Graphics Info
In the last couple of posts I've shown graphics covering big international stories. In contrast, here is a recent graphic we created which looks at a local issue. This was part of our coverage of Hong Kong's 15th anniversary of the handover from Britain back to China. In the last 15 years a local university has been keeping a running survey on how people would identify themselves. Either as a Honk Kong citizen or a Chinese citizen or somewhere in between.
As Lost Ends, Creators Explain How They Did It, What's Going On | Wired Magazine
After six seasons of riveting weirdness — smoke monsters! wormholes! tropical polar bears! — Lost is coming to a close. In 2004, ABC called on producer J.J. Abrams to create a prime-time drama that capitalized on the success of Survivor: something tropical, Cast Away-ish, and closer to Lord of the Flies than Gilligan’s Island. The series endured thanks to the power of faith (coincidentally, a theme of the show) and a more modern expression of devotion — fandom. When Lost leaves the airwaves on May 23, its creators have pledged never to speak of it again. — Scott Brown

A Medium for the Masses In the mid-1990s and early 2000s, the internet was a niche medium with mass potential. In 1995, only 14% of Americans were online. Not until 2000 did internet use reach half the adult population. Today, 87% of all American adults are online. Speed Matters Broadband access was barely measurable at the turn of the century. New Platforms & Mobility For more than a decade, there was one window to the internet — a web browser on a personal computer. The Internet as a News Source Two decades into the digital era, the internet is emerging as a primary source of news on national and international issues — a trend that coincides with the widespread adoption of internet-connected mobile devices. The Online Water Cooler Since their emergence in the middle of the last decade, social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter have transformed the web into an online water cooler conversation millions of voices strong.
LOST Consciousness — adamwhys
Sept. 2004 Oceanic 815 crashes on the island, as a result of Desmond failing to enter the numbers (4 8 15 16 23 42) push the button within 108 minutes, which releases small amounts of the island’s special store electromagnetic energy, preventing it from accumulating strength and becoming destructive. The Oceanic 815 flight crashes approximately 27 years after the Dharma Initiative builds the SWAN station. Two months later Locke lets the Swan station, which is where the electromagnetic energy is kept at bay, fail by destroying the computer through which the numbers are entered. Desmond turns a key in a failsafe mechanism that releases all of the energy at once. Three months later Freighter deployed by Charles Whidmore shows up, deposits Naomi, Miles, Charlotte, Lapidus, and Faraday on the island. Desmond experiences consciousness time-shifting and establishes a link to Faraday (for whom he functions as a Constant) and Penny (his Constant). First, regarding John Locke

Theories Roundup – Episode 3: What Kate Does | The Swan Station
Slightly later than normal so I do apologise, but here is this weeks theories roundup… they’re getting more confusing than ever! Who’s Claimed Who? Now this is a biggy. The original theory that most have jumped to is that MiB is the ‘darkness’ which has started claiming Sayid and has previously claimed Claire. However, people have continued theorising and what if it isn’t MiB at all? What if somehow it is other dead characters of the show? Claire for example has been compared to Rousseau from her brief appearance at the end of the episode. So who does that make Sayid? I’m not entirely sure about this theory, but it does seem to add up, especially seeing as Darlton did have further plans for Rousseau in S6 before Mira Furlan quit the show. When Was Claire ‘Claimed’? When I first viewed the episode, I guessed that Claire was claimed when she met her dad, Christian in the jungle. But Claire did survive a massive explosion.
