andy Kirk, chair of the Camp Mockingee committee of the Rotary Membership of Windsor, Nova Scotia, said those price range will help sustain the camp, which becomes initially founded in 1949.

“This could provide the children and person groups that come here a far greater comfortable eating area,” Kirk stated.

Even as the capability will remain at 100, it is going to be an extra spacious placing.

“The improvements also encompass new washrooms, new unwell bays, a nurse’s room, and a janitor’s room, which may not sound like a massive deal, but it is if you don’t have one,” Kirk said. “it’ll be miles more user-friendly surroundings.romanian government resigns

Kirk stated about 2,000 humans use the camp throughout the one hundred ninety days it’s open every 12 months.

Border Wall Costs Estimated By The Government Are Quite Expensive

At some point of the marketing campaign, Donald Trump expected the price of building a “large beautiful border wall” alongside the united states/Mexico border at somewhere between $8-12 Billion depending on which campaign video excerpt you watch. Have he to know proper? In any case, he is built buildings that now represent NY Town’s skyline – suffice it to mention he is aware of the development enterprise and what’s viable and additionally what isn’t always. Still, it now seems the DHS has placed out a report that doubles that value and doubles the time to build it as properly.

There has been an alternatively troubling article in Reuters International News on February 09, 2017 titled

Special – Trump border ‘wall’ to value $21.6 billion, take 3.five years to construct: internal file,” by way of Julia Edwards Ainsley. The article wasn’t as bias as most of the anti-Trump media has written approximately the actual prices of constructing a border wall, the piece stated:

“The DHS [Department of Homeland Security] report’s expected fee-tag is a whole lot higher than a $12-billion figure stated via Trump in his campaign and estimates as excessive as $15 billion from Republican Residence Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.”

The item noted a three-phase task. The first segment became $306 Million to reinforce the present fence wall

Wherein a few locations it is falling aside, in disrepair or insufficient to hold out even a wayward elephant. The rest of the wall can be greater pricey, with the final section being alongside the Rio Grande, where it is going to be tough to build costing plenty more.

CNN tells us the Donald Trump is naïve and doesn’t recognize how much a wall will fee to build? Oh, and CNN Information anchors might? Please spare me the hypocrisy here, as they call Donald Trump incompetent to estimate a constructing mission for which he specializes.

What has happened here is thrilling, and yes, pathetic.

The left believes that handiest they know how the entirety must be achieved, and no man or woman irrespective of their enjoy and capabilities should in all likelihood know extra than they. We have brewed a left-leaning ideology of conceitedness past perception, from academia to the judicial, and from the political elite to the media – and yet, for the life of them, they can’t discern out how on this planet Donald Trump become elected.

With blinders like that, they will by no means understand, they may never apprehend and that they for all time be confined to their ever shrinking echo chamber, which has 6-walls while you depend on the floor and the ceiling. How much do you observed the ones 6-walls have price The use over the past 8-years? I guess it is the many trillions. Suppose on that.

Information Feedback Loops In Stock Markets, Investing, Innovation And Mathematical Trends

It appears that evidently regardless of how complex our civilization and society receives, we humans are able to cope with the ever-converting dynamics, discover reason in what seems like chaos and create order out of what seems to be random. We run via our lives making observations, one-after-every other, searching for which means – every now and then we are capable, occasionally not, and occasionally we suppose we see patterns which may additionally or not be so. Our intuitive minds try to make the rhyme of motive, but in the long run without empirical proof a lot of our theories behind how and why matters work or don’t work, a positive way can not be tested or disproven for that count.

I’d like to discuss with you an interesting piece of evidence uncovered through a professor at the Wharton

Enterprise Faculty which sheds a few light on information flows, stock charges and corporate choice-making, after which ask you, the reader, a few questions on how we might garner more perception as to the ones things that occur around us, things we look at in our society, civilization, economy and Commercial enterprise world each day. Okay so, permit’s talk lets?romanian government resigns

On April 5, 2017, Know-how @ Wharton Podcast had a thrilling function titled:

How the stock Marketplace Impacts corporate selection-making,” and interviewed Wharton Finance Professor Itay Goldstein who mentioned the evidence of a comments loop among the quantity of facts and stock Market & corporate choice-making. The professor had written a paper with other professors, James Dow and Alexander Guembel, again in October 2011 titled: “Incentives for facts Manufacturing in Markets in which expenses Have an effect on Real Investment.”

Inside the paper, he referred to there’s an amplification records impact whilst Funding in an inventory,

Or a merger based on the quantity of facts produced. The Marketplace facts producers; Funding banks, consultancy agencies, unbiased enterprise experts, and monetary newsletters, newspapers and that I assume even Tv segments on Bloomberg Information, FOX Enterprise Information, and CNBC – as well as monetary blogs structures including Looking for Alpha.

Stock options explained in simple terms

The paper indicated that after a company decides to head on a merger acquisition spree or declares an ability Investment – an instantaneous uptick in information unexpectedly appears from multiple resources, in-house at the merger acquisition organisation, taking part M&A Funding banks, enterprise consulting corporations, target organisation, regulators anticipating a circulate Within the zone, competitors who can also need to prevent the merger, etc. All of us intrinsically recognize this to be the case as we read and watch the monetary Information, but, this paper puts Real-records up and suggests empirical evidence of this reality.

The Dos and Don’ts of Upgrades

When it comes to optioning the residence, the number one query an investor have to be asking themselves upon an acquisition is whether or not or not the option selected will make contributions to the sell-capability of the house, relative to the real price. Glaringly, there may be a factor of diminishing return if one builds a Taj Mahal in a land of tract homes. No matter the urge to head all out and deck the location to the tee, please resist the temptation. Doing so will most effective reduce down to your return. That is in particular crucial given the reality that because it’s far an investment, an funding with an unknown price, it isn’t prudent to position some of the capacity benefit at chance by means of shopping useless design enhancements that are not important.

Greater frequently than not, homebuilders are aware of this vulnerability.

This is Greater than ever authentic for buyers, for whom they may offer a glut of options and upgrades which can be grossly marked up. This kind of economic exploitation gives an profits flow that is fundamental to many homebuilders, such as KB Home, who are notorious for his or her exuberant fee improvements and options. This system is so tricky that their design department is an entire agency of its personal-that’s referred to as KB Home Studio and opponents that of maximum high-give up layout centers.

Now not simplest are those stand on my own earnings facilities, KB Home has a separate enterprise unit with senior vice presidents, AVPs, nearby heads, and so forth., to take care of this organizational monster. The brilliant element about this equipment is that it gives a plethora of design upgrades and alternatives which might be sincerely pinnacle-shelf. The most effective trouble is that you commonly must pay an arm and a leg to get these splendid facilities.download windows 10 free full version

To narrate a story, the primary time I went via a KB Domestic Studio, it became baptism with the aid of fire.

I spent over eight hours in the design center, break up over two days. At $35,000 plus in upgrades, I predicted that it price me approximately $four, especially three hundred an hour to shop in their layout middle. You may see why I was satisfied to get out of there. Preserve in mind also, that you will be required to pay a fragment of the upgrade fees in the form of a deposit soon after selection. That is almost a reality and enterprise trendy. On common, the deposit quantity runs 25 percent to 50 percent and are typically nonrefundable. The outcome of this deposit requirement is obvious, in that it makes it Extespeciallyas an investor, to stroll far from a transaction.microsoft windows 10

Critical Approaches

1.

What is BARB?

BARB, or the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board, is a UK based organisation founded in the early 80s that which gathers data for television ratings to be given out to television companies so that they might better understand the viewing habits of the United Kingdom in and effort to improve the service we receive.

This is achieved through the answers they ascertain from the following five questions.

Who is watching?

Age, race and ethnic background may be contributing factors to what a person may watch.

What are they watching?

This information can be made use of by the show creators to predict what would be the best show to make next or fund more. This may also be useful in knowing what would be good shows to do re-runs of in the long term.

When are they watching?

Television shows that cater to a certain demographic should be timed to be at the most optimal time for viewing. Meaning that a program about building or DIY improvements would be most effectively placed in the evening when the working day has finished and the people whom would be interested enough to watch are available at home.

What are they watching on?

This data may be used to decide how to best format the video being produced.

How did the medium get to the screen?

Know this could help providers know what is the best way to broadcast by finding out which method has the least complaints

How does BARB know who is watching and what they are watching?

BARB has a representative panel of homes that they select all over the UK. Their method for knowing whom is watching is a manual check-in & check-out system. To do this on TV each home on the panel’s TVs are fitted with data recorders and given a remote-like device which the residents of the home use to tell the machine if they are watching or not. For other devices such as mobile smart phones or tablets the check-in is done through software, like apps. The same thing applies though, turn on your option when you enter the room to watch TV or when you view on your mobile device and turn off when you’re finished.

The information of what are they watching is done through audio, this is because pictures of shows have the possibility to have text overlayed, have images side-by-side and be in different perspectives creating difficulty when trying to detect what is being viewed. Audio samples are taken and stored in a digital signal to then be sent off to BARB HQ and compared to a reference library of shows and adverts. This doesn’t always work though; for example, in the case that a show is being ran on multiple channels such as those that offer a SD and HD service, for this BARB relies on the channel placing an audio watermark that human ears can’t pick up but their systems can. Sky customers use a different method because BARB can easily access service information code to detect which channel is being viewed. Additionally meta data tags are now being used for television content distributed through the internet to find out what is being watched through mobile tablets and laptop/computers.

To make sure all the results are accurate and reliable BARB have a dedicated group of data specialists to detect anomalies within, this may be caused by a person not pressing the button on their remote properly or accidentally activating it twice. If necessary the home may be removed from the panel, reasons may include if the data in consistently off or if the home publicises that it is on the panel; for example, posting about it on Facebook.

How does BARB get data to their clients every day?

After having success gathering data from the representative panel, that is what content an individual is watching and what they are watching on, BARB delivers this data and information to their clients so that they can judge how prosperous their work is.

The process is done over-night, beginning at 2 am when homes start to send data back to BARB, this is then weighted - adjusted to represent the population of which the sample was taken. From here BARB’s research agencies scrutinise the reports before they are made available to the public at 9:30 every morning.

The data is given to the clients through an analytics system, which allows them to view and use the information as they please in their own personal ways. There are many of these systems are provided by BARB registered companies, a full list of which can be found on the BARB website.

Each day they provide ratings for all of the previous days viewing, the majority of watching is still to programs at the time they're broadcast, this is called the overnights which include the audiences that record the program and watch it back on the same day. BARBs clients have been able to see data of watched shows up to four weeks after initial broadcasting, this is extremely valuable to the providers when they need to plan schedules weeks in advance.

Difference between qualitative and quantitative?

Qualitative research is mostly research that involves exploring people, exploring people to better understand motivations, reasons and opinions. An example of qualitative research would be going for an interview, sample sizes are usually small and the respondents (potential employee for example) are selected to fulfill a given quota. Qualitative research is needed when numbers and statistics are not enough to give proper insight into a problem or subject.

Quantitative research is used to quantify the qualitative research, rather than showing what the opinions of the people are it shows how many of the people have that set opinion. The sample size for quantitative research tends to be much larger. Making the numbers from a survey or questionnaire, two very popular methods for collecting such data, into understandable and visual formats like charts help to visualise and predict trends. For example Coca-Cola likes to hear that people enjoy the taste of their drink "I like the taste" but that doesn't help them to know when and where to supply it.  Gathering quantitative data on where the positive qualitative results come from is important to project earnings in relation the geographical distribution of the product.

The Jeremy Kyle Show's audience

The Jeremy Kyle Show is a day time TV program airing at quarter past nine each weekday morning in the UK since 2005. Because of its airing time we can assume that its main intended audience is a mixture between the unemployed and single/stay at home parents (although actively appealing to the unemployed would be unethical in my opinion). The shows content would also indicate towards there being a more female heavy audience than male, this is because the show deals with issues such as lying an relationships, both subjects heavily weighted on gossiping, a thing mostly associated with women.

It could also be said that a portion of viewers watch for a comedic value, the show more often than not has guests with ridiculous appearances or stupid motives for being on the show, sometimes a combination of both. The Jeremy Kyle Show is known for having outbursts of rage and silly situations for Jeremy to deal with. Shock value I'm sure has as much to do with why it's viewer base watches as those who watch for the enjoyment of the show. This is similar to the massively popular TV soaps like Emerdale and East Enders each with often far-fetched story arks and shocking conclusions

Thrill and suspense play a large role in other aspects of the show, frequently there will be lie detector tests (although the accuracy of such tests are criticised) and DNA results. These are done after each party has told their story or had their say to drag the show out as long as possible. This further shows that people with less active lives (unemployed and parents) are likely to watch to have a more interesting day.

Newsnight's audience

Newsnight is a weekly current affairs program that specialises in analyses and cross examination of politics and politicians. It airs between half ten and twenty past eleven at night giving the impression that is main focus audience are adults with full-time jobs. Those interested in politics also tend to be upper class, upper class being a result of working.

The way in which the presenters speak is much more formal than most other shows and the way in which they present themselves through dress code speaks to an older audience that are used to the formalities of old media. The channel BBC2 also features shows like Flog It and Eggheads, both of these shows have a similarly aged target audience, if Newsnight was for a younger audience its probable to assume it would be on a different channel.

It doesn't seek to attract audiences through any other means than impartially giving the facts as they are supposed to be unbiased in their reporting. The elder community isn't interested in silly theatrics like you would find on The Jeremy Kyle Show for example.

Watchmen trailer Technical Codes:

Watchmen’s trailer begins with fast paced rotation of logos and tense music to create suspense and indicate something important or shocking is going to happen. A shot of a character with his forearm at the bottom of the screen is put in to show that whatever this power that is taking over him is it is coming from under him. This same shot has his face fade out of focus, I would say this is to show that whoever he is now is being taken away and this new thing ruling him now. Again the next shot of our character has him centered for the shot as he mysteriously explodes, this indicates that the phenomena is coming from within. Throughout all this there is many flashing lights and fades to darkness to emphasise the intensity of the scene. Scenes end and begin on the drop of the accompanying music, this make you feel more involved as though you are interacting. More characters are introduced in quick succession each shot fading in and out of each other which shows a state of unease and anarchy. They appear and are shown in different situations and varying poses that are sometimes slowed down, probably to give them more time to make an impact on viewers minds. This also gives to the story that the Watchmen are going to be around for a while and their impact will be felt.

Hypodermic needle theory:

This concept of communication, sometimes referred to as magic bullet theory or other similar names, is the idea that the media uniformly controls the mass "sheep like" public with direct messages designed to prey on their predictably instinctual reactions to an issue or situation. In my opinion the reason for its name is that a magic bullet or hypodermic needle would be incredibly subtle and almost undetectable to the unsuspecting person - for example if an earthquake alarm is sounded, most people don't take time to assess whether a threat is real or not, they reasonably grab essentials and leave to a safer area, or panic and create mass hysteria. This may or may not be the right thing to do based on the eventual truth of a matter, if there was no threat then you have wasted time energy and resources to leave, but if there is a real threat then your best interests have been satisfied.

This has become a lot less common in the modern era where more and more people are becoming critical of the media and its reliability. Most people are educated and rational enough to know if the radio announces an extraterrestrial attack it is a hoax or joke. This is due in part to the progression of science which allows us to understand the world around us and its probable likelihood of certain events happening. However if it announced a terror attack the public, with all the recent happenings are more inclined to listen and stay away from the place of attack. Although these messages would have no negative outcome and are to the public's best interest, if an eighteen year old can use nothing more than common sense to predict this, imagine what monolithic media corporations with their massive reach, money and no doubt multiple teams on analysts who work day by day to broadcast their messages can do.

An example of this actually happening comes from the late 1930's when Orson Welles recited through radio his sci-fi story War of the Worlds to the nation producing a nation-wide panic in a scientifically illiterate time, where the USA's population actually believed it was under attack by Martians.

Uses and Gratification theory:

Uses and gratification theory, abbreviated to UGT, is a method or approach to better knowing how and why the public self-consciously seek out specific media to satisfy their needs and wants. UGT focuses on the audience and asks one of the most important questions “what do people do with media?” this may be to relax, socialise or learn, to name a few. UGT rightly in my opinion assumes that the public are independent enough to know what they want to read, watch and listen to when consuming media. This is to say that instead of gobbling up whatever it is the news and advertisement giants shove their way, the consumer are mentally active enough to sift through content and find what speaks to them. This theory is very active in the modern era through the internet now that YouTube (and to some extent Facebook and Twitter) has given a platform to alternative media companies and charismatic individuals with opinions, points of view, issues and questions that resonate with the middle and working classes, old media are now scrambling to even gain a fraction of the reach some of these online providers have.

For example, online news and current events company AJ+ are available through internet and social media only. They make great use of animated explanations, satire and most of their videos end with a thought provoking question relating to the story, creating an engagement that you can’t get through the standard televised news - All this without the immense costs of air time.

Negative effects of media on audiences:

Companies seek to portray their products in the most flattering way possible to the public, although from a financial point of view this makes sense and would seem to be the way forward for growth, profits and expansion there is an argument to be made on which methods of advertisement are ethical. When Apple flaunts their newest Smartphone or computer through the television at you it is simple and to the point, they show how good it looks and maybe one or two features that give it a USP to distinguish it from competitors - The iPhone 7 for example has a relatively high quality camera for a Smartphone. This is fine and nothing is told that is false, if Apple said it came with a jetpack and the finished product didn’t come with one there would be mass outrage and complaining, the product would be recalled and people should expect a refund. The same can’t be said for other things such as women's beauty products. It is widely known that when you see a model on a magazine cover (although already considered extremely good looking) they will have been edited digitally on a program like Photoshop - jaw-line sharpened, eyes made bigger or skin darkened/lightened. This is argued to have a negative impact on impressionable youths giving them a false and often unattainable standard of beauty to aspire towards. Feelings of inadequacy and actively starving themselves to unnecessarily lose weight would be a bad consequence of looking at these images day-in day-out.

It's not just in consumerism that our lives can be affected by the media. A very large portion of the population today has multiple social media accounts where they post and update about themselves on a daily bases. When using the internet there seems to be a false sense of anonymity, even when publishing on personal accounts. Having our thoughts seen by all our friends gives us a sense of connection, but the problem is our post are viewable to anyone. A decade ago you could come home talk about how horrible your day was at work and nothing would come of it, even in 2007 social media was just new on the block and businesses weren't bothering to check up on their employees through it - The only way your boss would know you hated him was if you told him. But now social media is such a large part of daily life, it’s considered foolish for a business to not promote through it, boss’ are much more likely to see a nasty thing you’ve said and punish you for it.

4.

(A)

Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaurs is an animated action-adventure comedy film, the generic conventions associated with this form of movie are things such as canned laughter (although not in this specific film), recurring characters that have been developed with their own catchphrases (such as manny the mammoth saying he’s “not fat, its the fur that makes him ‘poofy’”) and outrageously stupid personalities like sid the sloth with his child like demeanor and attitude. The reason these conventions are more often than not included as part of the genre of film are that the movie producers want to hit their target audience with all the proven to work tactics at once, by making all the conventions people know and love available one after the other the film becomes more memorable.

(B)

The technology used to produce films such as Ice Age are specifically 3D softwares that produce CGI, for example Maya. The reason for this is that these films are mostly aimed at children, who’s media prowess for the most part only extends to cartoons. Using 3D applications to mold and sculpt worlds to their liking is extremely useful for production teams in striving towards have a product that looks inviting to kids. If the movie was shot in real life it wouldn’t have silly looking characters like Sid or Many, or the stylised environment to compliment them.

(C)

An open narrative is a story in which there’s usually multiple characters of importance with no foreseeable end in sight. It’s often the case that these extensive casts will have the limelight on them as individuals at one time or another, there isn’t only one or two people featured for the story. More often than not these story also take place in accordance with real time events and time, a week passes in real life, it passes a week in the show too. For example take your pick of any of the British TV soaps like emerdale, for a few months the spotlight may involve a family partaking in a crime of sorts and when the investigation has drawn to a close life for the rest of the village goes on and thus the show remains with a new set of characters taking the limelight for similar or different reasons.

(D)

A closed narrative is one within which there may be a foreseeable conclusion to the story. It is very different to the open narrative counterpart because in the majority of cases there are only a handful, perhaps less, of main characters that the plot revolves around: they may even be arranged in a hierarchy of importance. Time scale and events are exclusive to its specific universe and don’t rely on real life happenings. The story may take tangents to go back or forward in time. An example of this would be near an movie film, take Indiana Jones as the subject, time may shift months at a time to speed up travel in the early 20th century and the ending has a predictable path, Indy beats the bad guys and makes off with the dame and treasure.

(E)

Semiotics is the study of symbols and how they are used, with this in mind the connotation would be what the strict or more broad meaning of a picture or symbol, whilst the denotation is the opposite, opting to go with the more individual and emotional response or meaning. For example take the “Peace symbol”, Its connotation is that it is a symbol for the campaign against nuclear weapons, being the image for those that advocate for their dismemberment. Fast forward to the modern day and it’s true meaning is lost among a sea of alternative lifestyles and mindsets, its now the face of groups who believe in stopping greenhouse gasses and the defacing of natural landscapes to name a few.

Gerald Holtom- old meaning

New meaning

(F)

When comparing the portrayal of two women from both the “Load” and “Elle” magazines it’s clear to see the purpose of how they look. Load appears to be an adult themed read on which there’s a young woman with little no clothes on. I would say the target audience of this is young single men and gay women. I can’t imagine any other type of person buying this sort of material, and they would be doing this discretely. The lady on Elle however, who I recognise as the actress Jessica Simpson, is much more conservative in her appearance. She portrays the standard of a southern housewife, shown by the stereotypical large belt buckle.

Generally I wouldn’t say they are being stereotyped, women can dress as they like for whatever situation or setting but it would seem from this extremely small sample size that attractive women are supposedly blonde. Weather or not that is just the case in these two magazines or a more frequent occurrence I’m unsure about.
