Remotely Funny Wiki

## Introduction to Remotely Funny Wiki

Remotely Funny is a terrible British children's game show hosted by Sara Forsberg. The show is produced by Twenty Twenty Kids for CBBC. The show features three children from across the United Kingdom connected remotely via webcam competing in various challenges to win points known as 'Samojis'.

## Format

In each episode, there are three contestants (except for the Sibling Special) who take part in games, activities and quizzes to win points known as 'Samojis'. Host Saara Forsberg can also give out 'Samojis' for doing something funny or any other reason. The winner wins a *Remotely Funny* jumper. The runners up win *Remotely Funny* merchandise, like a memory stick or highlighter.

### Rounds

Between rounds, Forsberg will also ask a contestant a question about their family.

* **"Bedroom Bonanza":** Forsberg will read out a description of an item, like 'something from a foreign country' or 'something you would never want to give away' and the contestants must race to find something matching that description in their bedroom.
* **"Toilet Takedown":** In the first part, Forsberg will read a trivia question like 'how many toilets does Wembley Stadium have ?'. The contestant must writer their answer on toilet paper, the contestant with the closest answer wins. In the second part, Forsberg will show the contestants a video on *LooTube* and ask a question based on what they saw or to impersonate what they saw on the video.
* **"Food Flash":** Forsberg shows the contestant a picture of a Finnish food dish, the contestants must then make the food dish they saw. The winner is the contestant's dish is closest to the actual dish. The contestants must also use ruskeakastike, a Finish gravy and one of Forsberg's favourite foods. They can also win a bonus *Samoji* if they get their parents to try it.
* **"Meet the Family":** The contestant's parents must sing a song, and fill in missing words or recreate a dance shown to them. The dance will usually have something related to the episode's country.

* **"The Decider:"** Forsberg shows the contestants a set of 'emojis', representing something. The contestants must work out what they represent.

Relatorios

Tudo que foi abordado do dia 10/03/2017 ao 16/03/2017

Durante a semana, algumas medidas foram tomadas pela turma.

A definição de um escopo mais elaborado foi realizado e o apoio do professor Mario Jorge foi incorporado ao time.

A turma conseguiu uma parceria com o SEBRAE, que tem como principal representante o professor Silvio Bello, que desenvolverá o projeto juntamente com a UCSal.

Como os interesses de ambos (equipe BES e SEBRAE) eram parecidos, a ideia de trabalhar em conjunto foi aceita por toda a equipe.

Uma reunião com o “patrocinador” da ideia foi agendada, mas devido a indisponibilidade do mesmo e problemas no cenário sócio-político nacional inviabilizaram a reunião, que foi agendada para a próxima semana.

Todo o corpo de professores de BES foi mobilizado para que se tenha uma maior assertividade do projeto e que ele possa tomar proporções maiores.

Um pequeno fluxo de funcionamento do projeto foi realizado pela ferramenta bizagi.

A matriz de stakeholders foi realizada e revisada por toda a equipe.

O representante da equipe é Gabryela Barros.
Imogen Desmond

William Desmond's only child.

Imogen is a mundane, as was her mother who died when she was in her early teens. As yet, the details of Desmond's marriage have not been revealed.

She met Alastair Stone a few years after he passed Desmond's apprenticeship, when she was eighteen and he was twenty-two. The two of them became close for a while, much to Desmond's delight since he wanted his prized apprentice and his beloved daughter to marry. However, Imogen, despite loving Stone, felt he loved magic more than her, so she broke off the relationship before Stone could propose.

The two reconciled shortly after Stone fled to California to take a job at the Stanford Occult Studies department. They reconnected again many years later following Desmond's death. She is now married to Clifford Blakely, a successful mundane who adores her.

Imogen is small and slim, with dark hair and large, expressive eyes. Even in her late thirties, she fits the adjective "pixieish" in appearance. She possesses a kind and relatively unassuming demeanor, but she is highly intelligent, and has a good sense of humor and a core of steel.

She inherited the largest part of Desmond's monetary and real-estate holdings, making her one of the richest women in Britain.

Escopo

O produto a ser desenvolvido consiste em um sistema que irá coletar e armazenar ideias sugeridas pela comunidade, sobre assuntos variados e pré-definidos, a fim atender as necessidades da comunidade definida pela Equipe Gestora do Programa (EGP).

Essas ideias serão avaliadas por essa equipe (EGP) com base nas regras já definidas no sistema e em seguida, a partir dessa avaliação, algumas ideias serão selecionadas para serem executadas na comunidade avaliada.

O sistema estará disponível em um período pré-definido pela EGP para que ocorra a coleta de ideias. Na página inicial do sistema será publicado vídeos cujo conteúdo terá como objetivo incentivar a inclusão de ideias.

Para a utilização do sistema, será necessário realizar uma identificação simplificada do usuário que irá publicar a sua ideia. A partir da identificação do usuário no sistema, será possível publicar quantas ideias o usuário desejar, respeitando a quantidade de caracteres pré-definidos e o tema proposto.

O sistema armazenará todas as ideias publicadas e as exibirá para a comunidade, mas a identidade de quem a publicou será preservada. Desta forma, conceitualmente a ideia ou as ideias selecionadas, não serão apenas de uma pessoa, mas sim de toda a comunidade. Após o período de publicação, as ideias serão avaliadas em um prazo limite de um ano.

As avaliações serão realizadas pela EGP após o período de encerramento da coleta de ideias. Os critérios avaliativos para o julgamento das ideias são da EGP, respeitando as regras definidas no sistema. A faixa de notas que são atribuídas a cada ideia será: 1, 3 e 9 de forma que as maior nota corresponderá as ideias melhores avaliadas. A medida que as ideias são avaliadas, uma lista de ideias será ordenada de forma decrescente a partir da maior avaliação.

Posteriormente ao período avaliativo, um ranking será montado com as ideias que possuíram uma grande representatividade. E se satisfazer os interesses da organização (UCSal), as mesmas serão aplicadas na comunidade avaliada.

A quantidade de ideias escolhidas poderá ser parametrizada pelo administrador do sistema (que também é um representante da equipe gestora do programa).

Portals

Portals are the chief method of long-distance travel for mages, aside from conventional airline travel. Difficult and expensive to create, public portals tend to exist only in key areas, but they can get you at least within the vicinity of where you wish to go. For example, the portal maintained in A Passage to India's hidden storeroom, serves all of California and the surrounding states (one assumes LA was too bustling and changing to install a portal there). This is, of course, a function of the size of the US. European portals in London, Paris, Prague, etc., are much closer together and more convenient.

A kind of gateway, a portal can transport a mage from California to New York in a few minutes, by way of a kind of foggy tunnel through a transitional dimension called the Overworld. One mentally configures the portal's destination by using magical will to set previously-memorized coordinates. Then, simply walk into the portal and through the tunnel to the destination portal - a matter of seconds to minutes, no more. Once having arrived, a mage then resets the destination's coordinates back to a 'neutral', both as courtesy, and to obscure their travel from scrutiny and intrusion if a private portal was the origination point.

Private portals are rare, due to the expense of creating them. Stone, however, is exceptionally privileged to have access to private portals in his Surrey house, then Kensington and Caventhorne and, eventually, Encantada.

Created accidentally by a botched summoning, portals were discovered first by Stone's great-grandfather and his associates (Game of Stone). At first, they used the portal to dispose of the bodies of sacrificial victims, pitching them into the foggy dimension. Another serendipitous accident led to Stone's ancestor and an associate both opened the portal from different locations, and came to magical blows until they realized who each other was, and that they'd discovered a method of magical long-distance travel. Because the mages couldn't figure out how to replicate their accidents, they were forced to call in others for assistance, making the knowledge public and paving the way for other private portals and, eventually, public portals.

Until very recently, portal travel could be hazardous. Shadowy, amorphous beings patrolled the fog just outside the immediate travel tunnel. Drawn to strong negative emotion, they did all they could to inspire fear and terror, then horribly devoured any mage traveler that couldn't keep a lock on his or her emotions. Eventually identified as the Evil by the Forgotten, these predators were rendered nearly extinct when Stone and his friends sealed access to their home dimension with most of them on the Earthly side (The Source), where they had only moments to either possess a human or perish. The odd shadowy form is still spotted in the Overworld on occasion, but the Evil are no longer a significant threat to portal travel.
Arthur Ward

One of Alastair Stone's best friends, dating back to his University days.

Arthur is a distinguished-looking Black man in his middle forties, tall and thin with graying temples. He dresses in a conservative style. Though he is a quiet man, he has a dry but wicked sense of humor. He was a researcher before Stone tapped him to join Eddie Monkton in taking charge of the Caventhorne facility.
Cloud OnBoard

Uma experiência com a Google

No dia 02 de junho aconteceu aqui, em um shopping da capital baiana, o Cloud OnBoard: um evento patrocinado pela grandiosa Google, que teve como tema principal a apresentação de mais um excelente empreendimento, a Google Cloud Platform.

Tendo como premissa angariar futuras empresas como clientes em potencial, o Cloud OnBoard ofereceu um mini treinamento voltado para as áreas de desenvolvedor, programador, ou especialistas e amantes de tecnologia da informação. As palestras foram trabalhadas diretamente com os fundamentos das tecnologias da Google Cloud Platform, que é um conceito que tem revolucionado o mundo da tecnologia por conta de fatores como mobilidade do acesso e segurança no armazenamento de dados. Outro fato que tem levado cada vez mais empresas a migrarem para a nuvem é a economia gerada na contratação de aplicações.

De longe, um dos maiores e melhores eventos de tecnologia que participamos, desde a organização até os assuntos abordados. O treinamento aconteceu no Allianz Parque, em São Paulo. Contudo, foi transmitido ao vivo em salas de cinemas de seis cidades brasileiras, e por nossa sorte, Salvador foi uma delas.

Como as vagas era limitadas nem todas as pessoas conseguiram assistir aos treinamentos  nas salas de cinema, mesmo com a locação de mais duas salas não foi suficiente para comportar todas as pessoas que realizaram inscrição para a capital baiana.

O Cloud OnBoard foi bastante criterioso em relação aos horários. Todos os treinamentos e apresentações começaram e terminaram no tempo previsto. A transmissão estava com uma qualidade maravilhosa, o espaço bastante confortável e aconchegante. Sem contar que ganhamos vales-lanche, existe coisa melhor que isso?!

O evento também contou com a participação dos principais especialistas em Cloud Computing da empresa, como também demonstrações das ferramentas de Google Cloud Platform. O treinamento foi dividido em sete módulos focados em tecnologias e soluções de nuvem, são eles: Google App Engine, Datastore, Storage, Container Engine, Compute Engine e Network, Big Data e Machine Learning.

Há uma ressalva sobre essa última. Como nem tudo são flores, praticamente não conseguimos ouvir e, consequentemente, compreender o que de fato é a Machine Learning. Não sabemos o que ocasionou a falha, se foi erro na transmissão ou problemas técnicos com a sala de cinema, mas o fato é que teremos que estudar sobre essa tecnologia sem a ajudinha do especialista.

Já o módulo de encerramento focou em dicas profissionais, de postura e atitudes, e de como esse conhecimento pode ser usado para ajudar em nossa carreira.

Por último, mas não menos importante: ganhamos um voucher no valor de R$300,00 (sim, trezentos reais!) para comprarmos serviços do Google Cloud Platform e colocarmos em prática todo o conhecimento adquirido.
Daphne Weldon

A former girlfriend of Stone's who disappeared. A project of hers went wrong, resulting in her and her team all disappearing, presumed dead. It also directly resulted in the Evil being allowed entry to Earth through her failed, unstable portals. See Threshold and The Source.

Daphne reappears eleven years later with her son, Jeremy, having spent all that time in another dimension. See Rite of Passage.

Forgotten

Most known Forgotten have some kind of mental illness. Their powers vary; concealment, sensing danger, sensing the Evil, healing, communicating with animals, finding needful things. Some of the Forgotten can see it in people—see when they’re possessed. That’s one of the reasons they stick together—it’s trying to kill them, because they’re the only ones who can, or almost the only ones. Forgotten can’t be possessed. It's theorized that it has to do with the powers somehow, or with how their brains are mixed up. The Forgotten we meet in the series are homeless. Their powers fade and disappear once thd Evil portals close.

First appear in The Forgotten
Owen Goetz

Owen is a terrible mage, but has one wild talent: the ability to create a personal portal at any time to any place he can visualize. He primarily uses it to get into secure places and steal things. This brings him into the orbit of Miriam Cheltham, who uses him to steal necromantic journals and transport zombies. (See Death's Door)
Ghoul

## Feral Ghoul

Ghouls are humans who have been infected by a bite or scratch from another ghoul. There are three types of ghouls:

* Feral ghouls are those that were unable to eat human flesh before their infection progressed to the point where they lost their humanity. They are animalistic and vicious, and survive by living in graveyards and eating corpses, though they will kill an unwary human.
* Safe ghouls are those that retained their humanity and intelligence, having eaten human flesh before they were rendered feral. Usually, another safe ghoul assists them, explaining what has happened to them and how to retain their humanity. They need only eat human flesh once a month to avoid going feral. Therefore, many take jobs where they will have access to corpses, such as in morgues.
* Semi-feral ghouls, unknown prior to Flesh and Stone, somehow ended up in a half-state. They aren't the animalistic, mindless graveyard-dwellers, but they are amoral killers existing on the fringes of humanity, and murdering humans to survive.
Changeling

Changelings vary widely

Humans altered by extra-dimensional energy, Changelings have different, and often bizarre, forms when viewed with magical sight. They can see each other's altered forms, as well.

## Changeling 101

### Origin

Changelings first came into being on Earth during Rite of Passage, and became known in Winds of Change. Daphne Weldon's exradimensional son, Jeremy, inadvertently created openings to other planes when he was upset. Stone and Co. thought they had closed them all in ROP, but missed a small one hidden in a hotel closet. During the time the small rift is open, it emits particles which actively seek out host organisms to 'infect'. These particles are attracted to mundanes with magic in their family bloodline.

The particles alter a human's auric essence. While they appear no different to mundane sight, mages and other Changelings can see their new, altered form, which usually (but not always) corresponds to a recognizable earthly animal, such as a cat or frog.

### Traits

The Change seems to occur in such a way that it reflects, or even enhances a person's personality. For example, curious but indolent Gina is a cat-form, while an argumentative man with anger issues became an ogre. Gina's tendencies toward curiosity and naps are further enhanced by the change. So, too, Wayne Carter is an oversexed man resentful of his family duties. He'd rather be having fun. Once Changed into a satyr, his appetite for sex, alcohol and parties becomes insatiable.

### Society

There are divisions within the Changeling community, unfortunately. Those with more grotesque forms often resent those considered more 'cute'.

### Special Abilities

Can generate feelings of unease and being watched.

A few of the Changeling types have chemicals that can affect the mind. Saliva, or something they exude from their skin.
London Library

Not where you would expect a vast magical library to exist.

The London Library is one of the largest collections of magical tomes in the world. Curated by Eddie Monkton, it contains The Stacks where, typically, no one but Eddie goes. There is no card catalogue; the information on what's stored there is all in Eddie's brain.

Sited in a nondescript London neighborhood, the Library looks like nothing so much as someone's maiden aunt's home, unredecorated since the 1940s (and according to Verity, not dusted since then, either).
Stefan Kolinsky

A black/dark mage who owns a disreputable magic shop in East Palo Alto, CA. Stone meets Kolinsky for the first time in Flesh and Stone, when Madame Huan suggests Kolinsky might be a valuable resource for information about the "cannibal zombie" murderers in the Bay Area.

Kolinsky is of indeterminate age (somewhere between a mature fifty and a very hale seventy). He is powerfully built, with broad shoulders, black hair, heavy brows, pale skin, and black eyes. He always wears an old-fashioned, tailored black suit. His manners are impeccable, but he doesn't suffer fools gladly. He speaks with an Eastern European accent.

Kolinsky is an information broker, and will never provide anything without payment. Usually for Stone, that payment comes in the form of either favors owed, information, or interesting magical texts.

### WARNING, Possible Spoilers Ahead

Kolinsky is revealed in Homecoming to be a dragon in human form, one of several who were exiled to Earth from an as-yet-unspecified dimension hundreds or thousands of years ago.
Ordo Pupuratus

According to Stone, the Ordo was an organization composed of wealthy European mages who cared little for the lives of anyone they considered a lesser being—and included among that number all mundanes, mages who were members of the lower classes, and essentially anyone who didn’t agree with their ideas about how the world should be run. An organization that thought nothing of practicing human sacrifice of these “lesser beings” to fuel their powerful rituals.

Thought extinct, the Ordo resurfaces in The Madness Below.
Adelaide Bonham

Elderly Adelaide Bonham is a widow, 89 years old when we meet her in the first Stone novel, Stone and a Hard Place. She's described as tiny and birdlike, with fluffy white hair and bright blue eyes. She spends most of her time in a wheelchair.

Adelaide has become convinced that evil spirits have come to inhabit her old Los Gatos mansion, whispering to her in the night of anger and death, and ordering her to leave the house. Stone comes at her nephew, Tommy Langley's insistence, to 'clear' the house and convince Adelaide all is well.

Despite a series of frightening, even dangerous occurrences, Adelaide insists on holding an annual charity event at the house. Clued in now that Stone is some kind of magic-user, Adelaide enlists him to protect the house so the event can proceed as planned. Stone ends up battling an evil entity, as well as the blood mages who summoned it. Both Langley and Stone's apprentice, Ethan, are killed, and the house burns down. Adelaide, her nurse Iona, and the guests are all evacuated safely. Her house gone, Adelaide enters a senior care home, where she lives at least another four years.
Toni Erdmann

'Şu an' ve Toni Erdmann,

Tez için araştırma yaparken literatürdeki bazı Türkiye analizlerinin zaman algısına özellikle vurgu yaptığını ve değişik kavramlar tasarladıklarını keşfettim. Bunlar çoğu zaman tarihin ne şekilde dizildiğine bağlı oluyordu. Sürekli bir Batı medeniyetine yetişme telaşının yıpranmışlığı olan 'Geç kalmışlık' duygusu ve zayıf tarihsellik sebebiyle 'sürekli bir ütopya hayaliyle yaşamak' mesela...

Bazı kaynaklarda bu kavramların negatif sonuçlarını yok etmenin bir yolunun 'şimdini ihtimalleri'ni keşfetmekten geçtiği belirtiliyordu. İlginç bir şekilde bunun New Age kültürünün en önemli öğretisi olan 'Şu Anda Kalmak/Anı Yaşamak' ile benzediğini fark ettim.

Toni Erdmann'ı neden bu kadar sevdiğimi düşünürken -özellikle de bazıları nefret etmişken- yukarıda bahsettiğim zaman mevzusu üzerinde çokça durduğu için olabileceğini farkettim. Mesela filmdeki iki ana karakterden biri olan Ines'in Expat hayatı zaten kendi başına zamanı büken bir durum. İşin dolayısıyla geçici olarak bir şehre gidiyorsun ve filmde de yansıtıldığı üzere iş yoğunluğunun bloke ettiği bir yaşam tarzı dolayısıyla o şehirle bir bağ kuramayarak günlerini geçiriyorsun. O sırada gerçekten orada mısın, yoksa beş yıldızlı otel lobilerinde daha parlak olacak geleceğine ulaşmak amacıyla gün mü sayıyorsun?

Almanya'ya yaptığı ziyaretin sonucunda kızının mutsuz olduğunu düşünen babanın çözümü onu tekrar 'şu ana' getirmeye çalışmak oluyor. Bunun için ilk adımı kızının çevresindeki iş yaşamının sürekli geleceğe dair olan koşullarını bozmaya çalışmak. Toni'nin stili bana 'İktidarın gözü'nün önünden kaçabilmenin yolu, onun için görünmez hale gelmeyi sağlayacak özgün, bireysel teknikler geliştirmekten geçer' (Maurice Blanchot) sözünü hatırlattı. İktidarın, yani iş hayatının canını sıktığı Ines'i, babası 'özel' teknikleriyle kurtarmayı deniyor.

Ines nasıl bir yöne sürüklenecek, tekrar bir sarmala girecek mi bilmiyoruz. Fakat insanlar önünde sunum yaparken heyecanlanmamak için defalarca tekrar yapan, bu konuda yaşam koçundan (tabii ki skype'dan) destek alan Ines'in, bu heyecanını yenmek konusunda çok fazla yol katettiğini bize anlatan sahnelerin filme koyulduğu bir gerçek. Ölümü öyle yüz küsür sene önce olduğu kadar ensesinde hissetmeyen insanoğlunun çağımızda 'uzuun yaşantısı' hakkında doyasıya hayaller kurması veya envai çeşit imkanla gerçeklikten kopması meseleleri yaşamımızın doğal bir parçası. Yine de şu anı hissetmenin 'özel' yollarını bulma düşüncesini bu denli ulaşılabilir göstermesi belki de bu filmin bana bir armağanı olmuştur.

Londra'dayken kendime aldığım tek hediye olan (selam pound) bu Little White Lies sinema dergisi yarısını Toni Erdmann'a ayırmış. Geçiş sayfasının çok beğendiğim tasarımını bu yazının resmi olarak seçtim.

Tez'den vakit bulup buraya kaçtıkça görüşmek dileğiyle :)) Selamlar
Ian Woodward Stone

Ian is Alastair's son with a college girlfriend, Jessamy Woodward. He was completely unaware of Ian's existence until the boy, at 19, contacted him in The Seventh Stone. Ian has tremendous potential as a mage, but seems inclined to travel the world looking for excitement and fun rather than study magic seriously, at least for a while.
