| UK voters head to the polls as Brexit's destiny hangs in the balance - CNBC Posted: 11 Dec 2019 11:48 PM PST  Polling Station sign is seen two days before General Elections in London, Great Britain on December 10, 2019. NurPhoto | NurPhoto | Getty Images Voters across the U.K. are heading to the polls Thursday for a general election that is likely to shape the country for decades to come. The snap vote was called by the government led by Conservative Party leader and Prime Minister Boris Johnson because of a parliamentary impasse over the Brexit deal he had negotiated with the EU. Johnson and his Conservative Party are aiming to win enough seats to give them a majority in the 650-seat parliament that will enable them to pass their Brexit deal, formally known as the "Withdrawal Agreement." The prime minister has repeatedly said a vote for his party means the ability to "get Brexit done." It is estimated that any winning party must grab in excess of 320 seats for any sort of majority. A hung parliament, in which no one party holds an outright majority, cannot be ruled out given the margin for error in the last major voter poll before the actual vote. That poll by YouGov/MRP on Tuesday showed the Tories could win 339 seats (22 more than they took in 2017) and a vote share of 43%.The poll also suggested that Labour are set to lose 31 seats — falling from 262 in 2017, to 231 — and take 34% of the vote. Labour are pledging to give the public a second vote on Brexit, saying that it will secure a "sensible Brexit deal" that it will them put to another referendum against an option to remain. Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has drawn criticism for his failure to make a clear personal preference on Brexit. Be wary of pollsThe reputation of voter polls is on the line too with previous forecasts failing to predict the actual outcome of the 2016 EU referendum or a snap general election in 2017, in which then-Prime Minister Theresa May lost her majority in parliament. But the MRP poll is one of few surveys that roughly predicted the result of the 2017 election, a result that made it ultimately impossible for May to get her Brexit deal passed by a majority in parliament. Nonetheless, the poll noted that "like all predictions our model comes with some uncertainty, and the margin of error here could put the final number of Conservative seats from 311 to 367. This means that we absolutely cannot rule out the 2019 election producing a hung Parliament — nor can we rule out a larger Conservative majority." Voting gets underway in the U.K. at 7:00 a.m. London time with polling stations open until 10:00 p.m., although some voters may have already cast their ballot in advance by post. Party leaders were on the campaign trail Wednesday for a last frenetic day on the campaign trail before the general election is held on Thursday. Both main parties have experienced mixed fortunes during the election race with question marks raised over their trustworthiness, attitudes to Jews and Muslims, and commitments to grand spending pledges.

| The Oldest Story We've Ever Found Shows Supernatural Figures on The Hunt - ScienceAlert Posted: 11 Dec 2019 10:48 PM PST Archaeologists working in Indonesia say they have discovered the earliest artwork that depicts a story. It is a tale told in red pigment on a cave wall. The scene, in the scientists' interpretation, shows supernatural people hunting wild animals. People living on the island of Sulawesi drew this image of pigs and horned animals as long as 44,000 years ago, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. Surrounding the animals are people or human-like figures. This artwork predates the charcoal cave art in Europe by thousands of years. Ancient Sulawesi people, like European cave painters, drew lots of wildlife. On the limestone walls, animals loom larger than the other characters, who are nearly as spindly as stick figures. In one section, those figures cluster in front of a buffalo. They appear to face off against the animal. Lines connect their small arms to the buffalo's chest. "It's quite amazing. It's a narrative scene, and it's the first time we see that in the rock art," said study author Maxime Aubert, an archaeologist at Griffith University in Australia. "Everything," he said, meaning narration and creative invention, "is there from the beginning."
The large horned animals scrawled on the walls are anoa, a species of water buffalo found only on Sulawesi. Anoa are about the size of large dogs, but what they lack in stature they make up for in aggressive tempers. The characters in the scene appear to be hunting or, perhaps, wrangling one of the buffalo, Aubert said. Study author Adam Brumm first saw the artwork as blurry photos in a messaging app. "I was just screaming with excitement when these images ended up in my phone," said Brumm, an archaeologist at Griffith University. Modern civilization surrounds this ancient place. It's a 30-minute drive from the airport in the city of Makassar. The painted wall is part of a network of limestone caves on land that belongs to a mining company. Dust from the dirt road that leads to the company's cement factory, Aubert said, frequently blows into the cave. The scientists worry pollution could harm the art. Researchers have studied the caves, which contain nearly 250 locations with art, since the 1950s. (This scene escaped attention for so long, Aubert said, because it was in a raised alcove about 60 feet above ground level.) In 2014, Aubert, Brumm and their colleagues announced that handprints in the caves were at least 40,000 years old, and pig art there was at least 35,000 years old. Paleolithic artists in France and Spain, nearly 8,000 miles (12,900 kilometers) away from Sulawesi, drew animals in charcoal. The walls of Chauvet cave, in France, teem with horses, rhinos, reindeer and bison. Most studies of European cave art use carbon in charcoal to determine dates. Chauvet's art has been dated to be about 30,000 years old, with more recent studies suggesting humans inhabited the caves 36,000 years ago. Scientists are unable to use the same technique in Sulawesi, because the iron-based red pigment lacks organic matter. Instead, they measure a coating that forms over the artwork as water trickles across the cave walls. The sweat leaves behind mineral deposits, which condense into nodules nicknamed "cave popcorn". The researchers can detect decaying elements within these globs to establish the rock's age. The scene, based on the dating of cave popcorn above some of the wild animals, was created roughly 35,000 to 43,900 years ago.
"The science and results are totally credible," said Susan O'Connor, an expert in Southeast Asian archaeology at the Australian National University, who was not involved with this study. The story on the cavern walls shows "how people at the time conceived of their relationship with animals." "If the dates from the article are correct," said Nicholas Conard, an archaeologist at the University of Tübingen in Germany who was not involved with the study, "the images would be some of the earliest figurative images known anywhere, and of great importance." Exactly what is happening in the artwork is up for interpretation. Consider the thin red lines, for instance. "We cannot prove they are spears or ropes," Aubert said. Or the figures' bizarre features. To Aubert they look like humans with animal traits. "The humans there, they are not fully human: One has a tail, then others may have some sort of bird head or something," he said. "I think it's probably something that didn't really exist. Maybe it's part of a mythical creature. … We don't know. But it is one of the possibilities." The oldest humanoid figures in European art weren't found on walls. A decade ago, Conard discovered the "Venus of Hohle Fels", a human figurine with exaggerated female anatomy, in southwest Germany. The woman was carved from a 35,000-year-old mammoth tusk. Older still, dated to around 40,000 years ago, is the mammoth ivory "Lion Man" figurine, discovered by German archaeologists in 1939. The 2½-foot man has a human body topped with a cave lion's head. Aubert and Brumm likened the Sulawesi figures to the cat-headed man. These painters, like the early ivory carvers in Europe, were storytellers with imaginations, they said. Their subject matter "has no place in reality," Brumm said. Either humans developed these elements of creative storytelling at the far corners of the planet around the same time, or storytelling is a trait developed by even older human ancestors. "If these are mixed human-animal creatures, their small size is fascinating," Conard said. "As are their movements, that seem to be a kind of flying or jumping rather than the more grounded movements of humans or terrestrial mammals." He confessed he had "no idea what the lines mean." But Paul Pettitt, an archaeologist at Durham University in the United Kingdom who was not a member of this research team, was skeptical of the interpretation. "Is it a scene? The 'humanoids' are depicted horizontally, and at a differing scale to the animals they are said to be hunting," Pettitt said. "As for 'spears,' just look at them. They are long lines that just pass close to some humans," Pettitt said. "Hardly weapons held in the hand." He suggested it was also possible different artists added the figures to the wall later, citing European caves that were decorated in several phases. Brumm said the style and weathering of the artwork was consistent in the animals and people. "We really don't know" what these artists were trying to say, the archaeologist said. To do so for certain would require "photorealistic depiction" in prehistoric art or barring that, he said, time-traveling anthropologists. There will be plenty of time for debate. More pressing is the preservation of the cave's art. The study authors fear they have only a limited amount of time to observe the paintings. "The surface of the cave is exfoliating like it's peeling off. And big chunks, every year, are disappearing, and we don't know exactly why," Aubert said. A list of possible afflictions: climate change that altered the monsoon seasons, speeding up a destructive wet-dry cycle. Or it could be the influence of local pollution. Aubert is trying to raise funds to digitize the cave paintings using laser scanners. "It could be one of the bitter ironies that we only just discovered the extreme antiquity of this rock art in the last few years," Brumm said, "and it could be gone within our lifetimes." 2019 © The Washington Post This article was originally published by The Washington Post.

| Broward County deputy terminated for slamming teen's face in viral video - CNN Posted: 11 Dec 2019 08:38 PM PST  An internal affairs review recommended Deputy Christopher Krickovich "be exonerated despite the video testimony and other evidence showing a clear violation of BSO's use-of-force policy," the Broward County Sheriff's Office said. Sheriff Greg Tony rejected the recommendation and decided to terminate Krickovich, who had been suspended without pay, authorities said. '"When my deputies do the right thing, I will always support them and have their back. But I will not stand idly by while anyone violates his or her sworn duty to protect," Tony said in a news release. The cellphone video recording of the incident in Tamarac, near Fort Lauderdale on April 18 went viral and sparked outrage on social media. It showed 15-year-old Delucca Rolle being body slammed and pepper-sprayed. The teenager's face was slammed into the pavement once he was on the ground. Broward County deputies were also accused of filing bogus charges against the teen. Those charges were later dropped. The State Attorney's Office declined to charge the teen, who faced charges including resisting arrest and trespassing after his arrest. The union that represents Krickovich said Wednesday it "is disappointed that the Sheriff has once again violated the procedural due process" of the deputy, which resulted in his termination. "Krickovich could not speak on his behalf at a pre disciplinary hearing and was not afforded a proper 'Loudermill hearing,'" Jeff Bell, the president of the Broward Sheriff's Office Deputies Association, said in a statement. "Sheriff Tony forced Krickovich to choose between giving up his right to remain silent and not self-incriminate himself or speak at a hearing to save his job," Bell said. Any statement at the hearing would be used against Krickovich in an upcoming criminal case, Bell said. In a statement Wednesday, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the teenager's family, said the announcement of the firing "validates what we already knew: This young boy was the victim of a brutal and unjustifiable attack by Broward law enforcement officers who were sworn to protect him." Two other deputies were investigated in the case. Deputy Ralph Mackey received a written reprimand for not activating his body-worn camera. The results of the investigation into Sgt. Gregory LaCerra were not announced pending due process, according to Tony. In July, LaCerra and Krickovich were charged by the Broward County State Attorney's office with misdemeanor battery, falsifying documents and conspiracy. Their cases are pending, and the next court hearing is scheduled for December 19, according to the Broward State Attorney's Office. Bell said the union is confident LaCerra "will resolve his case with a not guilty verdict." Deputy Mackey was accused of falsifying records and conspiracy. A jury found him not guilty in September, according to court records. Bell said Mackey is now back to full duty.

| Video of Sears shoplifters running off with armloads of clothes goes viral - MarketWatch Posted: 11 Dec 2019 05:38 PM PST  Those clothes were a steal — like too many other items this year. A video of several shoplifters running out of a Sears SHLDQ, -4.65% store carrying armloads of garments has gone viral on Twitter TWTR, +2.38%. The 18-second clip posted Tuesday night shows what appears to be four or five people running out of a Sears store at the Hilltop Mall in Richmond, Calif., bearing piles of what look to be mostly shirts still on their hangers. One of the thieves drops his stolen goods when a man confronts him at the exit, and the two get into a shoving and punching match before the shoplifter gets away with the others. Sears was not immediately available for comment on how much was stolen, or whether any of the suspects have been identified or apprehended. But the video soon went viral, getting more than 1.7 million views on Twitter and trending on Wednesday morning, as well as drawing 12,000 retweets — and tons of comments. Many viewers couldn't resist making jokes about how "desperate" the thieves must have been to swipe clothes from the struggling retailer, which is being liquidated after suffering 11 straight years of declining sales. Some 96 Sears and Kmart stores are closing, and the going-out-of-business sales were slated to begin Dec. 2. Related: Here are the 96 Sears and Kmart stores that are closing next "If you stealing from Sears, you need it. Let them go," tweeted one commentator, drawing more than 3,000 likes. But it's no laughing matter. Shoplifting persists as one of the most prevalent crimes in the country, with one in 11 Americans using the five-fingered discount, according to the National Association for Shoplifting Prevention (NASP), in part because so few people take it seriously. This was highlighted when reality star turned prison reform advocate Kim Kardashian also made light of shoplifting during a Bustle interview earlier this year, when she admitted to stealing a $90 pair of Dior sunglasses with her sister Khloe when they were teenagers. "It was really funny," she said. It's not so funny for the retailers, however, who lost $50.6 billion from shrinkage last year, according to the latest National Retail Security Survey from the National Retail Federation. (Shrink is defined as inventory losses from shoplifting, employee theft, vendor fraud and other unknown losses.) And more than two-thirds of retailers have seen an increase organized retail crime — or thefts by two or more people working together, as appeared to be the case in the viral Sears heist — according to a National Retail Federation survey released on Wednesday. Almost every retailer (97%) had been victims of organized retail crime in the past year, losing an average of $703,320 per $1 billion in sales. And Sears had better keep an eye out, since 20% of known shoplifters have hit three or more locations of the same retail chain. Shoplifting hurts smaller stores the most. Each incident costs retailers with 500 or fewer locations $753.20 on average, which is more than double the $307.55 that chains with 500 or more stores lose per shoplifting incident. The NASP estimates that more than $35 million in goods is shoplifted every single day. Read more: Hey Kim Kardashian — there's nothing 'really funny' about shoplifting And even though high-tech advances have led to tighter security measures, few sticky-fingered consumers and dishonest employees are caught — and those who are nabbed often aren't punished. The National Retail Federation notes that only about 509 people were arrested for shoplifting last year, compared with 3,323 apprehended in 2015. And only about 370 shoplifters were prosecuted last year, compared with 1,935 in 2015. In short, if you steal something, the numbers suggest you'll probably get away with it. But as the NASP notes in its tagline, shoplifting steals from everyone. That's because retailers often raise prices on their products to cover losses from theft. Plus, these missing sales cut into local and state sales tax revenue, which can lead to raising taxes. And communities lose jobs when businesses close over continual losses. "Those four words, 'It's no big deal,' are the bane of our existence," Barbara C. Staib, the NASP's director of communications, previously told MarketWatch. "The collective impact, the frequency and magnitude of misdemeanor retail crime is costing our country, our retailers and our taxpayers a lot of money." And 'tis the season for shoplifting, now that the Hanukkah, Christmas and Kwanzaa holidays are just a couple of weeks away — and with consumers expected to spend up to $730.7 billion.

| 美 少年、エンターテインメントの原点に触れた旅 心を揺さぶられる経験が原動力に - Real Sound Posted: 11 Dec 2019 05:35 PM PST  連続ドキュメンタリー『RIDE ON TIME』（フジテレビ系）11月29日、12月6日と2週に渡って密着したのがジャニーズJr.のユニット、美 少年。メンバー6人のうち、5人は現役高校生という、まだ初々しいメンバー。彼らの奮闘ぶりを追った。 自分たちにしかない何かを探す彼ら美 少年だけにあるものを聞かれると、メンバー最年長の藤井直樹は「美 少年だけにあるもの……なんだろう？」と考え込んだ。那須雄登も同様に「分かんないよな」と返答。 歌とダンスに加えて、楽器やアクロバット、タレントの個性的なキャラクターなど、他のユニットには武器がある中で、美 少年にはこれといった武器がないと悩むメンバー。美 少年は、上記二人に加えて、高身長の佐藤龍我、ムードメーカーの浮所飛貴、アクロバット練習中の金指一世、MCやソロなどを任されている岩﨑大昇の6人構成だ。 ジャニーズJr.が多数出演する番組で、盛り上げ方やトーク術がある人、身体能力を発揮する人と、その人ならではの武器を披露する中で、ひときわ大人しく見えていた美 少年。その中で佐藤がレモンの丸かじりを披露したが、映像としては少し地味なシーンになっていた。番組MCのヒロミからは「これを他でやることがあったらもっと速くな」とツッコミ交じりのアドバイスを受けていた。 彼らは歌にダンスという平均的なパフォーマンススキルはあっても、 "美 少年といえばコレ"という代表的な武器がないのだ。このところ、ジャニーズJr.のダンスレベルがあがり、嵐の二宮和也もJr.当時にこのレベルだったら受かってないと舌を巻いたほど。下積み時代ならではの悩みを抱える美 少年の姿に、歴代アイドルの過去とを重ねてどこか懐かしい気持ちにさせられた。 "エンターテインメント" - Google ニュース December 11, 2019 at 02:08PM https://ift.tt/2Eb8a3a 美 少年、エンターテインメントの原点に触れた旅 心を揺さぶられる経験が原動力に - Real Sound "エンターテインメント" - Google ニュース https://ift.tt/2W81riD Shoes Man Tutorial Pos News Update Meme Update Korean Entertainment News Japan News Update  | |
| Plainfield Actress Makes Professional Debut In Chicago Theater - Plainfield, IL Patch Posted: 11 Dec 2019 05:31 PM PST  PLAINFIELD, IL — In the holiday production of Eleanor's Very Merry Christmas Wish, now playing in Lincoln Park's Greenhouse Theater, Plainfiled North alum Sydney Swanson plays a six-year-old girl with big hopes for friends and the future. It's a fitting first professional gig for the young actress, considering she said she's wanted to act on the stage since she was almost six years old herself. "I got into theater when I was around eight years old," Swanson said. "I had just switched schools and the school that I switched into was doing theater, which was something I had never experienced before. I watched their show the year that I transferred in, and I just knew at that point; I was like 'I have to do this!'" Since that time first experiencing theater at St. Ann Catholic School in Lansing, Swanson has been in a number of community and amateur productions around the Chicagoland area. She got this first professional break after impressing the Eleanor playwright and producer, Denise McGowan Tracy, with her acting and singing chops. "When Sydney walked in, she read for us and I just had this very good sense... that, 'yeah, I want to hear more from her,'" Tracy said. "Of course then we called her back with our script and with our songs, and she did it so beautifully that it was a completely unanimous decision by myself, the director and our musical director, as well as... the composer." The show is, in Tracy's words, a story about holiday cheer and the fundamental human desire for connection. Prior to its screen adaption, Tracy first wrote the story as a children's book in 2015. It tells the story a young girl named Noelle, recently moved to Chicago with her mother. Noelle has not many friends but a Christmas wish to make more; her wish connects her with a magical rag doll called Eleanor who shares it. Swanson plays the young Noelle, and being a decade and change removed from her character's age, she said she took to watching old home movies of herself to prepare for the role. "It took a lot of soul-digging to kind of remember what [being six] felt like," Swanson said. "Bringing out my inner child was the probably the most difficult part of it, but that's what family videos are for." Tracy said she hopes this is only the first of many years that Eleanor finds its way onto Chicago stages, with plans already underway for a 2020 production season. She added that the play is designed with families and children in mind, with special seating for little ones and an opportunity for them to meet Santa right there in the theater. "We've already started our planning for 2020, and we've had some great discussions with some other venues and some other people... I hope you'll see Eleanor playing in many theaters beginning in 2020" Tracy said. As for Swanson, she said Eleanor is just the beginning. She plans to continue pursuing her acting career in the new decade, with a special eye to live theater. "I wouldn't be opposed to [screen acting], but theater is first and foremost my first love and I would love to continue just doing theater forever," she said. Eleanor's Very Merry Christmas Wish is playing now through Dec. 29. Tickets for all individuals are a flat $29.50, except for a "family four pack" where a group of four can get tickets for $100 total. Tickets are available at the Greenhouse Theater box office. For more information about show times, upcoming events and the theater itself, please visit the show's box office website or call (773) 404-7336.

| Disney+ passes 22 million downloads on mobile devices, says app tracking company - CNBC Posted: 11 Dec 2019 06:25 AM PST  Still from "The Mandalorian" series on Disney's streaming service Disney+. Disney It's been about four weeks since Disney launched its signature streaming service. Since then, the company reported the Disney+ service had 10 million signups through smart TVs, mobile devices and desktops after its first day. Now, independent app-tracking company Apptopia reports Disney+ has been downloaded 22 million times to mobile devices since its launch, and the app has averaged 9.5 million daily active mobile users, ranking in the top spot in both Apple and Google's app stores. Apptopia only measures mobile downloads and usage, and does not include usage on devices like smart TVs, Roku boxes, Apple TV or desktop web browsers. Disney says it will not disclose its own numbers until its next quarterly report, and a spokesperson declined to comment on Apptopia's findings. Apptopia says it measures mobile app downloads by connecting its data analytics tools to over 250,000 apps. It then combines that data with publicly available information to estimate the number of downloads. Apptopia does not have information on how many of those downloads come from free trials. Disney offers Disney+ free for seven days. Verizon also offers a free year to wireless subscribers with unlimited data plans and new Fios TV customers. But a fair number of people are paying, as Apptopia says Disney has already brought in $20 million in revenue from the app. That's a combination of $5 per-month fees and annual commitments, and it doesn't include the cut Disney has to share with the app stores. Apptopia says the strong start for Disney+ doesn't seem to be hurting mobile traffic to rival streaming apps. Downloads and streaming time for AT&T's HBO Now and Amazon Prime Video have been unaffected by the new launch. Netflix did see a brief dip in mobile traffic following the launch of Disney+, but then it resumed normal volume, according to the report. Meanwhile, Google's annual search trends report, which was released on Wednesday, said Disney+ was the top trending search in 2019 in the U.S., another strong sign of consumer interest. A number of other related apps have also benefited from Disney+. Apptopia reports that the discounted bundle that includes Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ for $12.99 per month has boosted new installs of those apps as well. Roku has also been boosted. Apptopia reports that "we believe Roku is seeing more engagement due to people watching a lot of Disney+." Disney has only rolled out the Disney+ in four countries outside the U.S., and about 85% of Disney+ downloads and daily users are in the U.S., according to Apptopia. The app will roll out globally next year, starting with Western Europe in March, then Latin America and Eastern Europe in the fall. Follow @CNBCTech on Twitter for the latest tech industry news.

| Visa, MFS Africa Take Mobile Wallets Cross-Border - pymnts.com Posted: 11 Dec 2019 06:25 AM PST Since the rise of M-Pesa in 2007, mobile money wallets have become prevalent across Africa. And while that addition to the market has made many things possible for consumers in formerly cash-locked economies, there has been a persistent problem of limitations for users once they want to transact outside their home environment. Because their mobile money wallets lack a virtual or physical network credential associated with them, in general they can not work with international use cases. But that might be changing, as today (Dec. 11) Visa has announced a partnership with pan-African FinTech leader MFS Africa that is designed for bridging the gap between the rapidly growing mobile money ecosystem in Africa and the world of online digital payments by distributing Visa payment credentials via the MFS Africa digital payments hub. That hub connects around 180 million mobile wallets across the continent, and going forward, the new partnership between the entities will allow mobile wallet users on the platform to generate an instant Visa virtual card with a 16-digit number and link it to their mobile money accounts to use for remittances and eCommerce transactions. "In the past few years, we have been relentlessly focused on creating new digital pathways between mobile money users in Africa. Having reached significant scale, we are now turning our focus to connecting our network to the wider world, to unleash the wealth of opportunity that trade with Africa presents to the global economy," said Dare Okoudjou, founder and CEO of MFS Africa. "We have found in Visa an invaluable partner to support us in the next stage of our expansion. The reach of the Visa network is unparalleled, and we look forward to working with Visa to realize our vision of a world in which no one is limited in what they can achieve when it comes to payments." The partnership will also include an integration of MFS Africa into Visa Direct, the card network's real-time push payments, to provide mobile money users a fast, convenient and secure way to send and receive money and remittances directly from/into their mobile money wallets via eligible card credentials. That addition comes as, according to the World Bank, remittances to sub-Saharan Africa are set to increase by over 5.6 percent between 2019 and 2020, reaching $51 billion. But as popular as the region is for remittances, it is also expensive to send them, with an average cost of 9.3 percent. "Africa is adopting a mobile-led, digital payments ecosystem, and with Visa looking to accelerate the distribution of payment credentials and expand the acceptance space for digital payments, this partnership is an important one," said Jack Forestell, executive vice president and chief product officer at Visa. "MFS Africa will help us enable digital payment use cases at scale through their aggregation model."

| 「アナ雪2」ステマ騒動、ディズニー声明後に漫画家らが初めての謝罪 「『PR表記必要ない』との説明受けた」 - ねとらぼ Posted: 11 Dec 2019 05:59 AM PST 「アナ雪2」ステマ騒動、ディズニー声明後に漫画家らが初めての謝罪 「『PR表記必要ない』との説明受けた」 - ねとらぼ  ディズニー作品の"ステマ（ステルスマーケティング）疑惑"について12月11日、ウォルト・ディズニー・ジャパンの謝罪後初めて、関係する漫画家たちがTwitter上で謝罪を行いました。 代理店に「PR表記必要ない」との説明受けたディズニーが謝罪を行う以前、12月4日の段階で当該漫画家7人がそれぞれ謝罪を行っていましたが、その中の小雨大豆さん、大和なでしこさん、山本アヒルさん3人があらためて経緯の説明と、謝罪を行いました。 小雨大豆さんは、「仕事を依頼してきた代理店はPR表記をつけないよう依頼してきましたが、本文にアナ雪2のタグ2つと時間を揃えての投稿にする事で、これがステルスマーケティングにはあたらないと認識していたようです」との説明と共に、「この度はお騒がせして本当に申し訳ありませんでした」と謝罪。大和なでしこさんも、「依頼主側から作家達が同じ時間、同じタグを使用するのでPR表記は必要ないと説明がありましたので、その指示に従いマンガをツイートしました」と、自身の認識が甘かった点を謝罪しつつ説明しました。 一方で山本アヒルさんは、「ディズニーさんから謝罪を頂いたので、一旦区切りとして僕からも改めて謝罪をさせてください」と切り出しつつ、「タグの指定、他作家さんと同時投稿ということからPR表記がなくてもPRだと理解されると思い、表記の重要性をわからずツイートしてしまいました」と、自らの非を強調しつつ、あらためて謝罪しています。 "共通のハッシュタグが入っていればステマではない"は間違い一般論として、"共通のハッシュタグが入ってさえいればステマに当たらない"ということはなく、ユーザーが広告物だと認識できない形でのPRは、ステマに該当する可能性があります。同件について、いわゆる「ステマ防止ガイドライン」を定めているWOMマーケティング協議会は「消費者が保護されていないようであれば『WOMJガイドライン』の精神に反している」との見解を示しています。 漫画家が4日に投稿した謝罪文では、それぞれが一様に自らの認識不足を謝罪しており、ディズニー側や仲介となった代理店側からの声明がなかったことから、「ディズニーや代理店側が漫画家に責任を押し付けている」と批判を集めていました。漫画家側の認識不足も一因であったことは間違いない一方で、「PR表記無し」とした依頼主側の責任も明確になったといえます。 なおディズニーは11日の謝罪で、「クリエイターのみなさまに責任はございません」と、責任があくまで自社にあることを強調しています。 同様の事案としては、10月に吉本興業に所属するお笑いコンビ「ミキ」が京都市からの依頼を受け、「＃京都市盛り上げ隊」などのハッシュタグと共に投稿したツイートが「ステマに当たるのでは」と批判を集めていました。こちらについて京都市側と吉本興業は「ステマには当たらない」という見解を表明しており、そういう意味では悪しき前例として今回のディズニーの騒動につながっているとの見方もできます。
「アナ雪2」ステマでは複数社が関与かまた小雨大豆さんは、「大きな案件は何社にも渡って仕事がつくられていくのでスピードが必要な映画案件においてそこが疎かになってしまったようです」とも説明。 ディズニー側は今回の問題の原因は、マーケティング活動における社内指針の周知・厳守が徹底されなかったためであると説明していましたが、小雨大豆さんの投稿の通りであれば、ディズニーの他に複数社が同件にも関わっていたことになります。つまり、ディズニーだけではなく、複数社がコンプライアンス意識の欠けた決定を素通りさせたことを意味します。 問題が明るみに出たのはたまたま「アナと雪の女王2」でしたが、「アラジン」「アベンジャーズ／エンドゲーム」「キャプテン・マーベル」などでも類似行為が疑われており、こちらでも同様に複数社が関わっていたとすると、ディズニーだけではなく業界の体質的な問題である可能性もあります。 既報の通り、今回関与していた複数の漫画家がエージェント会社「wwwaap（ワープ）」に所属していたことから、ねとらぼ編集部では同社に対し再三問い合わせを送っていますが、現在まで「担当者不在」の状態が続いており、回答は得られていません。

| Posted: 11 Dec 2019 04:55 AM PST MADRID--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The use of mobile technology enabled a global reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions of around 2,135 million tonnes CO2e last year, according to a new study commissioned by the GSMA – a quantity approximate to the total emissions emitted yearly by Russia1. The emissions savings were almost ten times greater than the global carbon footprint of the mobile industry itself2. The new GSMA report, produced in collaboration with the Carbon Trust, an independent sustainability specialist, is being presented at the 2019 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25) held in Madrid this month. It found that the majority of avoided emissions made possible by mobile technologies were the result of significant reductions in energy and fuel consumption. In 2018, mobile technologies such as Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled a 1.44 billion MWh reduction in energy and saved 521 billion litres of fuel, globally. "The mobile ecosystem enabled savings of enough electricity and gas last year to power more than 70 million houses for an entire year in the US. Additionally, fuel for all 32.5 million registered cars in the UK to drive for 19 years was saved," said Mats Granryd, Director General of the GSMA. "Today's study underlines how mobile and smart technologies are powering sustainable economic growth while enabling the avoidance of emissions across multiple industry sectors. These technologies will be crucial to the world reaching its Net Zero targets." "Climate change requires a collective effort across governments, businesses and civil society if we are going to succeed in limiting global temperature increases to within 1.5 degrees," said Tom Delay, CEO of the Carbon Trust. "This analysis shows the positive role that mobile technology is playing in the evolution of other sectors and is a great example of what is possible." The Carbon Trust examined 14 markets around the world3 to form a representative sample of the 'enablement effect' of the mobile sector's ability to reduce emissions. The results indicate an even split between the enablement effect of M2M/IoT technologies, and those enabled through behaviour changes from the personal use of smartphones. The majority of avoided emissions from M2M technologies are primarily in buildings, transport, manufacturing and the energy sector – sectors that make up a large portion of global GHG emissions. For example, savings in buildings are a result of technologies that improve energy efficiency such as building management systems and smart meters. In the transport sector, the use of telematics can improve route optimisation and vehicle fuel efficiency. Meanwhile, personal smartphone usage is enabling emissions reductions due to encouraging behaviours such as reduced travel, increased use of public transport, remote home heating control and online shopping. The report provides a high-level analysis of six categories of enabling mechanisms, along with case studies. The biggest category of avoided emissions is 'Smart living, working and health' (39 per cent of total avoided emissions in 2018), followed by 'Smart transport and cities' (30 per cent), 'Smart manufacturing' (11 per cent), 'Smart buildings' (10 per cent), 'Smart energy' (7 per cent), and 'Smart agriculture' (3 per cent). 'The Enablement Effect: The impact of mobile communications technologies on carbon emission reductions' is produced by the GSMA and the Carbon Trust. The report provides a breakdown of the results and the assumptions used in the calculations, including a full methodology. Mobilising the industry on climate action The GSMA is working with participating operators and partnering with the international community, climate experts and third-party organisations to advance industry progress, establish best practices, and support disclosure and target setting. The work forms part of the industry's journey to support the delivery of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG #13 on Climate Action.

| アナ雪2ステマ、日本ディズニーが重ねて謝罪。他の「類似の案件」にも言及 #Frozen2 - Engadget 日本版 Posted: 11 Dec 2019 03:28 AM PST アナ雪2ステマ、日本ディズニーが重ねて謝罪。他の「類似の案件」にも言及 #Frozen2 - Engadget 日本版  「アナ雪」で検索すると「ステマ」がサジェストされる事態、アナ雪以外のディズニー系の映画について良い評判を見かけても「これも絶賛ありきの広告かな？」と思わせ、無関係なファンの真摯な投稿も含め、ソーシャルメディアが作品の周知に果たす役割を末永く毀損するに至った自爆プロモの経緯は、ひとつ前の記事を参照してください。 アナ雪2ステマ騒動は連絡ミス、日本ディズニーが釈明。「コミュニケーションに行き届かない部分」(12月7日) さて、彼らに責任はありません！非はこちらに！という発言は、責任を認めたことに対する結果さえ伴っていれば、まことに潔い態度と称賛されることもあります。また、広告を発注した側に一義的な責任があるのは一般常識に照らしても当然です。 しかし消費者を欺く点に問題があるステマの場合、契約に基づき仕事として請け負った側、自覚の有無を問わず欺瞞的広告を自分の名前で実行した側の社会的責任の有無まで日本ディズニーが専断できるわけはありません。そのうえで「クリエーターの皆様に責任はございません」とわざわざ述べる意味は、PR表記をしなかったこと、事後にあたかも個人のミスであったかのように揃って謝罪した / させたことも含めディズニー側の指示でしたとの言い換えではないかと想像しますが、責任の所在は一方的に決定できるわりに根拠となる説明責任はスルーなのでよく分かりません。 ディズニーは本件について先週、あくまで伝達におけるミスであり意図的なものではなかったとの釈明をすでに公表しています。週をまたいだタイミングで、改めて「クリエイターの皆様にご迷惑をお掛けしている事実」について掲載するに至った理由は、きっと色々な方面から「ディズニーがクリエイターの側に頭を下げさせる」ことへの怒られが発生したのだろうなあ、と想像するしかありませんが、今回の発表でもっと重大なのは、「周知の不徹底が招いた結果」の主語として、さりげなく「本件を含む類似の案件」と述べていること。 つまり、アナと雪の女王2ステマ案件の発覚後、一大鉱脈の発見とばかりに掘り返されていた過去の不自然な「感想」漫画等について、リリース文中段で初めて挿入される数文字をもって、「過去のディズニー映画のネット評価もダマシ広告が含まれていました」と認めたことになります。 アナ雪だけではなかったと認める一方、「類似の案件」が具体的に何なのか、漫画だけなのか、どのソーシャルメディアなのか、それ以外も含まれるのか等はもちろん説明しないため、純粋にディズニー作品に感動して気持ちを伝えたいと筆を執った大多数のファンは、「ああ、これも「類似の案件」ですか」との疑いを公式にかけられっぱなしの巻き添えから救済されるわけでもありません。 一身に責任を認めたディズニーの対応は「社内指針の周知徹底を図り、再発防止に努めてまいります」。 前回の説明から特に変わった点も、具体的な対策もありませんが、素晴らしい作品を通じて愛され信頼されるディズニーのこと、「今後は投稿時間をバラします」といったレベルの対策ではないはずです。 「本件を含む類似の案件」について、具体的に指摘した上での問い合わせは「個別の案件には回答できない」との回答があるようです。筆者の乏しい日本語読解力を以て「アナ雪2以外にもやってたと認めた」と解釈してしまって良いのか大変に不安なため、念のため「本件を含む類似の案件」とはどのような意味でしょうか？と確認してみたいと思います。 2019-12-11 10:15:00Z https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMiK2h0dHBzOi8vamFwYW5lc2UuZW5nYWRnZXQuY29tLzIwMTkvMTIvMTEvMi_SAQA?oc=5  | |

| Oliver: Reader's best-laid plans for yearly goal go awry - Northwest Herald Posted: 11 Dec 2019 01:41 AM PST With the year winding down, many of us take time to reflect on whether we met some of the goals we set for ourselves. Of course, sometimes we have to face up to not meeting them. Perhaps life handed us a few challenges, or maybe our goals weren't as realistic as we imagined. Perhaps there's a bit of both going on in one goal I didn't reach this year. The past couple of years, I've been on a good personal reading schedule. The year I discovered OverDrive and e-books from my local library, I went on a bit of a tear. I managed to finish 40 books. I'll admit that's not a lot compared with some of my more bookish friends, but it was good for me. After all, I read, write and proofread for a living. Last year, as a result of my mother's death in April, I hit a snag in my ability to sit down and read for pleasure. Still, I managed to hit my goal of 25 books. With that in mind, I thought a good goal for 2019 would be 25 books again. If I hit that early in the year, I could always adjust the goal upward. Little did I know what 2019 would hold. With a couple of weeks left, I'll be happy if I hit 20. One would think that sitting in all those doctors' offices after my breast cancer diagnosis would have given me plenty of time to plow through books. I would have thought that, too, but I decided to bring friends with me to each appointment, so I spent the time distracting myself with laughter and small talk instead. However, among the books I did finish this year were some I can definitely recommend. I'll start with the nonfiction, since I tend to gravitate toward those. "Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country" by Pam Houston was a riveting account of the author's love affair with her 120-acre homestead in the Colorado Rockies. She finds redemption and hope as she learns to take care of the land. It also includes a firsthand account of what those wildfires out West are like. I also found a lot to ponder in "Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive" by Stephanie Land. This unflinching look at trying to make it as a single mother was inspiring. Land does not shy away from relating some of the bad choices she made, which I appreciated. Fellow word nerds might get a chuckle or two from "Dreyer's English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style" by Benjamin Dreyer. For a copy editor, this one didn't cover a lot of new ground. However, it presented the information in a compelling way. In fiction, "A Gentleman in Moscow" by Amor Towles reminded me of all the Russian literature I read when I was in college. I'll admit it took me awhile, but it was worth it. "The Boy Who Knew Too Much" by Jeffrey Westhoff is excellent. Although it's technically for young adults, this spy tale is fast-paced and fun. Longtime readers might remember Jeff as this newspaper's former movie critic. Other gems: "Evvie Drake Starts Over" by Linda Holmes combines romance and baseball, "Little Fires Everywhere" by Celeste Ng tells the story of an arson in flashback, "Daisy Jones & the Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid relates the story of a fictional band not unlike Fleetwood Mac and "Small Great Things" by Jodi Picoult raises interesting questions about racism. Who knows what books will spark my interest in 2020? Only time will tell. But first I need to set a more reachable goal. • Joan Oliver is a former Northwest Herald assistant news editor.
