"I was told that these pills Would increase my intelligence; Instead, they made My bacteria smart. They decided it was time To find better residence, So they went their own way, And I fell apart!" __________________________________________ See Mr. Pendlum's Compendium come to life!

Ep. 7 of Syne Shorts, "Calendar": World Day for Audiovisual Heritage "October 27th is World Day for Audiovisual Heritage. Sound recordings, moving images, photography, film, radio— these kinds of audiovisual documents are like the memory of our world. They transcend time, distance, and social and cultural barriers, and keep a record of our collective history and heritage. However, these kinds of archives are usually very vulnerable and can easily be damaged or destroyed through neglect, decay, and destruction. We must become more aware of the importance of protecting and preserving these precious records, and this is what World Day for Audiovisual Heritage is about." Pendlum's Pick: Videotape, film, and photographs, Records played on phonographs-- So fragile and frail are these archives; They must be preserved and digitized! Syne Key words for further research: audiovisual documentation; audiovisual heritage; digital storytelling; digital media; multimedia art

Early reservations For this new sensation Based on calculations by Mr. Einstein? I've heard they first seat you Then proceed to shrink you To a very minuscule particle size. They then put you all in A small speck of pollen And watch you all randomly jiggle inside, With nowhere to hide As the coaster collides With the atoms, all zipping around left and right! I'm sure Robert Brown Would have flipped if he found Children bouncing around in such terrible ride. With bitter emotion I deplore the notion Of this brand new Brownian Motion Ride!" _________________________________________________________________________________________

Siddhartha (Running Water) is about the universal struggle of learning to deal with change.

The poetic and other-worldly sounds and lyrics of “Siddhartha” tell about this universal struggle, as told through the story of Siddhartha Gautama, the man who would eventually become known as the Buddha." Lyrics: Siddhartha (Running Water) by Syne There was a man once locked away Walls so high Kept him away from all the pain The bad, the broken He hid behind a mind unopened Then one day he ran away Searching for an answer To this world of change And fleeting moments Running 'round, eyes wide open Running 'round, running 'round searching so far Trying to find something to hold on to But we’re running water Running 'round, running 'round searching so far Trying to find something to hold on to But we’re running water We’re running water He ate the bark from Bodhi trees Starved himself Until he fell down on his knees Broken, beaten Now living in a world of weakness ‘Til he fell upon a dream And he saw The only way to free himself From his demons Was to change with the seasons Cause we run around, run around Searching so far Trying to find something to hold on to But we’re running water Running 'round, running 'round Searching so far Trying to find something to hold on to But we’re running water We’re running water

Ep. 2 of Syne Shorts, "Calendar": World Oceans Day. "June 8th is World Oceans Day, proposed by Canada in 1992 to help conserve the world’s oceans. Oceans give us oxygen and food. Their currents distribute heat around the world, regulating climate and weather patterns They are home to an immense variety of life, from the tiny phytoplankton to the titanic blue whale. Sadly, human activity has impacted even the most remote ocean areas. Pollution, global warming, overfishing, and habitat destruction threaten all ocean life, and, in effect, all life on Earth. Our oceans connect and protect us, and now we must protect them. " Pendlum's Pick: This microscopic ocean plant, The tiny phytoplankton, Produces most of our oxygen; If you meet, be sure to thank them! Website: syneverse.com Social Media: @syneverse

Ep. 8 of Syne Shorts, "Calendar": International Mountain Day "Mountains, these mighty structures are home to many people, they cradle many cities and villages. They are also home to about one-quarter of the world’s land animals and plants and they give us about 70 percent of our fresh water. Mountains are mighty, but they too can be harmed by us As climate changes, mountain glaciers melt. The land erodes, and animals, plants, and villages perish. And the consequences affect every one of us. By reducing our carbon footprint and raising awareness, we can protect them." Pendlum's Pick: For ages seen as the homes of Gods, Where one could find the Olympus gates, Mountains are forged with time and force, And by Earth's mighty tectonic plates! Syne Key words for further research: mountains; tectonic plates; Mount Olympus; alpine glacier; mountain formation
