Meaningful Play: Getting Gamification Right

Google Tech Talk January 24, 2011 Presented by Sebastian Deterding ABSTRACT Foursquare, GetGlue, Nike+, Badgeville: From reading news to fulfilling your hearts' desires, more and more "gameified" applications and "gamification" vendors doll out points and badges to users, promising anything from increased user engagement and retention to plain mind control. While some hold that adding such game elements to non-game applications opens a new decade of design, others criticize current implementations as shallow "pointsification" and overselling of a new digital snake oil. What lessons do games really offer for user experience design? Which criticisms are valid? And what can designers interested in "gameifying" an application do to steer clear of the worst pitfalls? In this talk, researcher and designer Sebastian Deterding provides an overview of the current gamification movement, its most troubling blind spots, the motivational powers of games, and how to design for a playful experience that is truly meaningful to its users. Sebastian Deterding - Sebastian Deterding is a user experience designer and game researcher at the University of Hamburg, Germany, where he currently pursues a PhD on the motivational psychology of gameified applications. He speaks and publishes internationally on gamification, social games, and the social contexts of video games at events such as the Gamification Summit, Gamescom, reboot, Playful, or DiGRA. His work has been covered by The Guardian, the <b>...</b>

Meaningful Work through Passion, not Genius

At the Dreamforce conference in San Francisco, Malcolm Gladwell, author of "Blink" and the upcoming "Outliers," gives two examples of hard work that later looked like genius. Bill Gates got up at 2am to program as a teenager, while the Beatles played together 1200 times, far more than most bands, before they ever got famous. Success, he believes, is the result of putting your heart and mind into something to create successful, meaningful work.

Abdur Raheem Green - Meaningful Mankind, The Purpose of Life

Abdur Rahim Green talks about the purpose of life under the topic "Meaningful Mankind, The Islamic Definition". Born in Dar-es-salaam in Tanzania to British parents, Green's father (born in England), Gavin Green, was a colonial administrator in the then extant British Empire. At an early age he moved back to the UK with his parents. His mother is of original Polish origin. At the age of 10 he attended a Roman Catholic Monastic boarding school at Gilling Castle and then went onto Ampleforth College and went on to study history in the London University. However, he left his education unfinished in an effort to devote himself to Islamic works. He became dissatisfied with Christianity at the age of 8, with it not making sense to him. Green researched and practiced many religions, including Buddhism (for 3 years) before embracing Islam. Whilst in Britain his father got a job in 1976 working for Barclays Bank International and was subsequently sent to Cairo, Egypt, to set up a branch of the Bank there. His study of the Noble Qur'an immediately attracted him to Islam and he embraced Islam in 1988. He has been a Daw'ah practitioner in Britain since then. Green now works in the London Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre as the Visits and English Dawa Co-ordinator. Green is seen akin to lecturers such as Dr. Zakir Naik, Dr. Bilal Philips, Khalid Yasin and Yvonne Ridley, doing many lectures on Islam worldwide and also in London's famous Hyde Park, Speakers Corner.

In Search of Meaningful Work

In Search of Meaningful Work, part of the series "Inspiring West Virginians," profiles a couple who run a world-renowned research and medical clinic that treats genetic disorders in Old Order Amish and Mennonite children. D. Holmes Morton, MD, a pediatrician from Fayetteville, and Caroline Morton, from Beckley, founded the Clinic for Special Children about 21 years ago in Strasburg, Pa., after Holmes visited Amish families who had several children with debilitating genetic disorders. The physician/scientist model for the clinic - a place which includes home visits, on-site research and testing, and practicing close to the patients - is based on Caroline Morton's experience of the Raleigh County coal camps where her grandfather practiced for over 50 years, and her father's work as a family physician in Beckley, treating patients from birth to death. Holmes Morton overcame daunting hurdles as a high school drop-out to find "meaningful work," as he calls it. Morton's work in understanding Glutaric Aciduria Type 1 has led to preventive treatments. The screening programs developed in the clinic are now used for all newborns in Pennsylvania and in many other parts of the United States. Produced by Jean Snedegar for West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

มโนราบูชายัญ Manohra Dance of Sacrifice by Fire

เป็นการแสดงที่นำมาจากการแสดงละครเรื่อง "พระสุธน - มโนราห์" ตอน มโนราห์บูชายัญ ซึ่งกรมศิลปากรได้จัดแสดงขึ้น และแสดงให้ประชาชนชาวไทยดูเป็นครั้งแรกเมื่อปีพ.ศ. ๒๔๙๘ กล่าวถึง เมื่อนางมโนราห์ขอปีก หางได้แล้ว ก็แสร้งกล่าวทูลลา และขอพระราชทานอภัยต่อท้าวอาทิตยวงศ์ แล้วร่ายรำทำท่าคล้ายกับจะกระโดดเข้ากองไฟ ระบำชุดนี้ใช้เพลงแขกบูชายัญ โดยอาจารย์มนตรี ตราโมท ได้นำเพลงเร็วของคุณครูหลวงประดิษฐ์ไพเราะ มาบรรเลงร่วมกับโทนและกลองชาตรี ไม่มีเนื้อร้อง ผู้แสดงจะร่ายรำตามจังหวะเครื่องดนตรี Manohra Dance of Sacrifice by Fire Manohra Dance featuring the sacrifice by fire is a solo dance excerpt from the story called Prince Suthon and the Kinnari Manohra. Manohra is a bird half women creature kinnari, wife of Prince Suthon. While the prince is engaging in a war at the front the unscrupulous court advisors conspire to misleading the king to believe that he is in a desperately ill situation. The only means to eradicate the evil spell is by sacrificing his daughter-in-law, Manohra, by fire. The ceremony for sacrifice by fire is thus prepared. Manohra pretends to accept the sacrifice, but offers to delight the king with a farewell dance, with one proviso: that it will not be perfect unless she has back her full dress, complete with the wings and tail which were original taken from her. Her demand fulfilled, she dances a few rounds, then flies away to her homeland.
American Beauty - There's so much beauty in this world

Some meaningful dialogues between Thora Birch as Jane and Wes Bently as Ricky in the Oscar winning movie American Beauty(1999).
One of Carl Sagan's most pertinent messages for humanity

"Those worlds in space are as countless as all the grains of sand on all the beaches of the Earth. Each of those worlds is as real as ours. In every one of them, there's a sucsession of incidence, events, occurences which influence its future. Countless worlds, numberless moments, an immensity of space and time. And our small planet, at this moment, here we face a critical branch-point in the history. What we do with our world, right now, will propagate down through the centuries and powerfully affect the destiny of our descendants. It is well within our power to destroy our civilization, and perhaps our species as well. If we capitulate to superstition, or greed, or stupidty we can plunge our world into a darkness deeper than time between the collapse of classical civilization and the Italian Renaissaince. But, we are also capable of using our compassion and our intelligence, our technology and our wealth, to make an abundant and meaningful life for every inhabitant of this planet. To enhance enormously our understanding of the Universe, and to carry us to the stars." Carl Sagan explains the immensity of space and time. This clip is from Carl Sagan's Cosmos episode 8, "Journeys in Space and Time."

Insaan Bano - Baiju Bawra

A very meaningful song, another gem from Baiju Bawra, a beautiful composition by Naushad, awesome rendering by Rafi - all departments perfect. This song has a deep meaning, apart from the obvious (commenting on the human nature) and circumstantial one. It very much applies to the today's world in which the man is moving towards materialistic ambitions, pludering all the resources available and putting an end to all the peace in the world. Enjoy the song!

Life is wonderful with lyrics by Jason Mraz

"Life Is Wonderful" by: Jason Mraz It takes a crane to build a crane It takes two floors to make a story It takes an egg to make a hen It takes a hen to make an egg There is no end to what I'm saying It takes a thought to make a word And it takes some words to make an action It takes some work to make it work It takes some good to make it hurt It takes some bad for satisfaction La la la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful Al la la la la It takes a night to make it dawn And it takes a day to make you yawn brother And it takes some old to make you young It takes some cold to know the sun It takes the one to have the other And it takes no time to fall in love But it takes you years to know what love is It takes some fears to make you trust It takes those tears to make it rust It takes the dust to have it polished Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Ah la la la la la la life is so full of Ah la la la la la la life is so rough Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Ah la la la la la la life is our love Ah la la la la la It takes some silence to make sound It takes a loss before you found it And it takes a road to go nowhere It takes a toll to make you care It takes a hole to make a mountain Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle Ha la la la la la life is wonderful Ha la la <b>...</b>

DIY Gift Idea

Hey Everybody! This video is a little different. One of my new years resolutions is to get crafty. It's fun and helps me to relax. I think one of the best gifts to give somebody is a mug. It's useful because we drink everyday and if its a personalized one- it means it is going to be one of a kind. It's sedimental and can be meaningful. You don't have to be an artist to paint your own mug. It's all about the thought that counts. You can draw/write ANYTHING on the mug. Just enjoy the process. I started off using a Children's Tea Set from Toys R Us. Cost 6.99 (was on offer too wakaka). I bought my own mugs (6 mugs for 2.99) so what does this tell you? It's cheap to paint your own mugs!! It's so much more meaningful too! So this is just a suggestion. Obviously if you want to seriously get into it and make it into a hobby- you can buy your own actual porcelain paint like me (I have yet to try tehehe). Big thanks to youtuber "DTrinh09" for the awesome Totoro instrument! Hope you are all well! Talk to you guys soon in Hong Kong. I fly back in a few days!

Not Strong Enough - Apocalyptica

I really wish people would STOP commenting on the dislike bar, or the ammount of people who disliked the video, and just ENJOY THE MUSIC! Comment on that, not the idiots who don't enjoy deep and meaningful songs. Featuring Shinedown's Brent Smith. I love this song so much! Its so meaningful and passionate, you can't help but love it. And its so relateable too, at least to me it is. :) Sorry the timing is a bit off at points, I think the Movie Maker was acting up again. Also, someone asked me to put a link to their music fansite. I to have one of these, so I felt like supporting them. thebestmusictoday.com

臺灣觀光首支全球電影廣告"Time for Taiwan -- My Beautiful Island" 1分鐘版(2011年)

The most meaningful element of a trip is "people", who give tourists their most lasting memories, and it is friendly interpersonal relations that make Taiwan a unique destination for tourists from all over the world. The Tourism Bureau invited director Johnason Lo, who has won international Promax, iF Design, and red-dot awards, and Michael Fimognari, a well-known photographer with two Emmy awards to his credit, to help produce the film, "Time for Taiwan—My Beautiful Island". The film takes a completely different perspective, and focuses primarily on interpersonal relations at their most unique. The film is designed in a way that escapes the constraints of a rigid government promotional film, and also abandons the old fashioned style of a drama or a scenic-spot-oriented film. The images in the film are seen through eyes of four groups of tourists and through their stories in Taiwan, which show vividly the excitement and discovery they experience during their journey. A trip can produce in tourists valuable memories and a desire to come again. This is what the film, "It's time for Taiwan", tries to tell everyone in the world: come experience this beautiful island. 旅行中最令人印象深刻的是「人」,也因為「人」使旅行更具意義和價值,而臺灣的人情味一直都是國際旅客最為稱讚的魅力點。觀光局特別邀請獲得Promax、iF Design、red-dot國際競賽大獎的臺灣新銳導演羅申駿先生,以及榮獲2座艾美獎的美國知名攝影師Mr. Michael Fimognari,為本片"Time for Taiwan—My Beautiful Island"親自操刀,跳脫政府 <b>...</b>
+ 44 - Little Death (w/ lyrics)

Little Death by +44 Lyrics: Please sleep, my darling, sleep Your cry for inspiration Never reaches ears on distant stars And every night our lonely planet Slides across the universe And I won't pretend I understand Please sleep, my darling, sleep Your death by information Won't disturb the peace on distant stars And even when you lock the doors And slide behind the unlit shades None of us are strangers anymore Fall asleep with the windows open Come to me with the worst you've said and done You'll close your eyes and see me A little death makes life more meaningful I stand no chance at all Please, sleep my darling, sleep Your car crash in slow motion Won't upset the pace on distant stars And one by one the years of our lives Stumble as the moments pass So please hold on, so please hold on So fall asleep with the windows open Come to me with the worst you've said and done You'll close your eyes and see me A little death makes life more meaningful I stand no chance at all Please, sleep my darling, sleep Please, sleep my darling, sleep So fall asleep with the windows open Come to me with the worst you've said and done You'll close your eyes and see me A little death makes life more meaningful I stand no chance at all ***I Claim NO Rights To This Song***
